Zakynthus, Cephallenia, and the rest,

Joining their numbers, raise but ten or twelve.

Lyc. And these your prince commands?470

Ab.Such as they be.

Lyc. Tidings come slowly to us here. I pray you

Tell me the latest of your preparations.

The thing must drag: there was some talk awhile

Of coldness ’twixt the chiefs: ’twould be no wonder.

They that combine upon one private grudge

May split upon another.
