Amid. He lies in the last drop of all my blood, And never will come out, but with my soul.
Hip. Come, come, we dally; Would one of us were dead, no matter which! [They fight nearer.
Enter Don MANUEL.
Man. The pretty boys, that serve Gonsalvo, fighting! I come in time to save the life of one.
[HIPPOLITO gets AMIDEO down in closing:
MANUEL takes away their swords.
Hip. For goodness' sake, hinder not my revenge.
Amid. The noble Manuel has saved my life: Heavens, how unjustly have I hated him. [Aside.
Man. What is it, gentle youths, that moves you thus?
I cannot tell what causes you may find;
But, trust me, all the world, in so much sweetness,
Would be to seek where to begin a quarrel:
You seem the little Cupids in the song,
Contending for the honey-bag.
Hip. 'Tis well You're come; you may prevent a greater mischief: Here 'tis Gonsalvo has appointed Roderick—
Man.To fight?
