THE BRIDE: A DRAMA.

My life from fatal sickness rescued,—dearly,
Full dearly should'st thou pay for such presumption.
Let go thy hold.

JUAN.

I will not till thou promise,

Before thy vengeful purpose is effected,
To see me once again.

RASINGA.

I promise then, thou proud and dauntless stranger;

For benefits are traced in my remembrance
With lines as ineffaceable as wrongs. [Exeunt.




SCENE VI.

The House of Montebesa; who enters, meeting a Servant from the opposite side.


MONTEBESA.

What com'st thou to impart? thy busy face

Is full of mingled meaning, grief and gladness.

SERVANT.

My Lord Rasinga, madam, is returned,—

Return'd victorious; and the fair young bride
Again is rescued by his matchless valour.
