_Har. Jun._ Resolve me first one question: Did you not draw your sword this night before, To rescue one opprest with odds? _Tow._ Yes, in this very wood: I bear a ring, The badge of gratitude from him I saved. _Har. Jun._ This ring was mine; I should be loth to kill The frank redeemer of my life. _Tow._ I quit that obligation. But we lose time. Come, ravisher! [_They fight again,_ TOW. _closes with_ HARM, _and gets him down; as he is going to kill him, the_ FISC. _gets over him._ _Fisc._ Hold, and let him rise; for if you kill him, At the same instant you die too. _Tow._ Dog, do thy worst, for I would so be killed; I'll carry his soul captive with me into the other world. [_Stabs_ HARMAN. _Har. Jun._ O mercy, mercy, heaven! [_Dies._ _Fisc._ Take this, then; in return. [_As he is going to stab him,_ ISAB. _takes hold of his hand._ _Isab._ Hold, hold; the weak may give some help. |
