Thou'lt betraye's anon.

Oh the sweetest face that ever I beheld! I know she is
A Curtezan by her attire: now would I give a hundred
Of the Jewes Crownes that I had such a Concubine.
Well, I have deliver'ed the challenge in such sort,
As meet they will, and fighting dye; brave sport.Exit.

Wretched Ferneze might have veng'd thy death.

And these my teares to blood, that he might live.
