_Lis_. Gentlemen, I am your King. _Strat_. We do acknowledge it. _Lis_. I would I were not: follow all; for this must have a sudden stop. [_Exeunt_ _Enter_ Melant. Diph. _and_ Cal. _on the wall_. _Mel_. If the dull people can believe I am arm'd, Be constant _Diphilus_; now we have time, Either to bring our banisht honours home, Or create new ones in our ends. _Diph_. I fear not; My spirit lies not that way. Courage _Calianax_. _Cal_. Would I had any, you should quickly know it. _Mel_. Speak to the people; thou art eloquent. _Cal_. 'Tis a fine eloquence to come to the gallows; You were born to be my end; the Devil take you. Now must I hang for company; 'tis strange I should be old, and neither wise nor valiant. _Enter_ Lisip. Diag. Cleon, Strat. Guard. _Lisip_. See where he stands as boldly confident, As if he had his full command about him. _Strat_. He looks as if he had the bet[t]er cause; Sir, Under your gracious pardon let me speak it; Though he be mighty-spirited and forward To all great things; to all things of that danger Worse men shake at the telling of; yet certainly I do believe him noble, and this action Rather pull'd on than sought; his mind was ever As worthy as his hand. _Lis_. 'Tis my fear too; Heaven forgive all: summon him Lord _Cleon_. _Cleon_. Ho from the walls there. _Mel_. Worthy _Cleon_, welcome; We could have wisht you here Lord; you are honest. _Cal_. Well, thou art as flattering a knave, though I dare not tell you so. [_Aside_. _Lis_. _Melantius_! _Mel_. Sir. _Lis_. I am sorry that we meet thus; our old love Never requir'd such distance; pray Heaven You have not left your self, and sought this safety More out of fear than honour; you have lost A noble Master, which your faith _Melantius_, Some think might have preserv'd; yet you know best. _Cal_. When time was I was mad; some that dares Fight I hope will pay this Rascal.
