Ard. O, traitor!
You vowed unbroken peace with Suli!
Ban. Yea,
Will keep it too, for I am Suli now.
Ard. [To her brothers] Were you not sworn to Christ?
Bion. We are the Prophet's.
Ard. O, Heaven, hear not this! And Oswald's knights?
Vig. Sleep in Avesta's dungeons.
Bion. Banissat,
Avesta's golden prince, speak you the doom
Of Bertrand——
Ard. Doom? O——
Ber. Do not waste the breath
A kiss may save. A thousand times, your lips!
Ard. [To Biondel] Let him not die!
