Aur. Go you before, and swift I’ll follow.

Now to thy care, my dearest friend, I trust

Thy beauteous sister, and my sweetest love.

Should victory proclaim the day our own,

All will be well; but should the loss be ours,

To heav’n’s just guard I must resign you both.

Two trusty servants have I plac’d without,

Who will conduct you westward of our camp:

If we be beaten, thither we’ll retreat.

Haste! fare thee well, sweet love.
