A monument should be erected to his memory, as beautiful a cross as could be ordered in Gradewitz, or even in Gnesen. If only he would depart, it only he would depart and leave her in peace. The woman's feelings towards her husband became almost tender. They should taste very, very good.

Opposite to these stand the Provincial DEPUTIES, in a double line, uncovered. All armed. The ARCHBISHOP OF GNESEN, as the primate of the kingdom, is seated next the proscenium; his chaplain behind him, bearing a golden cross. ARCHBISHOP OF GNESEN.

Prince Dmitri, son of Ivan! if the pomp Of this great Diet scare thee, or a sight So noble and majestic chain thy tongue, Thou may'st for this the senate have allowed Choose thee a proxy, wheresoe'er thou list, And do thy mission by another's lips. DEMETRIUS. My lord archbishop, I stand here to claim A kingdom, and the state of royalty.
