Bring him forth.
Here entereth Snap.[139]
Snap. Give place; let the prisoner come by; give place.
Dionysius. How say you, sir; where is Damon, your trusty friend?
You have play’d a wise part, I make God a vow:
You know what time a day it is; make you ready.
Pithias. Most ready I am, mighty king, and most ready also
For my true friend Damon this life to forego,
Even at your pleasure.
Dionysius. A true friend! a false traitor, that so breaketh his oath!
