Vald EZ rushes into Alvar's arms. Alvar. Turn not thy face that way, my father ! hide. Oh hide it from his eye ! Oh let thy joy Flow in unmingled stream through thy first blessing. 280 \jBoth kneel to Vktjdvl. Valdez. My Son ! My Alvar ! bless, Oh bless him. Heaven ! Teresa. Me too, my Father? Valdez. Bless, Oh bless my children ! \Both rise. Alvar. Delights so full, if unalloyed with grief. Were ominous. In these strange dread events Just Heaven instructs us with an awful voice, That Conscienc...e rules us e'en against our choice. Our inward Monitress to guide or warn. If listened to ; but if repelled with scorn, At length as dire Remorse, she re- appears. Works in our guilty hopes, and selfish fears ! 290 Still bids. Remember ! and still cries. Too late ! And while she scares us, goads us to our fate. ZAPOLYA A CHRISTMAS TALE IN TWO PARTS [1817] Tlap mipl xpr] TOtavTa ^eyeiv x^i/icijvo; ev S)p(t. Apud Athen^um. ADVERTISEMENT The form of the following dramatic poem is in humble imitation of the Winters Tale of Shakspeare, except that I have called the first part a Prelude instead of a first Act, as a somewhat nearer resem- blance to the plan of the ancients, of which one specimen is left us in the ^schylian Trilogy of the Ag-atnejnnon, the Orestes, and the Kumenides.
