Vittoria has told Constance that Raimond is to die; she then leaves her with the priest Anselmo —

Con. (Endeavouring to rouse herself.) Did she not sayThat some one was to die? Have I not heardSome fearful tale? Who said that there should restBlood on my soul? What blood? I never boreHatred, kind father! unto aught that breathes;Raimond doth know it well. Raimond! High Heaven!It bursts upon me now! and he must die!For my sake – e'en for mine!

Constance, in order to save him by surrendering herself, rushes to the tribunal, where this mock trial is taking place. Their judges sentence both. Constance swoons in the arms of Raimond, and then ensues this piece of unaffecting bewilderment.

Con. (slowly recovering.)There was a voice which call'd me. Am I notA spirit freed from earth? – Have I not pass'dThe bitterness of death?Ans. Oh, haste, away!Con. Yes, Raimond calls me – (There he stands beside her!)He, too, is releasedFrom his cold bandage. We are free at last,And all is well – away![She is led out by Anselmo.
