Scen. 2.

Trumpets and Kettle-drums sounding, with other Martial Musick usually observed in that Countrey.
Enter Duke Eugenio, Officers and Souldiers; with Colours display'd.
Duke.
Thus far on our address: may prosperous gales
Breath on our Sails: Sails on our just designs
In vindicating of our Countreys fame
Too long impair'd by suffring injuries;
Till which redrest our Honour lies at stake
And we made Aliens to our own estate.
March on then bravely that it may appear
“Our Courage can revenge as well as hear.

They march over the Stage with Trumpets, Fifes, Drums and Colours.
Manentibus Civibus.
1. Cit.

This gallant resolve of the Duke pursu'd with
such alacrity can never be sufficiently admir'd; and to ingage
his Person too in so perillous adventure—


2. Cit.

And all this in vindication of the Merchants
honour and their Interest.


1. Cit.
Trust me, he appears bravely.

2. Cit.
His disposition from his youth foretold
What's manhood would assay—whence comes this noise?

Enter Boy.
Boy.

Room for our Bravo's, Cadets; they march along in
ranks and fyles. Their pockets grow shallow, the Taverns
and Ordinaries, they vow to be Infidels, so as they have
inlisted themselves Souldiers of fortune.


1. Cit.

These be those Trapanners, whom the Duke has
proscribed, or I mistake it.

Let us observe their posture.
