THE SEPARATION.

---

---

ACT I.

SCENE I.—A Chamber, with a great Screen at the bottom of the Stage, behind which part of a Bed is seen, and Voices heard as the Curtain draws up, while Pietro and Gomez are discovered on the front, looking from a half opened door, as if listening.

GOMEZ.

What said he last? the word died on his tongue.

PIETRO.

So much the better.

GOMEZ.

Makes he confession? Hast thou listen'd long?

He ever wore, ev'n in his days of health,
The scowling eye of an unquiet mind,
And some black deed disturbs his end. Ev'n so;
Thy face confirms it.
