Ramiro. She is gathering bad herbs for her philters and poisons.

Enrique. A beautiful creature, truly. See the grace and suppleness in her movements.

Ramiro. One might say as much of a serpent.

Enrique. For shame!

Ramiro. Your Honor should be careful or this she-devil may throw over him the same charm that Circe of yore threw over Ulysses.

Enrique. (Joking) Am I like the goatherd to believe that she will change me into a beast?

Ramiro. No! But through love—it is the same!

Enrique. (Quickly) Enough!—I must speak to her! (He advances into the full moonlight.) Zoraya!

Zoraya. Who is calling me?
