Lope de Vega

“ As Dorotea's husband, he's a man of truth.
Teobaldo. If peace by heaven thus shall be ordain'd,
Roselo take her as thy wife.
Enter Julia.
Julia. No, not so; wouldst thou, traitor,
Wed two wives?
Dorotea. Julia!
Teobaldo.⁠'Tis she!
Julia. Let none depart.
Count. Julia, fair lady.
Julia. Father, behold thy erring child;
I live to love thee as of yore.
Teobaldo. What would you, Julia?
Count. Tell me, sweet wife!
Julia. Thy wife, Sir Count! I am Roselo's,
His alone.
Count. I care not then to know thee.
Julia. Thou seest I am alive.
Antonio. Art thou alive in body or in spirit. ”

“ Forgive my husband, and in peace remain
For my poor sake; oh! seek not to destroy
The heart I love, or at each coming night
I'll hover o'er thy couch with torment, till the light
Compels me to be gone. ”

“ Belardo, too, having no eyes to see,
Such servants of our house no more
Should hold the charge of this estate.
Belardo. Had I suspected this accursed foe,
No other hand had made his life blood flow.
Teobaldo. Consider we anon what death he dies;
Shall he be tied both hand and foot
To yonder tree, and each an arrow shoot?
Or will you slay him with thy sword or gun?
Speak, Antonio, and let the deed be done!
Antonio. Listen, Paris, Teobaldo, listen all.
Teobaldo. What death?
Antonio. He must not die; Roselo Montes is to live;
Julia in spirit now did speak
From just above this roof ”
