[_To_ GAZ. _and_ RED.
My father has repented him ere now;
Or will repent him, when he finds me dead.
My clue of life is twined with Ozmyn's thread.

_Red._ 'Tis fatal to refuse her, or obey.--
But where is our excuse? what can we say?

_Benz._ Say any thing.
Say, that to kill the guiltless you were loth;
Or if you did, say, I would kill you both.

_Gaz._ To disobey our orders is to die.--
I'll do't,--who dares oppose it?

_Red._ That dare I. [REDUAN _stands before_ OZMYN, _and fights with_
GAZUL. BENZAYDA _unbinds_ OZMYN, _and gives him
her sword._

_Benz._ Stay not to see the issue of the fight; [RED. _kills_ GAZ.
But haste to save yourself by speedy flight.
[OZMYN _kneels to kiss her hand._

_Ozm._ Did all mankind against my life conspire.
Without this blessing I would not retire.--
But madam, can I go and leave you here?
Your father's anger now for you I fear:
Consider you have done too much to stay.

_Benz._ Think not of me, but fly yourself away.
