Already preparations have been made
And ere long will this castle be besieged.
Second Countryman:
I hope ’twill not be long ’ere they attack.
Many amongst us will most certainly
Gladly enlist among the fighting-men;
I mean to be among the first myself.
First Countrywoman:
Thou wilt but hurry headlong to thy doom!
How can a man be such a witless fool!
