MACDONALD.
Safe against shot, and stab and flash! Hard frozen,
Secur'd, and warranted by the black art!
His body is impenetrable, I tell you.

DEVEREUX.
In Inglestadt there was just another—
His whole skin was the same as steel; at last
We were obliged to beat him down with gun-stocks.

Hear what I'll do.

Well?
Well?
MACDONALD.
In the Cloister here
There's a Dominican, my countryman.
I'll make him dip my sword and pike for me
In holy water, and say over them
One of his strongest blessings. That's probatum!
Nothing can stand 'gainst that.

BUTLER.
So do, Macdonald!
But now go and select from out the regiment
Twenty or thirty able-bodied fellows,
And let them take the oaths to the Emperor.
Then when it strikes eleven, when the first rounds
Are pass'd, conduct them, silently as may be,
To th' house—I will myself be not far off.

But how do we get through Hartschier and Gordon
That stand on guard there in the inner chamber?
