Near to the northern postern. Heaven watch o'er thee!
There's some one coming! part as we were strangers,
Without one sign of love. That is the path.

[Exit Sebastian, and after a pause Don Maurice enters by the opposite side.

MAURICE.

Good tidings! Don Romiero is arrived.

ZORADA.

My lord return'd? and art thou sure 'tis he?

MAURICE.

Yes, I am sure; why should I doubt it, Madam?

His train is in the court; and joyful vassals,
Hearing the notice bell, crowd in to greet him.
I have not seen him yet, but am in haste
Come to apprise you of it.

(Observing Zorada motion with her hand, and point as to something at a distance.)

What man is that to whom you motion so?

ZORADA.

A shipwreck'd stranger, who inquired his way,

But was about to take the erring path.

MAURICE.

He has a stately air, though mean his garb;

I'll go myself and guide him through the wood.
