Enter Count.

Count. Am I turn'd coward, that my tottering knees

Knock as I tread the pavement?—'Tis the place;

Struck from the caverns of the vaulted dead;

Yet now it seem'd as if a host pursued me.

The breath, that makes my words, sounds thunder-like.

Sure 'twas a deep-fetch'd groan.—No;—hark, again!
