DIEGO.

And do not follow him: O do not, Madam!

And leave his reason free.

LEONORA.

But thou thyself look'st strangely, and thy visage

Retire to your apartment: I meantime
Will watch my Lord, that none may cross his way
Till he be safely lodged within his chamber.

Go, bid those spearmen from the armourer

Receive their pageant suits, and let the warder
Hang o'er the battlements his sable flag.
