_Exit_.

_Tig_.

Come my deare love.

_Spa_.

But you may see another
May alter that againe.

_Tigr_.

Urge it no more;
I have made up a new strong constancie,
Not to be shooke with eyes; I know I have
The passions of a man, but if I meete
With any subject that shall hold my eyes
More firmely then is fit; Ile thinke of thee,
and runne away from it: let that suffice.

_Exeunt_.

_Enter Bacurius, and a servant_.

_Bac_.

Three gentlemen without to speake with me?

_Ser_.

Yes Sir.

_Bac_.

Let them come in.

_Ser_.

They are enterd Sir already.

_Enter Bessus, and Swordmen_.

_Bac_.

Now fellowes, your busines, are these the Gentlemen.

_Bess_.

My Lord I have made bold to bring these Gentlemen my Friends ath'
sword along with me.

_Bac_.

I am afraid youle fight then.

_Bes_.

My good Lord I will not, your Lordship is mistaken,
Feare not Lord.

_Bac_.

Sir I am sorrie fort.

_Bes_.

I can aske no more in honor, Gentlemen you heare my Lord is sorrie.

_Bac_.

Not that I have beaten you, but beaten one that will be beaten:
one whose dull bodie will require launcing: As surfeits doe the
diet, spring and full. Now to your swordmen, what come they for
good Captaine Stock-fish?

_Bes_.

It seemes your Lordship has forgot my name.

_Bac_.

No, nor your nature neither, though they are things fitter I
confesse for anything, then my remembrance, or anie honestmans,
what shall these billets doe, be pilde up in my Wood-yard?

_Bes_.

Your Lordship holds your mirth still, God continue it: but for
these Gentlemen they come.

_Bac_.

To sweare you are a Coward, spare your Booke, I doe beleeve it.

_Bes_.

Your Lordship still drawes wide, they come to vouch under their
valiant hands, I am no Coward.

_Bac_.

That would be a shew indeed worth seeing: sirra be wise and take
money for this motion, travell with it, and where the name of
_Bessus_ has been knowne, or a good Coward stirring, twill yeeld
more then a tilting. This will prove more beneficiall to you, if
you be thriftie, then your Captaineship, and more naturall; Men
of most valiant hands is this true?

_2_.

It is so most renowned,
Tis somewhat strange.

_1_.

Lord, it is strange, yet true; wee have examined from your Lordships
foote there
