CORNET.

No living creature. Thro' the cloister wicket

The Capuchins, as usual, let me in.

OCTAVIO.

Go, rest your limbs, and keep yourself conceal'd.

I hold it probable, that yet ere evening
I shall dispatch you. The developement
Of this affair approaches: ere the day,
That even now is dawning in the heaven,
Ere this eventful day hath set, the lot
That must decide our fortunes will be drawn.

[Exit Cornet.

SCENE III.

Octavio and Max. Piccolomini.

OCTAVIO.

Well—and what now, son? All will soon be clear;

For all, I'm certain, went thro' that Sesina.

MAX.

(Who through the whole of the foregoing scene

has been in a violent and visible struggle of
feelings, at length starts as one resolved)
I will procure me light a shorter way.
Farewell.

OCTAVIO.

Where now?—Remain here.

MAX.

To the Duke.

OCTAVIO.
