Scene IV Don Fernando, Don Diego, Don Rodrigo, Don Arias, Don Alonzo, and Don Sancho
Don Alonzo. Sire, Chimène comes to demand justice from you.
Don Fernando. Vexatious news and unwelcome duty! Go [Rodrigo]; I do not wish her to see thee. Instead of thanks I must drive thee away; but, before departing, come, let thy King embrace thee!
[Exit Don Rodrigo.]
Don Diego. Chimène pursues him, [yet] she wishes to save him.
Don Fernando. They say that she loves him, and I am going to prove it. Exhibit a more sorrowful countenance [lit. eye].
