_Abdal._ Selin, from her alone your orders take.--
This one request, yet, madam, let me make, That, from those turrets, you the assault will see; And crown, once more, my arms with victory. [_Exeunt, leading her out._ [SELIN _remains with_ GAZUL _and_ REDUAN, _his servants._ _Selin._ Gazul, go tell my daughter that I wait-- You Reduan, bring the prisoner to his fate. [_Exeunt_ GAZ. _and_ RED. Ere of my charge I will possession take, A bloody sacrifice I mean to make: The manes of my son shall smile this day, While I, in blood, my vows of vengeance pay. _Enter at one door_ BENZAYDA, _with_ GAZUL; _at the other,_ OZMYN _bound, with_ REDUAN. _Selin._ I sent, Benzayda, to glad your eyes: These rites we owe your brother's obsequies.-- You two [_To_ GAZ. _and_ RED.] the cursed Abencerrago bind: You need no more to instruct you in my mind. [_They bind him to a corner of the stage._ _Benz._ In what sad object am I called to share? Tell me, what is it, sir, you here prepare? _Selin._ 'Tis what your dying brother did bequeath; A scene of vengeance, and a pomp of death! |
