Vic. And yet, Hypolito, we may be wrong,

We may be over-hasty in condemning!

The Count of Lara is a damnéd villain.

Hyp. And therefore is she damnéd, loving him.

Vic. She does not love him! ’Tis for gold—for gold!

Hyp. Aye, but remember, in the public streets

He shows a golden ring the gipsy gave him,

A serpent with a ruby in its mouth.

Vic. She had that ring from me! God! she is false!

But I will be revenged!
