Lope de Vega, Castelvines y Monteses — Act III, Scene II (1869)

“ When Julia swoons as one with mortal sickness struck,
And falls as dead.
Roselo. What! my own sweet Julia dead?
Anselmo. Hush! I did due caution hold, and said
That thou shouldst listen. She fell as dead.
Roselo. How can I listen if my love lies dead?
Anselmo. Thy Julia lives.
Roselo. Doth she but live, Anselmo, then
I live, and love, and hope.
Anselmo. Throughout the night her kin and friends
Did mourn and weep her sudden death;
The city, on the morrow, blank with grief did see,
Both young and old move sadly through the streets.
Roselo. Go on. I long for daybreak and the light. ”

“ Thy Julia sleeps; go, and when she wakes again
Together fly, and dwell in France or Spain.
Roselo. I tremble at thy words, Anselmo. Should
She awake amid the silent trappings of the dead,
While we can scarcely, winging way through air
Be at the church ere she awakes,
Will she not die of fear?
Anselmo. Fear not; Aurelio will be well prepared. ”

“ Hist! hist! gentlemen, I pray.
Marin. Senor, 'tis you the lady from the balcon calls;
I am a man, no gentleman within Ferrara's walls.
Roselo. What would you, lady?
Sylvia. Who are the fellows to this noisy brawl?
Roselo. If thou wilt listen, I will tell thee all.
Sylvia. I thank thee, stranger.
Roselo. Know, then, fair lady, we are twain
Who with our rapiers did prevent
A most unseemly brawl 'tween six
Who, coming here to sing beneath
Thy lattice high, we've chased them hence,
And now return to hold us at command.
Sylvia. Who, then, art thou?
Roselo. Roselo Montes, at your feet. ”

“ How much misfortuned love doth grow on hope?
O Heaven! why a moment stay
While Julia waits the dawning day?
Marin. A moment, sir, I pray.
Anselmo. What seek you?
Marin. That vault you named, pray doth it hold
The bones of many dead? and it cold?
Anselmo. Truly, of many, and 'tis somewhat cold.
Marin. Then, sirs, I care to hear no more,
But will e'en wait your worships at the door. ”

“ Anselmo. Your graces, here remain secure.
I seek a stranger.
Roselo. Methinks that voice holds a most familiar sound.
Whence come you, sir?
Anselmo. Verona is my home, but in Ferrara now
I seek a friend.
Roselo. 'Tis he! Anselmo, mine own fast friend.
Anselmo, At thou Roselo? nay.
Roselo. Alas! in truth I'm he.
Anselmo. Good fortune smiles on me to find
Roselo opportunely here.
Roselo. What news dost bring? What stirs
Within Verona's walls?
Anselmo. News of complexion startling and most strange
This moving world ere knew!
Roselo. How—the Lady Julia weds? is dead?
Anselmo. No. ”

“ Rutilio. Yes; but wise men would hardly care
To follow thus and such great peril share.
Fernando. Enough. I understand.
Rutilio. I know the Castelvines' kin in secret do
Pursue with cunning unto death this Montes youth.
Fernando. A vain enterprise 'twould seem.
Rutilio. In open fight Otavio Castelvin he slew,
Since then he goes so sad of face, I hardly dare
Be jealous of his love, or care.
Fernando. Let the musicians sing.
Rutilio. Hold! Some persons here approach
By yonder street.
Fernando. Strangers in Ferrara, too, methinks. ”

“ Musicians. Let us, then, draw and seek the fray;
Guitars in such a case be out of tune. Away!
Rutilio. And a poor target too; 'tis nought
'Gainst a Toledo blade, as sharp as thought.
Musicians. A good thick wall's the better shield. ”
