But you may make my journey shorter:--Take
This sword; 'twill shew you how:--
_Jul_.I'll gladly set you on your way:--
[_Takes his sword_.
_Enter three of_ RODORICK'S _servants_.
_1 Serv_. Make haste; he's now unarmed, we may with ease
Revenge my master's death.
_Jul_. Now these shall do it.
_Gons_. I'll die by none but you.--
_Hip_. O here, take my sword, sir.
_Amid_. He shall have mine.
[_Both give their swords_ to GONSALVO.
_Enter MANUEL_.
_Man_. Think not of death.
We'll live and conquer.
[_They beat them off_.
_Man_. These fellows, though beat off, will strait return
With more; we must make haste to save ourselves.
_Hip_. 'Tis far to the town,
And, ere you reach it, you will be discovered.
_Gons_. My life's a burden to me, were not Julia's
Concerned; but, as it is, she, being present,
Will be found accessary to his death.
_Man_. See where a vessel lies, not far from shore;
And near at hand a boat belonging to her;
Let's haste aboard, and what with prayers and gifts
Buy our concealment there:--Come, Julia.
_Gons_. Alas, she swoons away upon the body.
_Man_. The night grows on apace; we'll take her in
Our arms, and bear her hence.
[_Exeunt GONSALVO, and the boys, with MANUEL, carrying JULIA_.
