_Achates_, see King _Priam_ wags his hand,
He is aliue, _Troy_ is not ouercome. _Ach._ Thy mind _Ãneas_ that would haue it so Deludes thy eye sight, _Priamus_ is dead. _Ãn._ Ah _Troy_ is sackt, and _Priamus_ is dead, And why should poore _Ãneas_ be aliue? _Asca._ Sweete father leaue to weepe, this is not he: For were it _Priam_ he would smile on me. _Acha._ _Ãneas_ see here come the Citizens, Leaue to lament lest they laugh at our feares. _Enter Cloanthus, Sergestus, Illioneus._ _Ãn._ Lords of this towne, or whatsoeuer stile Belongs vnto your name, vouchsafe of ruth To tell vs who inhabits this faire towne, What kind of people, and who gouernes them: For we are strangers driuen on this shore, And scarcely know within what Clime we are. _Illio._ I heare _Ãneas_ voyce, but see him not, For none of these can be our Generall. _Acha._ Like _Illioneus_ speakes this Noble man, But _Illioneus_ goes not in such robes. |
