SIEGE OF VALENCIA.
155
Valencia from the Moor4[1].—I will not shame
The blood we draw from him!
(A Moorish Soldier enters).
SOLDIER.
Sends messengers, my chief.
ABDULLAH.
[The Soldier goes out, and re-enters with Elmina,
disguised, and an Attendant.
CARLOS (springing forward to the Attendant).
With thee, that I may see my mother's face
At morning, when I wake. Here dark-brow'd men
Frown strangely, with their cruel eyes, upon us.
Take me with thee, for thou art good and kind,
And well I know, thou lov'st me, my Diego!
ABDULLAH.
Is he grown humbler, doth he set the lives
Of these fair nurslings at a city's worth?
ALPHONSO (rushing forward impatiently).
