Cleon. What a mournful echo makes my father!

By Mars, he stifles go upon his tongue,

And kills the joyful sound; he speaks so low,

That heaven must listen, if it hear his thanks.

Cleom. Yes, I shall go; but how?

Cleor. With Egypt's aid.

Cleon. With his own soul and sword, a thousand strong;

And worth ten Egypts, and their ten thousand gods.

Crat. There's something more in this, than what we guess;

Some secret anguish rolls within his breast,
