Enter Aurelius, Uter, Pascentius, and Flavia.

Aur. You, then, escap’d, disguis’d in man’s attire?

Fla. ’Tis true, I did; but ne’er hath rapier yet

Adorn’d a side less fitting to support it.

Aur. To you, Pascentius, my best thanks are due.

Pas. Nay, nay; ’tis little that to me you owe.

Fla. Indeed, but for his aid, I long, ere this

Had broke my sacred vow, and wedded death.

Uter. Brother, the enemy is near at hand;

Straight let us forth, and range our troops for battle.
