First hear me! I beseech you, let me speak!
’Tis for your good I come.
Pre. (turning towards him with indignation.) Begone! begone!
What means this outrage? What gives you the right
Thus to insult an unprotected woman?
You are the Count of Lara, but your deeds
Would make the statues of your ancestors
Blush on their tombs! Is it Castilian honor
To outrage thus the honor of a maid?
Is it Castilian pride to steal in here
