contending, In lifes last hour, with fainting breath, My thoughts will turn to thee. Preceding thee to Heaven, will death Alone appear to me! Quietness soon departs, for the news comes that the attackingparty have captured Azucena, and are piling up faggots aroundthe stake at which she is to be burnt. Maddened at the approach-ing outrage upon one whom he believes to be his mother, Manricoprepares to rush to her assistance. The air with chorus whichforms the climax to this scene is full of martial fire.

Text Appearing After Image:
SLEZAK AS MANRICO Manrico:Ah! sight of horror! See that pile blazing-Demons of fury round it stand gazing!Madness inspiring, Hate now is raging—Tremble, for vengeance on you shall fall. Oh! mother dearest, though love may claim me,Danger, too, threaten, yet will I save thee;From flames consuming thy form shall snatchd be,Or with thee, mother, I too will fall!
