LUDOVIQUO.

Run to him quickly! wherefore didst thou leave him?

(Gauvino again retires as before.)

COUNTESS.

What words were those he uttered?

LUDOVIQUO.

Words of despair and frenzy; heed them not,

But quit the chamber. O, for Heaven's sake, go!

[Exeunt Ludoviquo, hurrying off the Countess and Sophera.

SCENE II.

A small Anteroom or Passage.

Enter Pietro and Gomez by opposite sides.

GOMEZ.

Is the confessor with poor Baldwin still?

PIETRO.

He is; but, as I guess, will leave him presently:

I heard, just now, the chamber-door unlock'd.
I'll keep my station here, and see him pass.

GOMEZ.

And so will I. Ha! yonder, see, he comes.
