ALFREDO CHAVERO.

Cortes.	“We are likely to have an uprising,
And not fighting the vile rabble.
For this reason you are, with Marina,
To leave for Orizaba
At dawn.
Gonzalo.	(Aside). And she will remain here, without me!
Cortes.	I expect you at dawn, Gonzalo,
A passport, for leaving the city,
With a veiled lady,
I shall give you.
Gonzalo.	Veiled?
Cortes.	So
Will the passport read: I do not wish
Them to know who it is. You ought
To leave at dawn. Go
To rest yourself.
Gonzalo.	May happy
Dreams be yours. (Aside.) At dawn!
Xochitl ... soon I’ll return for thee.”
