I heard a noise in the street there: went to the window,

And saw a crowd of people, their swords out, fighting

Before the door; and (what will foolish fear

Not conjure up?) methought that one of them

Was you—and suddenly a mortal chill

Came over me, and—you must ask Elvira

For all the rest.

Elv. (aside). Why ever have the trouble

Of coining lies when truth will pass as well?

Enter Lazaro.
