page 20 of 170 (11%)
Decius:

Most reverend Lords, you hear the lesser number
Of those who have been Guardians to this Country,
Approve this Champion; I, in all their names,
Who fought for _Candy_, here present before you
The mightiest man in Arms, _Antinous_.
Speak fellow Souldiers.

Souldiers:

_Antinous, Antinous_.

Gaspero:

Stand by all, save the two Competitors.

Possenne:

My Lords, how much your Countrey owes you both,
The due reward of your desertful glories
Must to Posterity remain: but yet
Since, by our Law, one only can make claim
To the proposed honours which you both
(It seems) have truly merited, take leave
Freely to plead your rights; we shall attend ye.
