ACT I

SCENE I

_A Mountainous Country. BATHORY'S Dwelling at the end of the Stage.

Enter LADY SAROLTA and GLYCINE._

_Glycine._ Well then! our round of charity is finished.

Rest, Madam! You breathe quick.

_Sarolta._ What, tired, Glycine?

No delicate court-dame, but a mountaineer By choice no less than birth, I gladly use The good strength Nature gave me.

_Glycine._ That last cottage 5 Is built as if an eagle or a raven Had chosen it for her nest.

_Sarolta._ So many are The sufferings which no human aid can reach, It needs must be a duty doubly sweet To heal the few we can. Well! let us rest. 10

_Glycine._ There? [_Pointing to BATHORY'S dwelling._

_Sarolta._ Here! For on this spot Lord Casimir Took his last leave. On yonder mountain-ridge I lost the misty image which so long Lingered, or seemed at least to linger on it.
