[_The Trumpets sound;_ ALMANZOR _and_ ZULEMA
_meet and fight;_ OZMYN _and_ HAMET. _After
some passes, the sword of_ OZMYN _breaks;
he retires, defending himself, and is
wounded; the Zegrys' Trumpets sound their
advantage._ ALMANZOR, _in the mean time,
drives_ ZULEMA _to the farther end of the
Stage, till, hearing the Trumpets of the
adverse Party, he looks back, and sees_
OZMYN'S _misfortune; he makes at_ ZULEMA
_just as_ OZMYN _falls, in retiring, and_
HAMET _is thrusting at him._

_Hamet._ [_to_ OZMYN, _thrusting._]
Our difference now shall soon determined be.

_Almanz._ Hold, traitor, and defend thyself from me.
[HAMET _leaves_ OZMYN _(who cannot rise), and both
he and_ ZULEMA _fall on_ ALMANZOR, _and press
him; he retires, and_ HAMET, _advancing first, is
run through the body, and falls. The Queen's
Trumpets sound._ ALMANZOR _pursues_ ZULEMA.

_Lyndar._ I must make haste some remedy to find:--
Treason, Almanzor, treason! look behind.
[ALMANZOR _looks behind him to see who calls, and_
ZULEMA _takes the advantage, and wounds him; the
Zegrys' Trumpets sound;_ ALMANZOR _turns upon_
ZULEMA, _and wounds him; he falls. The Queens
Trumpets sound._

_Almanz._ Now triumph in thy sister's treachery. [_Stabbing him._

_Zul._ Hold, hold! I have enough to make me die,
But, that I may in peace resign my breath,
I must confess my crime before my death.
Mine is the guilt; the queen is innocent:
I loved her, and, to compass my intent,
Used force, which Abdelmelech did prevent.
The lie my sister forged; but, O! my fate
Comes on too soon, and I repent too late.
Fair queen, forgive; and let my penitence
Expiate some part of-- [_Dies._

_Almah._ Even thy whole offence!

_Almanz._ [_to the Judges._]
If aught remains in the sultana's cause,
I here am ready to fulfil the laws.

_Selin._ The law is fully satisfied, and we
Pronounce the queen and Abdelmelech free.
