_Tow._ I should betray my countrymen to suffer, not only worse
indignities than those they have already borne, but, for aught I know, might give them up to general imprisonment, perhaps betray them to a massacre. _Har. Jun._ These are but pitiful and weak excuses; I'll force you to confess you dare not fight; you shall have provocations. _Tow._ I will not stay to take them. Only this before I go; if you are truly gallant, insult not where you have power, but keep your quarrel secret; we may have time and place out of this island: Meanwhile, I go to marry Isabinda, that you shall see I dare.--No more, follow me not an inch beyond this place, no not an inch. Adieu. [_Exit_ TOWERSON. _Har. Jun._ Thou goest to thy grave, or I to mine. [_Is going after him._ _Enter_ FISCAL. _Fisc._ Whither so fast, mynheer? _Har. Jun._ After that English dog, whom I believe you saw. _Fisc._ Whom, Towerson? _Har. Jun._ Yes, let me go, I'll have his blood. _Fisc._ Let me advise you first; you young men are so violently hot. _Har. Jun._ I say I'll have his blood. |
