HENRIQUEZ: A TRAGEDY.


LEONORA.

I cannot doubt it. When he left the chapel

A long time in his chamber he remain'd;
When he came forth again, I watch'd his eye,
And it was calm, though gloomy. Then, forthwith,
He gave his orders that a band of spearmen
Should be in readiness to guard the prisoner
Bound to Zamora; and were he in doubt,
He were not now so calm, being before
So greatly agitated. Hie thee quickly.
[Exeunt severally.





ACT V.

SCENE I.

The Court at Zamora, a Grand Hall of Audience. Nobles, Prelates, Officers, &c. discovered in waiting; a Flourish of Trumpets; enter the King and his Train, who walks slowly, as he receives their Homage, to a Chair of State near the front of the Stage.

FIRST NOBLEMAN (presenting a petition).

May't please your highness, look on this petition,

Humbly presented to your royal notice
By one of noble blood.
