[Hernani enters, disguised as a pilgrim.
Hernani: To you, my lord, all peace and happiness!
Don Ruy Gomez: And peace and happiness to you, my guest!
Where are you bound for?
Hernani: For Our Lady's shrine.
[Doña Sol enters, arrayed in a wedding-dress.
Don Ruy Gomez: Here is the lady at whose shrine I pray.
My dearest bride! Where is your coronet?
You have forgotten it, and all the gems
I gave you as a wedding gift.
Hernani (in a wild, loud voice): What man
Wishes to gain ten thousand golden crowns?
This is the price set upon Hernani.
[Everyone is amazed. Tearing off his pilgrim robe, he
shows himself in the dress of a mountaineer.
I am Hernani.
