tius, Lieutenant, Gent._
_1 Gent_. There's the door, Lieutenant, if you dare do any thing.
_Leo_. Here's no man waits.
_1 Gent_. H' as given a charge that none shall,
Nor none shall come within the hearing of him:
Dare ye go forward?
_Lieu_. Let me put on my Skull first.
My head's almost beaten into th' pap of an Apple.
Are there no Guns i'th' door?
_Leo_. The Rogue will do it.
And yet I know he has no Stomach to't.
_Lieu_. What loop-holes are there when I knock for stones,
For those may pepper me? I can perceive none.
_Leo_. How he views the Fortification.
_Lieu_. Farewel Gentlemen,
If I be kill'd--
_Leo_. We'll see thee buried bravely.
_Lieu_. Away, how should I know that then? I'll knock softly.
Pray heaven he speak in a low voice now to comfort me:
I feel I have no heart to't:--Is't well, Gentlemen?
Colonel, my Troop--
_Leo_. A little louder.
_Lieu_. Stay, stay;
Here is a window, I will see, stand wide.
By ---- he's charging of a Gun.
_Leo_. There's no such matter.
There's no body in this room.
_Lieu_. O 'twas a fire-shovel:
Now I'll knock louder; if he say who's there?
As sure he has so much manners, then will I answer him
So finely & demurely; my Troop Colonel-- [knocks louder.
_1 Gent_. Knock louder, Fool, he hears not.
_Lieu_. You fool, do you.
Do and you dare now.
_1 Gent_. I do not undertake it.
_Lieu_. Then hold your peace, and meddle with your own matters.
_Leo_. Now he will knock. [Knocks louder.
_Lieu_. Sir, Sir, will't please you hear Sir?
Your Grace, I'll look again, what's that?
_Leo_. He's there now.
Lord! How he stares! I ne'r yet saw him thus alter'd:
Stand now, and take the Troop.
_Lieu_. Would I were in't,
And a good horse under me: I must knock again,
The Devil's at my fingers ends: he comes now.
Now Colonel, if I live--
_Leo_. The Troop's thine own Boy.
_Enter_ Demetrius, _a Pistol._
_Dem_. What desperate fool, ambitious of his ruine?
_Lieu_. Your Father would desire ye, Sir, to come to dinner.
_Dem_. Thou art no more.
_Lieu_. Now, now, now, now.
_Dem_. Poor Coxcomb:
Why do I aim at thee? [_Exit._
_Leo_. His fear has kill'd him.
_Enter Leucippe with a Bowl._
_2 Gent_. I protest he's almost stiff: bend him and rub him,
Hold his Nose close, you, if you be a woman,
Help us a little: here's a man near perish'd.
_Leu_. Alas alas, I have nothing here about me.
Look to my Bowl; I'
