In the third act of this work, one character asks "Am I the bosom Snake, that sucks thy warm Life-Blood, and gnaws thy heart?" A captain of the guards named Perez escorts various people, one of whom laments the loss of his friend Heli, though they soon meet in prison. Garcia is the noble son of Gonsalez and Leonora is the faithful servant of the main character, a daughter of King Manuel of Granada named Almeria, who is contrasted with the captive queen Zara. This work notably asserts that "heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor Hell a fury like a woman scorned," and its opening line claims that "musick has charms to soothe a savage breast." FTP, name this 1697 work, the lone tragedy of William Congreve.
