Read the play

FIESCO, MOOR, entering in haste.

Moor. Crowds upon crowds!

Fiesco. Throw open wide the gates. Let all that choose enter.

Moor. Republicans! Republicans, indeed! They drag their liberty along, panting, like beasts of burden, beneath the yoke of their magnificent nobility.

Fiesco. Fools! who believe that Fiesco of Lavagna will carry on what Fiesco of Lavagna did not begin. The tumult comes opportunely; but the conspiracy must be my own. They are rushing hither----

Moor. (going out) Halloo! halloo! You are very obligingly battering the house down. (The people rush in; the doors broken down.)
