IV:1:95 THE UNKNOWN.
Your name is Guzman Jaca?

IV:1:96 1ST BRAVO.
The same.

IV:1:97 THE UNKNOWN.
Honest fellow! there's gold for you. You know nothing of Oran?

IV:1:98 1ST BRAVO.
Maybe he has crawled to some place wounded.

IV:1:99 THE UNKNOWN.
To die like a bird. Look after him. If I wish more, I know
where to find you. What ho, Master Host! I cannot wait to
try your mistress's art to-night; but here's my scot for our
next supper.

[Exit THE UNKNOWN.]

SCENE 2

A Chamber in the Palace of Alarcos.

The COUNTESS and SIDONIA.

IV:2:1 SIDO.
Lady, you're moved: nay, 'twas an idle word.

IV:2:2 COUN.
But was it true?

IV:2:3 SIDO.
And yet might little mean.

IV:2:4 COUN.
That I should live to doubt!

IV:2:5 SIDO.
But do not doubt;
Forget it, lady. You should know him well;
Nay, do not credit it.

IV:2:6 COUN.
He's very changed.
I would not own, no, not believe that change,
I've given it every gloss that might confirm
My sinking heart. Time and your tale agree;
Alas! 'tis true.

IV:2:7 SIDO.
I hope not; still believe
It is not true. Would that I had not spoken!
It was unguarded prate.

IV:2:8 COUN.
You have done me service:
Condemned, the headsman is no enemy,
Bat closes suffering.

IV:2:9 SIDO.
Yet a bitter doom
To torture those you'd bless. I have a thought.
What if this eve you visit this same spot,
That shrouds these meetings? If he's wanting then,
The rest might prove as false.

IV:2:10 COUN.
He will be there,
I feel he will be there.

IV:2:11 SIDO.
We should not think so,
Until our eyes defeat our hopes.

IV:2:12 COUN.
O Burgos,
My heart misgave me when I saw thy walls!
