ACT V. SCENE I.
Enter Alonzo.
Alon.O Pitiful! O Terrible to Sight!
Poor mangled Shade, all cover'd o'er with Wounds,
And so disguis'd with Blood! Who murderd Thee?
Tell thy sad Tale, and Thou shalt be reveng'd.
Ha! Carlos!—Horror! Carlos?—Oh away!
Go to thy Grave, or let me sink to mine.
I cannot bear the Sight.—What Sight?—Where am I?
There's nothing here—If this was Fancy's Work,
She draws a Picture strongly.———

Enter Zanga.
Zan.Ha!—Yo're Pale.
Alon.Is Carlos murder'd?
Zan.I obey'd your Order.
Six Ruffians overtook him on the Road;
He fought as he was wont, and four he slew,
Then sunk beneath an hundred Wounds to Death.
His last Breath blest Alonzo, and desir'd
His Bones might rest near Yours.

Alon.O Zanga! Zanga!———
But I'll not think; for I must act, and thinking
Would ruin me for Action. O the Medley
Of Right and Wrong! the Chaos in my Brain!
He should, and should not dye—You should Obey,
And not Obey.—It is a Day of Darkness,
Of Contradictions, and of many Deaths.
Where's Leonora then? Quick, answer me;
I'm deep in Horrors, I'll be deeper still.———
