There's nothing you won't do for money, but my daughter is beyond any price. Give her back or this hand, though unarmed, will prove a dread weapon indeed. A man will fear nothing on earth when defending his children's honour. Assassins, open that door! He again attacks the door, is dragged away from it by the courtiers, struggles awhile, then gives up, exhausted. Ah! You're all against me! weeping All against me! Then I'll weep. Marullo, my lord, you whose soul is as gentle as your heart, tell me, where have they hidden her? Shes in there isn't she? You don't answer Alas! My lords, forgive me, have pity! Give an old man back his daughter! To give her back can cost you nothing now, but to me my daughter is everything. Lords, forgive me Give me my daughter back, to me my daughter is everything. Lords, forgive me. Gilda suddenly runs from the room on the left and throws herself into her father's arms.
