[Exeunt Henriquez, and Melchior; Cæsario is following when Amelrosa shrieks from within: he stops and remains motionless.]

Amel. [Within.] Oh! mercy, mercy!
Inis. [Within.] She dies!
Estel. [Within.] Nay, hold her! hold her down!
Amel. [Within.] Oh! Oh!

[Solemn requiem chanted within.]

Peace to the parted saint! Pure soul, farewell!

[The scene closes.]

Scene III.—A field of battle—alarums—thunder and lightning.

Soldiers cross the stage fighting.

Enter Orsino.

Orsi. Oh! shame, shame, shame!—Sun, thou dost well to hide thee,
Nor light Castile's disgrace.—Oh! I could tear
My flesh for rage!

Enter Ricardo.
