Act the Fifth

Scene I


Enter DION, CLEREMONT, and THRASILINE 1 THRA. Has the King sent for him to death?
DION. Yes; but the King must know ’tis not in his power to war with Heaven.
CLE. We linger time; the King sent for Philaster and the headsman an hour ago.
THRA. Are all his wounds well?	4
DION. All; they were but scratches; but the loss of blood made him faint.
CLE. We dally, gentlemen.
THRA. Away!
DION. We’ll scuffle hard before he perish. Exeunt.	8
