Tow. Hold, villains! what unmanly odds is this? Courage, whoe'er thou art; I'll succour thee.
[Towerson fights with Perez, and Harman with the Lieutenant, and drive them off the stage.
Har. Jun. Though, brave unknown, night takes thee from my knowledge, and I want time to thank thee now, take this, and wear it for my sake; [Gives him a ring.] Hereafter I'll acknowledge it more largely.
[Exit.
Tow. That voice I've heard; but cannot call to mind, except it be young Harman's. Yet, who should put his life in danger thus? This ring I would not take as salary, but as a gage of his free heart who left it; and, when I know him, I'll restore the pledge. Sure 'twas not far from hence I made the appointment: I know not what this Dutchman's business is, yet, I believe, 'twas somewhat from my rival. It shall go hard, but I will find him out, and then rejoin the company.
[Exit.
Re-enter Harman Junior, and Fiscal.
Fisc. The accident was wondrous strange: Did you neither know your assassinates, nor your deliverer?
Har. Jun. 'Twas all a hurry; yet, upon better recollecting of myself, the man, who freed me, must be Towerson.
Fisc. Hark, I hear the company walking this way; will you withdraw?
Har. Jun. Withdraw, and Isabinda coming!
Fisc. The wood is full of murderers; every tree, methinks, hides one behind it.
