Scene I.[3259]

Enter Dion, Cleremont, and Thrasiline.

Thra. Has the King sent for him to death?

Dion. Yes; but the King must know ’t is not in his power to war with Heaven.

Cle. We linger time; the King sent for Philaster and the headsman an hour ago. 5

Thra. Are all his wounds well?

Dion. All; they were but scratches; but the loss of blood made him faint.

Cle. We dally, gentlemen.

Thra. Away! 10

Dion. We’ll scuffle hard before we perish.

Exeunt.
