With your command, as being a Governour
To the great King in _Lisbon. Enter_ Duarte _and his Page_. _Man_. Here he comes. We are unseen, observe him. _Dua_. Boy. _Page_. My Lord. _Dua_. What saith the _Spanish_ Captain that I struck, To my bold challenge? _Page_. He refus'd to read it. _Dua_. Why didst not leave it there? _Page_. I did my Lord, But to no purpose, for he seems more willing To sit down with the wrongs, than to repair His honour by the sword; he knows too well, That from your Lordship nothing can be got But more blows, and disgraces. _Dua_. He's a wretch, A miserable wretch, and all my fury Is lost upon him; holds the Mask, appointed I'th' honour of _Hippolyta_? |
