nown,
Can no way hope to get a noble Name,
But by the treading on his Father's Greatness;
Thou wilt not yield?

[Enter _Arcanes_]

Antinous:

My life, but not the prize
My Sword hath purchas'd.

Arcanes:

The Senate,
My Lord, are here at hand, and all the Souldiers
Begin to throng about them.

Cassilanes:

Now, _Arcanes_, the--

Arcanes:

What, Sir?

Cassilanes:

Trifles will affront us; that
Fine fighting Stripling.

Arcanes:

Let him have the shame on't;
'Please you withdraw on this side.

Cassilanes:

My great heart
Was never quail'd before.

Decius:

My Lord, be confident,
Let not your Father daunt you.

Arcanes:

_Decius_, whither
Must I withdraw?

Decius:

On this side.--See, the Souldiers
Attend your pleasure--courage, Sir; the Senate.

Cassilanes:

Way for the Senate.

[Enter _Porphycio_, _Possenne_, (three Senators) _Gonzalo_, _Gaspero_,
Souldiers]

My good Lords I know not
What tax of arrogance I may incurr,
Should I presume, though courted by your Favours,

Possenne:

My Lord, your wisdom is both known and try'd;

Than your great service to the State deserves.

Porphycio:

Will't please you, Sir?

[Enter _Fernando_ with Souldiers.]

Gonzalo:

What's here, my Lord _Porphycio_?
It must not be.

Porphycio:

My Lord, you are too modest.

Gonzalo:

It is no season to be troublesome,
Else--but I have done: your Lordships are observ'd.

Gaspero:

Is the demandant ready?
244]

Arcanes:

He is ready.

Gaspero:

Produce him then.

Arcanes:

Before this sacred presence,
I, by a general consent, am made
The Souldiers voice, and to your gracious Wisedoms,
Present as chief in Arms, his Countries Champion,
_Cassilanes._

Decius:

Most reverend Lords, you hear the lesser number
Of those who have been Guardians to this Country,
Approve this Champion; I, in all their names,
Who fought for _Candy_, here pr
