SCENE III.

An inner Court of the Castle, lighted by a Lamp over the Gateway, the Stage otherwise dark.

Enter Diego and two Servants, with dark lanterns, speaking loud and confusedly as they enter.

FIRST SERVANT.

I could be sworn to it. Go tell my Lord:

Why hold we here such idle altercation?

DIEGO.

He must not be disturbed.

FIRST SERVANT.

How not disturbed?

Enter Carlos above, looking down from an open corridor.

CARLOS.

Ho! who are ye who talk so eagerly?

What is the matter?

FIRST SERVANT.

The murderer is found: come down, Don Carlos,

For we would fain pursue him through the wood,
But thus unarm'd we dare not.
[Exit Carlos above.
