[_Soldiers entering with whooping and shouts._]

WILLIAM bringing up the rear, shouldering a bone._]

you that the day will come, this host shall follow him
alone, ay! and perchance England--

_Crom._ [_To Desborough, who has remained apart,

thine indignation--[_Taking Desborough's arm, kindly._]

_Ire._ As he will never his dinner.
