ACT V., SCENE I.
Cæsar, Androgeus, Mandubratius, &c. Soldiers.
Cæs. Thus gain we ground; yet still our foes will fight,
Whether they win or lose. With bloody drops
Our path is printed: Thames his maiden cheeks
Blush with vermillion. Nations crave our league
On every side; yet still Cassibelane braves us,
Nor will submit.
And. Not far hence Verulam lies, his chiefest fort:
By nature guarded round with woods and fens,
By art enclosed with a ditch and rampier:
From hence we must dislodge the boar.
Man. There are but two ways to assail this town,
Both which I know. Your parted army must
Break through both at once, and so distract
His doubtful rescues.
Enter Volusenus, with Hulacus prisoner.
Hul. Draw, slaves unwilling; I dare meet my death,
And lead my leader.
