JUL. He comes as herald.

ROD. Thou shalt know full soon,
Insulting Moor.

ABD. He cannot bear the grief
His country suffers; I will pardon him.
He lost his courage first, and then his mind;
His courage rushes back, his mind still wanders.
The guest of heaven was piteous to these men,
And princes stoop to feed them in their courts.


FIRST ACT: FIFTH SCENE.


RODERIGO is going out when MUZA enters with EGILONA; RODERIGO starts
back.

MUZA [sternly to EGILONA.]
Enter, since 'tis the custom in this land.

EGI. [passing MUZA disdainfully, points to ABDALAZIS, and says to
JULIAN.]
Is this our future monarch, or art thou?

JUL. 'Tis Abdalazis, son of Muza, prince
Commanding Africa, from Abyla
To where Tunisian pilots bend the eye
O'er ruined temples in the glassy wave.
