About this book

The drama 'Hernani' tells the story of DoƱa Sol, the sun of Madrid, who is loved by Don Carlos, king of Spain, by the old duke, Ruy Gomez, and by Hernani, leader of the revolutionists, upon whose head a price is set. DoƱa Sol loves only Hernani; she receives him secretly at night in the house of her guardian, Ruy Gomez, to whom she is betrothed. She proposes to flee with her lover before the marriage takes place. She declares that she knows not whether he is her demon or her angel, but that she is his slave and will follow him wherever he goes. The king, Don Carlos, who is concealed in a closet, hears this avowal, and appears. At the moment when the two rivals cross their swords, Ruy Gomez enters the room. He recognizes his sovereign, who spares Hermani, saying that he belongs to his suite...

ACTE PREMIER - LE ROI.

SARAGOSSE.
Une chambre Ć  coucher. La nuit. Une lampe sur la table.
SCƈNE PREMIƈRE.
DOƑA JOSEFA DUARTE (vieille, en noir, avec le corps de sa jupe cousu de jais, Ơ la mode d'Isabelle la Catholique); DON CARLOS.
DOƑA JOSEFA (seule). Elle ferme les rideaux cramoisis de la fenĆŖtre et met en ordre quelques fauteuils. On frappe Ć  une petite porte dĆ©robĆ©e Ć  droite. Elle Ć©coute. On frappe un second coup. Serait-ce dĆ©jĆ  lui?
Un nouveau coup. C'est bien Ơ l'escalier DƩrobƩ.
Un quatriĆØme coup. Vite, ouvrons.
Elle ouvre la petite porte masquƩe. Entre don Carlos, le manteau sur le nez et le chapeau sur les yeux. Bonjour, beau cavalier.
Elle l'introduit. Il Ć©carte son manteau et laisse voir un riche costume de velours et de soie, Ć  la mode castillane de 1519. Elle le regarde sous le nez et recule Ć©tonnĆ©e. Quoi, seigneur Hernani, ce n'est pas vous!—Main-forte! Au feu!
DON CARLOS (lui saisissant le bras).
Deux mots de plus, duĆØgne, vous ĆŖtes morte!
Il la regarde fixement. Elle se tait, effrayƩe.
Suis-je chez doƱa Sol? fiancƩe au vieux duc
De PastraƱa, son oncle, un bon seigneur, caduc,
VƩnƩrable et jaloux? dites? La belle adore
Un cavalier sans barbe et sans moustache encore,
Et reƧoit tous les soirs, malgrƩ les envieux,
Le jeune amant sans barbe Ć  la barbe du vieux.
Suis-je bien informƩ?
Elle se tait. Il la secoue par le bras.
Vous répondrez peut-être?
DOƑA JOSEFA.
Vous m'avez dƩfendu de dire deux mots, maƮtre.
DON CARLOS.
Aussi n'en veux-je qu'un.—Oui,—non.—Ta dame est bien
DoƱa Sol de Silva? parle.
DOƑA JOSEFA.
Oui.—Pourquoi?
DON CARLOS.
Pour rien. Le duc, son vieux futur, est absent Ć  cette heure?
DOƑA JOSEFA.
Oui.
DON CARLOS.
Sans doute elle attend son jeune?
DOƑA JOSEFA.
Oui.
DON CARLOS.
Que je meure!
DOƑA JOSEFA.
Oui.
DON CARLOS.
DuĆØgne, c'est ici qu'aura lieu l'entretien?
DOƑA JOSEFA.
Oui.
DON CARLOS.
Cache-moi cƩans.
DOƑA JOSEFA.
Vous!
DON CARLOS.
Moi.
DOƑA JOSEFA.
Pourquoi?
DON CARLOS.
Pour rien.
DOƑA JOSEFA.
Moi! vous cacher!
DON CARLOS.
Ici.
DOƑA JOSEFA.
Jamais!
DON CARLOS (tirant de sa ceinture un poignard et une bourse).
Daignez, madame,
Choisir de cette bourse ou bien de cette lame.
DOƑA JOSEFA (prenant la bourse).
Vous ĆŖtes donc le diable?
DON CARLOS.
Oui, duĆØgne.
DOƑA JOSEFA (ouvrant une armoire Ć©troite dans le mur).
Entrez ici.
DON CARLOS (examinant l'armoire).
Cette boƮte?
DOƑA JOSEFA (la refermant).
Va-t'en, si tu n'en veux pas.
DON CARLOS (rouvrant l'armoire).
Si!
L'examinant encore.
Serait-ce l'écurie où tu mets d'avent...
