CAJETAN.

Seest thou not Thy presence irks?

BOHEMUND.

Thou hast it, then, the longer!

CAJETAN.

 

My place is here! What arm repels me?

BOHEMUND, Mine!

CAJETAN.

Don Manuel sent me hither.

BOHEMUND.

I obey My Lord Don Caesar.

CAJETAN.

To the eldest born Thy master reverence owes.

BOHEMUND.

The world belongs To him that wins!

CAJETAN.

Unmannered knave, give place!

BOHEMUND.

Our swords be measured first!

CAJETAN.

I find thee ever A serpent in my path.

BOHEMUND.

Where'er I list Thus will I meet thee!

CAJETAN.

Say, why cam'st thou hither To spy?----

BOHEMUND.

And thou to question and command?

CAJETAN.

BEATRICE.

Now he will come! Already The hour is past!

CAJETAN.

'Tis peace, or thou shouldst know My vengeance!

BOHEMUND.

Fear, not peace, thy arm refrains.

BEATRICE.

Oh! Were he thousand miles remote!

CAJETAN.

Thy looks But move my scorn; the compact I obey.

BOHEMUND.

The coward's ready s.h.i.+eld!

CAJETAN.

Come on! I follow.

BOHEMUND.

To arms!

BEATRICE (in the greatest agitation).

Their falchions gleam--the strife begins!

Ye heavenly powers, his steps refrain! Some snare Throw round his feet, that in this hour of dread He come not: all ye angels, late implored To give him to my arms, reverse my prayers; Far, far from hence convey the loved one!
