   I am resolved – Flanders shall yet be saved:

   So runs her suit, and that's enough for me!

   There's not another moment to be lost:

   'Tis said Duke Alva in the cabinet

   Is named already as the governor.

   Betimes to-morrow will I see the king

   And ask this office for myself. It is

   The first request I ever made to him,

   And he can scarce refuse. My presence here

   Has long been irksome to him. He will grasp

   This fair pretence my absence to secure.

   And shall I confess to thee, Roderigo?

   My hopes go further. Face to face with him,

   'Tis possible the pleading of a son

   May reinstate him in his father's favor.

   He ne'er hath heard the voice of nature speak;

   Then let me try for once, my Roderigo,

   What power she hath when breathing from my lips.

   Now do I hear my Carlos' voice once more;

   Now are you all yourself again!
