Castile! Castile!

Voice. (from the tower.) Line after line of spears,

Lance after lance, upon th’ horizon’s verge,

Like festal lights from cities bursting up,

Doth skirt the plain. In faith, a noble host!

Another voice. The Moor hath turn’d him from our walls, to front

Th’ advancing might of Spain!

Cits. (shouting.) Castile! Castile!

Gonzalez enters, supported by Elmina and a citizen.

Gon. What shouts of joy are these?
