SCENE V.

Favonius and Lavinia re-enter.
Favon.
Prevented thus, we try another way,
For noise and violence are not our friends.

Guards without.
Guard.
Stand, sir!—you pass not here!—

Favon.
Nay, then I must!—

Fear not, Lavinia!—follow closely on,
Where I make way, undaunted!

Lavin.
Yes, my hero,
Through life and death I follow, to partake
The fate of him I love!
