Enter Arthur on one side attended, Oswald on the other with Attendants, and Guillamar. They meet and salute.

Arth. Brave Oswald! we have met on friendlier terms,

Companions of a war, with common interest,

Against the bordering Picts: but times are changed.

Osw. And I am sorry that those times are changed,

For else we now might meet on terms as friendly.

Arth. If so we meet not now, the fault's your own;

For you have wronged me much.

Osw. Oh you would tell me,

I called more Saxons in, to enlarge my bounds.
