Worthy. Behold! He comes! he comes!

Enter Aylmere.

Lacy. Thank Heaven! thou’rt free!

Aylmere, (laughs.) Ay, once more free! within my grasp a sword,

And round me freemen! Free! as is the storm

About your hills; the surge upon your shore!

Free as the sunbeams on the chainless air;

Or as the stream that leaps the precipice,

And in eternal thunder, shouts to Heaven,

That it is free, and will be free forever!
