They hang upon her cheek. Doctor, there's warmth;
The blood returns?

IV:4:2 PHY.
But slowly.

IV:4:3 SOL.
Beauteous creature!

In lonely places.

IV:4:13 SOL.
Well, she's magical.
She draws me charm-like to her. Vanish, imp,
And see our chamber still.

[Exit PAGE.]

It is the hour
Alarcos should be here. Ah! happy hour,
That custom only makes more strangely sweet!
His brow has lost its cloud. The bar's removed
To our felicity; time makes amends
To patient sufferers.

[Enter COUNT ALARCOS.]

Hush, my own love, hush!

[SOLISA takes his hand and leads him aside.]

So strange an incident! the fairest lady!
Found in our gardens; it would seem a swoon;
Myself then passing; hither we have brought her;
She is so beautiful, you'll almost
