Be so.

Bourb. A thousand years have manned the walls

With all their heroes,—the last Cato[237] stands

And tears his bowels, rather than survive

The liberty of that I would enslave.210

And the first Cassar with his triumphs flits

From battlement to battlement.

Phil.‍Then conquer

The walls for which he conquered and be greater!

Bourb. True: so I will, or perish.
