SCENE V. -- VICTORIAN'S chambers at Alcala. HYPOLITO asleep in an arm-chair. He awakes slowly.
Hyp. I must have been asleep! ay, sound asleep! / And it was all a dream. O sleep, sweet sleep / Whatever form thou takest, thou art fair, / Holding unto our lips thy goblet filled / Out of Oblivion's well, a healing draught! / The candles have burned low; it must be late. / Where can Victorian be? Like Fray Carrillo, / The only place in which one cannot find him / Is his own cell. Here's his guitar, that seldom / Feels the caresses of its master's hand. / Open thy silent lips, sweet instrument! / And make dull midnight merry with a song.
