THE BRIDE: A DRAMA.



SCENE V.

A wild Mountain Pass, with a bridge swung from one high perpendicular rock to another. The course of a small stream, with its herby margin, seen beneath. Martial music is heard , and a military procession seen at some distance, winding among the rocks, and at length crossing the bridge. Then come the followers of Rasinga in triumph, leading Samarkoon in chains, followed by men bearing a palanquin, and in the rear Rasinga himself with his principal officers. As he is on the middle of the bridge Juan de Creda enters below, and calls to him with a loud voice.


JUAN.

Rasinga, ho! thou noble chief, Rasinga!


RASINGA (above).

Who calls on me?


JUAN.

Dost thou not know my voice?


RASINGA.

Juan de Creda, is it thou indeed?

Why do I find thee here?
