_Mahomet_ [_speaking out of the Brazen Head_]. Princes of Turkey, and ambassadors Of Amurack to mighty Mahomet, I needs must muse that you, which erst have been The readiest soldiers of the triple world, Are now become so slack in your affairs As, when you should with bloody blade in hand Be hacking helms in thickest of your foes, You stand still loitering in the Turkish soil. What, know you not how that it is decreed By all the gods, and chiefly by myself, That you with triumph should all crownèd be? Make haste, kings, lest when the fates do see How carelessly you do neglect their words, They call a council, and force Mahomet Against his will some other things to set. Send Fabius back to Amurack again, To haste him forwards in his enterprise; And march you on, with all the troops you have, To Naples ward, to conquer Arragon, For if you stay, both you and all your men Must needs be sent down straight to Limbo-den. _Sec. Pr._ Muse not, brave kings, at Mahomet's discourse, For mark what he forth of that mouth doth say, Assure yourselves it needs must happen so. Therefore make haste, go mount you on your steeds, And set upon Alphonsus presently: So shall you reap great honour for your pain, And 'scape the scourge which else the fates ordain. [_All rise up._ _Beli._ Then, proud Alphonsus, look thou to thy crown: Belinus comes, in glittering armour clad, All ready prest[47] for to revenge the wrong Which, not long since, you offer'd unto him; And since we have God Mahound on our side, The victory must needs to us betide. _Cla._ Worthy Belinus, set such threats away, And let us haste as fast as horse can trot To set upon presumptuous Arragon.-- You, Fabius, haste, as Mahound did command, To Amurack with all the speed you may. _Fabi._ With willing mind I hasten on my way. [_Exit._ _Beli._ And thinking long till that we be in fight, Belinus hastes to quail Alphonsus' might. [_Exeunt._ SCENE II.--_Near Naples._ _Alarum awhile. Enter_ CARINUS.
