Gov. Nay, Selim, stay, for since we have thee here, We will not let thee part so suddenly; Besides, if we should let thee go, all's one, For with thy galleys could'st thou not get hence, Without fresh men to rig and furnish them.
Caly. Tush, Governor, take thou no care for that, My men are all aboard. And do attend my coming there by this.
Gov. Why, heard'st thou not the trumpet sound a charge?
Caly. Yes, what of that?110
Gov. Why then the house was fired, Blown up, and all thy soldiers massacred.
Caly. O monstrous treason!
Gov. A Jew's courtesy: For he that did by treason work our fall, By treason hath delivered thee to us: Know, therefore, till thy father hath made good The ruins done to Malta and to us, Thou canst not part: for Malta shall be freed, Or Selim ne'er return to Ottoman.120
Caly. Nay, rather, Christians, let me go to Turkey, In person there to mediate [161] your peace; To keep me here will not advantage you.
Gov. Content thee, Calymath, here thou must stay, And live in Malta prisoner; for come all [162] the world To rescue thee, so will we guard us now, As sooner shall they drink the ocean dry Than conquer Malta, or endanger us. So march away, and let due praise be given Neither to fate nor fortune, but to Heaven. [Exeunt.
