ee I dare.--No more, follow me not
an inch beyond this place, no not an inch. Adieu. [_Exit_ TOWERSON.

_Har. Jun._ Thou goest to thy grave, or I to mine.
[_Is going after him._

_Enter_ FISCAL.

_Fisc._ Whither so fast, mynheer?

_Har. Jun._ After that English dog, whom I believe you saw.

_Fisc._ Whom, Towerson?

_Har. Jun._ Yes, let me go, I'll have his blood.

_Fisc._ Let me advise you first; you young men are so violently hot.

_Har. Jun._ I say I'll have his blood.

_Fisc._ To have his blood is not amiss, so far I go with you; but take
me with you further for the means: First, what's the injury?

_Har. Jun._ Not to detain you with a tedious story, I love his
mistress, courted her, was slighted; into the heat of this he came; I
offered him the best advantages he could or to himself propose, or to
his nation, would he quit her love.

_Fisc._ So far you are prudent, for she is exceeding rich.

_Har. Jun._ He refused all; then I threatened him with my father's
power.

_Fisc._ That was unwisely done; your father, underhand, may do a
mischief, but it is too gross aboveboard.

_Har. Jun._ At last, nought else prevailing, I defied him to single
duel; this he refused, and I believe it was fear.

_Fisc._ No, no, mistake him not, it is a stout whoreson. You did ill
to press him, it will not sound well in Europe; he being here a public
minister, having no means of 'scaping should he kill you, besides
exposing all his countrymen to a revenge.

_Har. Jun._ That's all one; I'm resolved I will pursue my course, and
fight him.

_Fisc._ Pursue your end, that's to enjoy the woman and her wealth; I
would, like you, have Towerson despatched,--for, as I am a true
Dutchman, I do hate him,--but I would convey him smoothly out of the
world, and without noise; they will say we are ungrateful else in
England, and barbarously cruel; now I could swallow down the _thing_
ingratitude and the _thing_ murder, but the names are odious.

_Har. Jun._ What would you have me do then?

_Fisc._ Let him enjoy his love a little while, it will break no
squares in the long run of a man's life; you shall have enough of her,
and in convenient time.

_Har. Jun._ I cannot bear he should enjoy her first; no, it is
determined; I will kill him bravely.

_Fisc._ Ay, a right young man's bravery, that's folly: Let me alone,
something I'll put in practice, to rid you of this rival ere he
