Eld. Bro. For certain,

Either some one, like us, night-foundered here,

Or else some neighbour woodman, or, at worst,

Some roving robber calling to his fellows. 485

Sec. Bro. Heaven keep my sister! Again, again, and near!

Best draw, and stand upon our guard.

Eld. Bro. I'll hallo.

If he be friendly, he comes well: if not,

Defence is a good cause, and Heaven be for us!

Enter the Attendant Spirit, habited like a shepherd.
