It was once known as the Island of Saints, because its inhabitants were ever ready to shed their blood in the lists of martyrdom, which is the highest proof of courage which the Faithful can give; since life being so dear to us, it is a most heroic act for the sake of religion to offer it to the sacrilegious hands of a tyrant that only lives in seeing others die.SCENE II., p. 262.SCENE VIII.SCENE X."CHAPTER IV."CHAPTER V."CHAPTER VI."CHAPTER VII."CHAPTER VIII."CHAPTER IX."CHAPTER X.ACT III., SCENE X.
