ascend the Skies, since Honour tells me 'tis an impious Zeal. _Which way soever my Devotions move, I am too wretched to be heard above._ [Goes in. [All exeunt. SCENE II. _Shows a Field of Tents, seen at some distance through the Trees of a Wood, Drums, Trumpets and the noise of Battel, with hollowing. The _Indians_ are seen with Battel-Axes to retreat fighting from the _English_, and all go off; when they re-enter immediately beating back the _English_, the _Indian King_ at the head of his Men, with Bows and Arrows; _Daring_ being at the head of the _English_: They fight off; the Noise continues less loud as more at distance._ Enter _Bacon_ with his Sword drawn, meets _Fearless_ with his Sword drawn. _Fear._ Haste, haste, Sir, to the Entrance of the Wood, _Daring's_ engaged past hope of a Retreat, venturing too far, pursuing of the Foe; the King in Ambush, with his poison'd Archers, fell on, and now we are dangerously distrest. _Bac._ _Daring_ is brave, but he's withal too rash, come on and follow me to his Assistance-- [Go out. [A hollowing within, the Fight renews; enter the _Indians_ beaten back by _Bacon_, _Daring_ and _Fearless_; they fight off; the noise of Fighting continues a while, this still behind the Wood. Enter _Indians_ flying over the Stage, pursued by the _King_. _King._ Turn, turn, ye fugitive Slaves, and face the Enemy; Oh Villains, Cowards, deaf to all Command: by Heaven, I had my Rival in my view, and aim'd at nothing but my conquering him--now like a Coward I must fly with Cowards, or like a desperate Madman fall, thus singly, midst the numbers. [Follows the _Indians_. Enter _Bacon_ inraged with his Sword drawn, _Fearless_ and _Daring_ following him. _Bac._ --Where is the King, oh ye perfidious Slaves? how, have you hid him from my just Revenge?--search all the Brakes, the Furzes and the Trees, and let him not escape on pain of Death. _Dar._ We cannot do wonders, Sir. _Bac._ But you can run away.-- _Dar._ Yes, when we see occasion--yet--shou'd any but my General tell me so--by Heaven, he should find I were no starter. _Bac._ Forgive me, I'm mad--the King's escaped, hid like a trembling Slave in some close Ditch, where he will sooner starve than fight it out. Re-enter _Indians_ running over the Stage, pursued by the _King_, who shoots them as they fly; some few follow him. _King._ All's lost--the Day
