ACT II.
Scene I.—Exterior of a Church in Verona.
Enter Teobaldo and Fesenio.
Teobaldo.
AND Dorotea tarries still within?
Fesenio. She does, and sad at heart enough,
For two Monteses, Donda and Andrea,
Removed her seat aside.
Teobaldo. Was no Castelvin there?
Fesenio. One, of all Castelvin's band
The most of settled purpose and command;
Alone he scarce would care to draw,
And more than that, who dares forget
A church's floor is holy ground?
Some small attempt at parley
Did he make, but many Montes, one by one
Came forth, and then most prudent
He gave way.
Teobaldo. How, gave way?
Fesenio. In silence, still with sullen scorn.
Teobaldo. Such silence did the coward prove
Where tarries Dorotea?
