See, see, Lucina hates me like a toad, Because that, when Erastus spake my name, Her love Ferdinando died at the same: So dreadful is our name to cowardice. On the other side, Perseda takes it unkindly That, ere he went, I brought not bound unto her Erastus, that faint-hearted runaway. Alas! how could I? for his man no sooner Inform'd him that I sought him up and down. But he was gone in twinkling of an eye. But I will after my delicious love; For well I wot, though she dissemble thus, And cloak affection with her modesty, With love of me her thoughts are overgone, More than was Phillis with her Demophon. [_Exit._ _Enter_ PHILIPPO, _the_ PRINCE OF CYPRUS, _with_ _other Soldiers_. PHILIPPO. Brave Prince of Cyprus, and our son-in-law, Now there is little time to stand and talk; The Turks have pass'd our gallies, and are landed: You with some men-at-arms shall take the tower; I with the rest will down into the strand:[411] If we be beaten back, we'll come to you; And here, in spite of damned Turks, we'll gain A glorious death or famous victory. CYPRUS. About it, then. [_Exeunt._ _Enter_ BRUSOR _and his Soldiers_. BRUSOR. Drum, sound a parley to the citizens. [_The_ PRINCE OF CYPRUS _on the walls_. CYPRUS. What parley craves the Turkish at our hands? BRUSOR. We come with mighty Soliman's command, Monarch and mighty emperor of the world, From east to west, from south to septentrion. If you resist, expect what war affords-- Mischief, murder, blood, and extremity. What, wilt thou yield, and try our clemency? Say, ay or no; for we are peremptory. CYPRUS. Your lord usurps in all that he possesseth: And that great God, which we do truly worship, Shall strengthen us against your insolence. BRUSOR. Now, if you plead for mercy, 'tis too late. Come, fellow-soldiers, let us to the breach, That's made already on the other side. [_Exeunt to the battle._ PHILIPPO _and_ CYPRUS _are both slain_. _Enter_ BRUSOR _with Soldiers, having_ GUELPIO _and_ JULIO, _and_ BASILISCO, _with_ PERSEDA _and_ LUCINA, _prisoners_. BRUSOR.
