Scena X.
Enter Irato, Audax.Au.
—We have descri'd a Fleet;
And therefore call'd to armes.
Ir.
Submissively
We prostrate our repentance with a sute,
That I and Audax may decide in Duel
Who shall be sacrific'd for both to justice,
And the Surviver may be General.
Pru.
The Fleet which you suspect, is your defence;
Unknown to you I sent it forth to guard
This Island from the dangers you have call'd,
By Tumult, Lust, Debate, and Discontent.
As for your Duel, 'tis a Savadg fury
By us forbid. But you have lately tri'd
A new found Duel, (was it honourable?)
Two upon one. Or was it Captain-like
To kill a friend? In any likely way
Hope would have further'd Audax: but when boldnesse
Growes impudent it turns a foe to Hope.
