Soldiers drop down as thick, as if death mowed them;

As scythe-men trim the long-haired ruffian fields,

So fast they fall, so fast to fate life yields.

Enter Balthezar.

Bal. I have sweat much, and cannot find him—Andrea!

And. Prince Balthezar! O lucky minute!

Bal. O long-wished-for hour!

Are you remembered, Don,

Of a daring message and a proud attempt?

You braved me, Don, within my father’s court!
