ACT V
Scene I
Enter Brennoralt and Stratheman

⁠Bren. What made thee stop?

⁠Str. ⁠One in's falling sickness
Had a fit which choked the passage; but all is well.
Softly, we are near the place.[Exeunt

Alarum within, and fight; then enter Almerin in his nightgown

⁠Alm. What noise is here to-night? Something on fire?
What, ho!5
Send to the virgin-tower; there is disorder thereabouts.

Enter Soldiers

⁠Sol. All's lost, all's lost!
The enemy's upon the place of arms;
And is by this time master of that and of the tower.

⁠Alm. Thou liest![Strikes him10

Enter Morat

⁠Mor. Save yourself, my lord, and haste unto the camp;
Ruin gets in on every side.

⁠Alm. There's something in it, when this fellow flies.
Villains, my arms! I'll see what devil, reigns.[Exeunt

 

Scene II
Enter Iphigene and Francelia

⁠Iph. Look, the day breaks!

⁠Fran. ⁠You think I'll be so kind
As swear it does not now? Indeed, I will not.

⁠Iph. Will you
Not send me neither your picture, when y'are gone?
That, when my eye is famish'd for a look,5
It may have where to feed,
And to the painted feast invite my heart.

⁠Fran. Here, take this virgin bracelet of my hair,
And if, like other men, thou shalt hereafter
Throw it with negligence10
'Mongst the records of thy weak female conquests;
