ROMIERO: A TRAGEDY.
PIETRO.
Is hatching secretly.
ROMIERO.
PIETRO.
As they report it, near the ancient chapel,
Where light pour'd through the trees, and strangely vanished
They know not how. I much suspect your ghosts.
'Tis said they're ominous of death; but weddings,
Or worse than weddings, oft'ner follow after.
You have a rich and beauteous ward: Don Maurice
Is young, ambitious, and cunning:—No!
It is no ghastly spectre haunts your woods.
ROMIERO.
PIETRO.
Donna Zorada's air, who is, you know,
Not much unlike, in size and gait, to Beatrice.
GUZMAN.
Naught ill will follow it; be thou content.
ROMIERO.
