Captain. I do, my lord, and mean accordingly. (Exeunt.)
SCENE 3. The Countess’s castle
Enter the Countess and her porter
Countess. Porter, remember what I gave in charge;
And when you have done so, bring the keys to me.
Porter. Madam, I will. (Exit.)
Countess. The plot is laid. If all things fall out right
I shall as famous be by this exploit
As Scythian Tomyris by Cyrus’ death.
Great is the rumour of this dreadful knight,
And his achievements of no less account;
Fain would mine eyes be witness with mine ears,
To give their censure of these rare reports.
Enter Messenger and Talbot
Messenger. Madam,
According as your ladyship desir’d,
By message crav’d, so is Lord Talbot come.
Countess. And he is welcome. What! is this the man?
