Fisc. See this unlikely story!
What enemies had he, who should assault him?
Or is it probable that very man,
Who actually did kill him afterwards,
Should save his life so little time before?
Isab. Base man, thou knowest the reason of his death;
He had committed on my person, sir,
An impious rape; first tied me to that tree,
And there my husband found me, whose revenge
Was such, as heaven and earth will justify.
Har. I know not what heaven will, but earth shall not.
Beam. Her story carries such a face of truth,
Ye cannot but believe it.
Col. The other, a malicious ill-patched lie.
Fisc. Yes, you are proper judges of his crime,
Who, with the rest of your accomplices,
Your countrymen, and Towerson the chief,
Whom we too kindly used, would have surprised
The fort, and made us slaves; that shall be proved,
More soon than you imagine; I found it out
This evening.
Tow. Sure the devil has lent thee all his stock of falsehood, and must be forced hereafter to tell truth.
Beam. Sir, it is impossible you should believe it.
Har. Seize them all.
Col. You cannot be so base.
