THIRD DOMESTIC.

But I must find our master; where is he?

FIRST DOMESTIC.

He was i' th' inner court some minutes since.

[The larum bell is rung, and many people in confusion cross the Stage as the scene closes.]

SCENE IV.

An Open Space before the Gate of the Castle; Armed Men are discovered on the Walls.

Enter Rasinga and his Force.

RASINGA (to those on the walls).

Where is that villain whom ye call your lord?

Let him appear, and say, why, like a robber,—
A reckless, lawless traitor, he hath dared
My servants to attack, my bride to capture,
And do most foul dishonour to my state.
Am I a driv'ling fool,—a nerveless stripling,—
A widow'd ranny, propping infants' rights,
That thus he reckons with impunity
To pour on me such outrage?
