Lib. It is resolv'd.
But here she is, I must speak fairly for awhile.

And. How doth it succeed now, my darling?
Shall we be great? [be] great alone?

Lib. As great as pride and fulness of revenge
Can swell us. Hark in your ear, madam,
I'll tell you all our plot; but softly, for
Perhaps the jealous walls may echo back
The treason.

[They whisper.

SCENE V.

Enter Plangus with his sword drawn.

Plan. I bore whil[e]st I could; but now 'tis grown
Too great to be contain'd in human breast,
And it shall out, though hoop'd with walls of brass.
Are they at it? I stood once listening
At their entreaty; this time at my own
I'll stand and hearken.

[Steps aside.

And. 'Tis impossible.

Lib. I tell you, no. I'll aggravate the injuries,
And tell him how basely poor it was for
A father to betray his son so.
