Hernani: No! I have more than you have to avenge.
Their Leader: Don Ruy Gomez de Silva, you shall strike
The second blow if the first fail. And now
Let us all swear to strike and die in turn,
Until Charles falls.
The Conspirators: We swear!
Charles (coming out of the tomb): You are dead men.
[The great vault is lighted up by torches, and a band of soldiers who have been hiding behind the pillars surround the Conspirators.
Charles (to a soldier): Bring in the lady. (To Hernani)
What is your true name?
Hernani: I will reveal it now that I must die.
Don Juan of Aragon, Duke of Segorbe,
Duke of Cardona, Marquis of Monroy,
Count Albatera, and Viscount of Gor,
And lord of scores of towns and villages
Whose names I have forgotten. You, no doubt,
Remember all of them, Charles of Castile,
For they belong to you now.
[The soldier returns with Doña Sol. She throws herself at the emperor's feet.
Doña Sol: Pardon him!
Charles: Rise, Duchess of Segorbe and Cardona.
Marquise of Monroy—and your other names, Don Juan?
