Calabazas. (To Gil Andrès) Do your duty!
When Gil Andrès and his men attempt to lead Zoraya away Enrique rushes into the scene. All stop instantly when Padilla, in the church, cries “Wait!” He enters.
Scene Four
The same persons, Padilla, Enrique
Padilla. (Coming quickly out of the church with Enrique) Stop! (The organ ceases to play. Songs of young girls are heard in the church.) Is it you, sorceress, who have plunged my daughter into this awful sleep from which even the prayers of the church cannot rouse her?
Zoraya. It is I! (Exclamations from the crowd.) And I alone can bring her out of it.
More exclamations from the crowd.
Padilla. Do it then, demon!
Zoraya. Obey you?—No!
Padilla. I will force you to do it!
