Donna Zorada is not in the Castle To welcome his return: till he hath seen her, I think thy courtesy would have small chance Of courteous reception.

Well, be it so: what changes wedlock makes, That Don Romiero should be so possessed! He should have wedded earlier, as I think, Or not so young a bride. For, as they say, Let all things be in right and due proportion. Let not the hart play gambols with the fawn. Plant not a sapling olive by the side Of the broad oak. Link not the bony stag-hound

Truce with thy wisdom, now! see, he is coming.

Not yet return'd! Go, Jerome, to the wood, That is her favorite walk.

Please you, my Lord, I have sent Blas already To search the wood, and now he is return'd.

Hast found her, Blas?
