_Dru._ They win, they win, they win; oh look, look, look, Sir, For heavens sake look, the _Britains_ fly, the _Britains_ fly. _Victoria._ _Enter_ Swetonius, Soldiers, _and_ Captains. _Swet._ Soft, soft, pursue it soft; excellent Soldiers, Close, my brave fellows, honorable _Romans_: Oh cool thy mettle _Junius_, they are ours, The world cannot redeem 'em: stern _Petillius_, Govern the conquest nobly: soft, good Soldiers. [_Exeunt._ _Enter_ Bonduca, Daughters, _and_ Britains. _Bond._ Shame, whither flie ye, ye unlucky _Britains_? Will ye creep into your mothers wombs again? Back cowards. Hares, fearful Hares, Doves in your angers; leave me? Leave your Queen desolate? her hapless children. _Enter_ Caratach _and_ Hengo. To _Roman_ rape again and fury? _Car._ Flye, ye buzzards, Ye have wings enough, ye fear: get thee gone, woman, [_Loud shout within._ Shame tread upon thy heels; all's lost, all's lost, heark, Heark how the _Romans_ ring our knels. [_Ext. Bond., &c._ _Hen._ Good Uncle, Let me go too. _Car._ No boy, th[y] fortune's mine, I must not leave thee; get behind me; shake not, _Enter_ Petillius, Junius, Decius. I'll breech ye, if ye do boy: Come, brave _Romans_, All is not lost yet. _Jun._ Now I'll thank thee, _Caratach_. [_Fight. Drums._ _Car._ Thou art a Soldier: strike home, home, have at ye. _Pen._ His blows fall like huge sledges on an anvil. _Dec._ I am weary. _Pet._ So am I. _Car._ Send more swords to me. _Jun._ Let's sit and rest. [_Sit down._ _Dru._ What think ye now? _Pen._ O _Drusus_, I have lost mine honor, lost my name, Lost all that was my light: these are true _Romans_, And I a _Britain_ coward, a base Coward; Guide me where nothing is but desolation, That I may never more behold the face Of Man, or Mankind know me: O blind Fortune, Hast thou abus'd me thus? _Dru._ Good Sir, be comforted; It was your wisdom rul'd ye; pray ye go home, Your day is yet to come, when this great fortune Shall be but foil unto it. [_Retreat._ _Pen._ Fool, fool, Coward. [_Exit_ Penyus _and_ Drusus. _Enter_ Swetonius, Demetrius, _Soldiers, Drum and Colours_.
