Enter Talæus.

Tal. Fly, Ramus, fly, if thou wilt save thy life!

Ramus. Tell me, Talæus, wherefore should I fly?

Tal. The Guisians are Hard at thy door, and mean to murder us: Hark, hark, they come! I'll leap out at the window.

Ramus. Sweet Talæus, stay.10

Enter Gonzago and Retes.

Gon. Who goes there?

Retes. 'Tis Talæus, Ramus' bedfellow.

Gon. What art thou?

Tal. I am, as Ramus is, a Christian.
