SCENE,--_In the Castle of Alcazar._
DON SEBASTIAN,
KING OF PORTUGAL.
ACT I. SCENE I.
_The scene at Alcazar, representing a market-place under the
Castle._
_Enter_ MULEY-ZEYDAN _and_ BENDUCAR.
_M. Zey._ Now Africa's long wars are at an end,
And our parched earth is drenched in Christian blood;
My conquering brother will have slaves enow,
To pay his cruel vows for victory.--
What hear you of Sebastian, king of Portugal?
_Bend._ He fell among a heap of slaughtered Moors,
Though yet his mangled carcase is not found.
The rival of our threatened empire, Mahomet,
Was hot pursued; and, in the general rout,
Mistook a swelling current for a ford,
And in Mucazar's flood was seen to rise:
Thrice was he seen: At length his courser plunged,
And threw him off; the waves whelmed over him,
And, helpless, in his heavy arms he drowned.
