SIEGE OF VALENCIA.

ELMINA.

Too late!

Hast thou nought else to tell me?

GONZALEZ.

I brought back

From that last field the banner of my sires,
And my own death-wound.

ELMINA.

Thine!


GONZALEZ.

Another hour

Shall hush its throbs for ever. I go hence,
And with me——

ELMINA.

No!—Man could not lift his hands—

—Where hast thou left thy sons?

GONZALEZ.

I have no sons.


ELMINA.

What hast thou said?


GONZALEZ.

That now there lives not one

To wear the glory of mine ancient house,
When I am gone to rest.
