Covers a Soul more sanctify'd than this
Moorish Robe. _Phil_. Damn his Religion--he has a thousand Crimes That will yet better justify your Sentence. _Men_. Come not within the Court; for if you do, Worse mischief shall ensue--you have your Sentence. [_Ex_. Phil, _and_ Men. _Alon_. My Brother banish'd! 'tis very sudden; For thy sake, Sister, this must be recall'd. [_To_ Flor. _Qu. Alonzo_, join with me, I'll to the King, And check the Pride of this insulting Cardinal. [_Exeunt all, except_ Abdelazer, Florella. _Abd_. Banish'd! if I digest this Gall, May Cowards pluck the Wreath from off my Brow, Which I have purchas'd with so many Wounds, And all for Spain; for _Spain_! ingrateful _Spain_!-- Oh, my _Florella_, all my Glory's vanish'd, The Cardinal (Oh damn him) wou'd have me banish'd. _Flor_. But, Sir, I hope you will not tamely go. _Abd_. Tamely!--ha, ha, ha,--yes, by all means-- A very honest and religious Cardinal! _Flor_. I wou'd not for the World you should be banish'd. |
