ACT II.
SCENE I.—The Castle of Samarkoon. Loud shouting heard without.
Enter several Domestics in confusion.
FIRST DOMESTIC.
What can we do in our brave master's absence?
SECOND DOMESTIC.
It is our lord himself; I know the sound.
And lo! his messenger arrived with tidings.
Enter a Messenger.
MESSENGER.
Our master brings a bride, by conquest won,
To be the bliss and sunshine of his house;
A bride fair as the goddess, bright Patiné.
