Drum _within, Alarm, Enter_ Demetrius, _and_ Leontius.
_Dem_. I will not see 'em fall thus, give me way Sir, I shall forget you love me else. _Leo_. Will ye lose all? For me to be forgotten, to be hated, Nay never to have been a man, is nothing, So you, and those we have preserv'd from slaughter Come safely off. _Dem_. I have lost my self. _Leo_. You are cozen'd. _Dem_. And am most miserable. _Leo_. There's no man so, but he that makes himself so. _Dem_. I will goe on. _Leo_. You must not: I shall tell you then, And tell you true, that man's unfit to govern, That cannot guide himself: you lead an Army? That have not so much manly suff'rance left ye, To bear a loss? _Dem_. Charge but once more _Leontius_, My friends and my companions are engag'd all. |
