Old Bathory. Conceal yourself, my lord!
I will mislead them!

Kiuprili. Is Zapolya safe?

Old Bathory. I doubt it not; but haste, haste, I conjure you! [245]

[Enter Casimir.

Casimir. Monster!
Thou shalt not now escape me!

Old Bathory. Stop, lord Casimir!
It is no monster.

[[946]]Casimir. Art thou too a traitor?
Is this the place where Emerick's murderers lurk?
Say where is he that, tricked in this disguise, [250]
First lured me on, then scared my dastard followers?
Thou must have seen him. Say where is th' assassin?

Old Bathory. There lies the assassin! slain by that same sword
That was descending on his curst employer,
When entering thou beheld'st Sarolta rescued! [255]

Casimir. Strange providence! what then was he who fled me?
Thy looks speak fearful things! Whither, old man!
Would thy hand point me?

Old Bathory. Casimir, to thy father.
