Monviedro. I hope, my lord, your merely human pity [165]
Doth not prevail——

Ordonio. 'Tis certain that he was a catholic;
What changes may have happened in three years,
I can not say; but grant me this, good father:
Myself I'll sift him: if I find him sound, 170
You'll grant me your authority and name
To liberate his house.

Monviedro. Your zeal, my lord,
And your late merits in this holy warfare
Would authorize an ampler trust—you have it.

Ordonio. I will attend you home within an hour. 175

Valdez. Meantime return with us and take refreshment.

Alhadra. Not till my husband's free! I may not do it.
I will stay here.

[[829]]Teresa (aside). Who is this Isidore?

Valdez. Daughter!

Teresa. With your permission, my dear lord, [180]
I'll loiter yet awhile t' enjoy the sea breeze.

[Exeunt Valdez, Monviedro and Ordonio.
