Chapter 25

and DON SANCHO.

_Don Alonzo._ Sire, Chimène comes to demand justice from you.

_Don Fernando._ Vexatious news and unwelcome duty! Go [Rodrigo]; I do not wish her to see thee. Instead of thanks I must drive thee away; but, before departing, come, let thy King embrace thee!

[_Exit Don Rodrigo._]

_Don Diego._ Chimène pursues him, [yet] she wishes to save him.

_Don Fernando._ They say that she loves him, and I am going to prove it. Exhibit a more sorrowful countenance [_lit._ eye].
