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.
