SCENE I.
Theald, and a Gentleman belonging to him.Theald.
To me a Dervise? Thro' the furious Camp,
Yet raging at the Perfidy of Selim,
How did he safely pass?
Gentleman.
Sir, he had fallen
A Victim to their Vengeance: but he told them,
His Life was of Importance to the Prince,
That he who struck him stabb'd the Heart of Edward.
This stay'd their Rage; then, after a strict Search,
They let him pass thro' Ranks of glaring Eyes.

I have besides to say, an English Ship
And one from Italy are just arriv'd:
The first brings great Dispatches to Prince Edward;
The other, holy Father, these to you.
