COUNTESS.

SOPHERA.
COUNTESS.
Should they effect a breach!—O Garcio, Garcio!
Where wand'rest thou, unblest, unhappy man,
Who hadst our safeguard been!
Enter Pietro.
PIETRO.
The foe have made a breach, and thro' the moat,
Now grown so shallow with the summer drought,
Have made their way.
COUNTESS.
PIETRO.
But now the foemen o'er his body pass,
For he is slain, and all, I fear, is lost.
COUNTESS.
My soldiers will with desperate courage fight,
When they behold their wretched mistress near.
