CLOWN. So would my master, had he not run away. [Aside.
SEGASTO. Tremelio's force saved thousands from the foe.
AMADINE. The shepherd's force hath saved thousands mo.
CLOWN. Ay, shipsticks, nothing else. [Aside.
KING. Segasto, cease to accuse the shepherd;
His worthiness deserves a recompense,
All we are bound to do the shepherd good.
Shepherd, whereas
It was my sentence thou should'st die,
So shall my sentence stand, for thou shalt die.
SEGASTO. Thanks to your majesty.
KING. But soft, Segasto, not for this offence.
Long may'st thou live; and when the Sisters shall decree
To cut in twain the twisted thread of life,
Then let him die: for this I set him free,
And for thy valour I will honour thee.
MUCEDORUS. Thanks to your majesty.
KING. Come, daughter, let us now depart
To honour the worthy valour of the shepherd
With our rewards.
[Exeunt.
