ALFREDO CHAVERO.

Cortes.	“To counteract the plotting
Marina.	And, thus, you abandon me?
And thus you crown my loyalty and love?
Oh monster! Impious father!
And thy son, Cortes? My son?
No, the very panther
Does not abandon its little ones: that beast,
More human heart
Has, than the grand Christian conqueror.
Cortes.	We must needs separate.
And no power, you know it well,
Can bend my fixed purpose.”
