[ Scene IV.] The Council-Table.
Enter Col. Wellman, Col. Downright, Dullman, Timorous, and about seven or eight more seat themselves.
Well. You heard Mr. Dunce’s opinion, Gentlemen, concerning Bacon’s coming upon our Invitation. He believes he will come, but I rather think, though he be himself undaunted, yet the persuasions of his two Lieutenant-Generals, Daring and Fearless, may prevent him—Colonel, have you order’d our Men to be in Arms?
Enter a Soldier.
Down. I have, and they’l attend further order on the Sevana.
Sold. May it please your Honours, Bacon is on his way, he comes unattended by any but his Footmen, and Col. Fearless.
Down. Who is this Fellow?
Well. A Spy I sent to watch Bacon’s Motions.
Sold. But there is a Company of Soldiers in Ambush on this side of the Sevana to seize him as he passes by.
Well. That’s by no order of the Council.
