looks on his Sword. _Fear._ --Hah--what have ye done? _Bac._ Secur'd my self from being a publick Spectacle upon the common Theatre of Death. Enter _Daring_ and Soldiers. _Dar._ Victory, Victory! they fly, they fly, where's the victorious General? _Fear._ Here,--taking his last Adieu. _Dar._ Dying!
