Scene I.
—A Street. —De Vezelay meeting his Squire.De Vezelay.
What of Montargis? Hast thou found his track?
Squire.
'Twas dark ere I had reach'd the spot; but there
I spied him; he was muffled in his cloak
And skulk'd beneath a porch you'll find half way
Betwixt the Celestines and Gate Barbette;
It bears for sign the image of our Lady.
I left Philippe to watch and came to tell.
De Vezelay.
Then there shall he be met with.
Squire.
He is arm'd.
De Vezelay.
Else could I not assail him. Should I fall,
Take thou this token unto her thou knowest,
And say I gladly would have lived to serve her,
Wherein defeated, I as gladly die:
Which ended, to my mother take this purse;
It sums the wealth of Raiz de Vezelay.
