FIESCO, MOOR.

Fiesco. (seated at a desk, and writing) Did they not struggle against the word subordination as the worm against the needle which transfixes it? But 'tis too late, republicans.

Moor. (entering) My lord----

Fiesco. (giving him a paper) Invite all those whose names are written here to see a play this evening at my palace.

Moor. Perhaps to act a part, and pay the admittance with their heads.

Fiesco. (in a haughty and contemptuous manner) When that is over I will no longer detain thee here in Genoa. (Going, throws him a purse.) This is thy last employment.

[Exit.
