Scene 6.
The Scene discovers a Regiment of Horse drawn-up, and parted in two Lines, through which Drums beating, and Colours, flying, and arm'd at all Points; the Garison, march out, after them thirty cover'd Waggons, fifty Persons on Horseback in Masques, six pieces of Canon and two Mortars: After all the Prince d'Bergue magnificently mounted with his Sword in his band, and Attendance due, to his Quality.—The Dauphin and Luxemburgh at the Head of the Regiment;—As he passes by the Dauphin, he makes three salutes with his Sword.
Prince.
Your Highness may believe 'tis with regret
I now surrender up this dear Lov'd Town;
Had not the Burghers with their Clamours deafen'd me,
I had not thus been forc'd to a Compliance.
Dauph.
My Lord, 'tis known you are too brave a Foe
To merit evil usage: We may pity,
But cannot now in justice help your Fortunes.
Your Souldiers fought like Men inspir'd with Courage;
Who could do less under so brave a General?
Your Conduct in the Siege all Tongues commend,
And pray esteem the Dauphin as your Friend.
[Exeunt Omnes.
