Fisc. He promised me to have been here ere now; if you think fitting, I'll go back and bring him.
Har. Jun. Do so, I'll wait you in this place. [Exit Fisc.
Per. Was ever villany like this of these unknown assassins? Towerson, in vain I saved thy sleeping life if now I let thee lose it, when thou wakest; thou lately hast been bountiful to me, and this way I'll acknowledge it. Yet to disclose their crimes were dangerous. What must I do? This generous Englishman will strait be here, and consultation then perhaps will be too late: I am resolved.—Lieutenant, you have heard, as well as I, the bloody purpose of these men?
Sold. I have, and tremble at the mention of it.
Per. Dare you adventure on an action, as brave as theirs is base?
Sold. Command my life.
Per. No more. Help me despatch that murderer, ere his accomplice comes: the men I know not; but their design is treacherous and bloody.
Sold. And he, they mean to kill, is brave himself, and of a nation I much love.
Per. Come on then. [Both draw. To Har.] Villain, thou diest, thy conscience tells thee why; I need not urge the crime.
[They assault him.
Har. Jun. Murder! I shall be basely murdered; help!
