LII.
[Ber.]Do stay, at least, till morrow's sun appears.
Æl.
Thou knowest well the Dacian's mighty power;
With them a minute worketh bane for years;
They undo realms within a single hour.
Rouse all thy honour, Bertha; look attoure
Thy bleeding country, which for hasty deed
Calls, for the working of some doughty power,
To spoil its spoilers, make its foemen bleed.
Ber.
Rouse all thy love, false and intriguing wight,
Nor leave thy Bertha thus upon pretence of fight.
