DON MANUEL (to himself). Why stand I thus a preyTo torturing fears! No longer will I bearThe dread suspense---I will know all! DON CAESAR (who returns). Forgive me, I follow thee. DON MANUEL.... Away! Let no man follow. [Exit. DON CAESAR (looking after him in surprise). What means my brother? Speak---- ISABELLA. In wonder lostI gaze; some mystery lurks---- DON CAESAR.

'Tis consecrateTo St. Cecilia; deep in forest shades, Beyond the woody ridge that slowly climbsToward's Etna's towering throne, it seems a refugeOf parted souls!
