Kotzebue, August von

_Ataliba._ Enough!—Come forwards, Cora!—and you, Alonzo!
_High-Priest._ Ye gods, direct his noble heart!
(_CORA and ALONZO come forwards trembling._)
_Telasco._ (_To Zorai_) Support me, my son,—support me!
(_ATALIBA after a solemn pause, with his right hand strikes the sword
against the ground and breaks it, then with his left presents the
palm-branch to CORA._)
_Ataliba._ Be the law abolished, and Cora released!
(_CORA sinks down in a swoon,—ALONZO throws himself by her—ROLLA springs
up and presses the king wildly to his breast.—The HIGH-PRIEST raises
his hands gratefully towards Heaven—TELASCO supported by ZORAI totters
towards his daughter,—The people shout repeatedly, crying_)
_All._ Long live the Inca!!! (_The Curtain falls._)
