Viriato.

If thou canst no longer fly,

Here, alas, thou hast to die,

Slain by hunger, sword, or fear!

Go I must, for much I dread

All that robs me of my life;

Be it fire or cruel knife

Which would lay me with the dead!

[Exit, and Theogenes enters with two drawn swords, his hands bloody, and as Servio sees him come he flees and goes behind.
