Cardenos. Help!
Enrique. (Leaping upon him) Silence!
Cardenos. (Drawing his dagger) Help!
Enrique. (Snatching it from him. He seizes Cardenos by the wrists and throws him to the ground) Silence! Silence!
Cardenos. Help!
Enrique. (Seizing his throat) You will be silent, demon!
Cardenos, suffocated, beats the air with his hands, then falls strangled at the right of the steps.
Zoraya. (Leaping towards him) Ah! unfortunate man! What have you done?
Enrique. (Infuriated, stoops over Cardenos) What?—What have I done to him?
Zoraya. (Raising his head) He is dead!
