Ambition makes you mad. Stand back, and as he passes, unprotected by his wild associate, here let's attack him. HENRY. You fear to face him. I'll believe my eyes and go alone. By heav'n, 'tis he indeed. HAUFRAY. Now will you believe your eyes? _They conceal themselves--VALENTINE enters, and is attacked by HAUFRAY, who is overthrown, when HENRY aims a blow behind VALENTINE--ORSON suddenly enters, catches HENRY up, and carries him away--HAUFRAY is beaten off by VALENTINE, who follows--ORSON re-enters, signifies that he has thrown HENRY into the river, but not finding VALENTINE where he left him, the wild man picks up the swords of the disarmed adversaries, and runs off, in pursuit of him._ SCENE V.-- _The Encampment and Pavilion of the Green Knight--on one Side a large Oak Tree, on which several Knights in shining Armour, are seen hanging--on the other Side is a Tree, to which a Shield, marked with magical Characters, is suspended, and guarded by a Saracen Priest._ (Phillips.) _The Lady FLORIMONDA discovered embroidering a Scarf--She hears a distant march, looks out in hopes of some Knight's approach--the Green Knight enters, in brilliant armour, preceded by Saracen Warriors--he offers the Lady FLORIMONDA his hand, which she rejects, and shews him these words, embroidered on the scarf_: "Florimonda will wed the Knight, who frees her from Agramant." _He threatens, and strikes the scarf from her hand--she falls on her knees in despair--a trumpet is sounded without--AGRAMANT orders it to be answered--EGLANTINE enters, and offers to fight with him--the Green Knight points to the tree where the other knights are hanging, and disdaining the youthful appearance of EGLANTINE, advises her to avoid the combat--she insists on a trial--they fight--she is overthrown--the Green Knight is about to put her to death, when VALENTINE rushes on, discovers EGLANTINE, and fiercely defies AGRAMANT, who, in derision, bids him try to pull down the shield from the tree--when VALENTINE approaches the shield, the Saracen Priest interposes, and speaks_: PRIEST. Forbear!--this shield protects a prince not nursed by woman. _VALENTINE persists, and encounters the Green Knight, with battle-axe, broad sword, &c.--VALENTINE is worsted--ORSON rushes on, and begs to fight AGRAMANT--VALENTINE recollects the words of the priest, and bids ORSON try to pull away the shield--which he is about to seize, when the priest again says_: Forbear!--this shield protects a prince not nursed by woman.
