397Will relish of the pasture, and we must

398Be vile, or disobedient, not his kinesmen

399In blood, unlesse in quality.

400Pal. Nothing truer:

401I thinke the Ecchoes of his shames have dea'ft

402The eares of heav'nly Iustice: widdows cryes

403Descend againe into their throates, and have not: Enter Va-(lerius.

404Due audience of the Gods: Valerius

405Val. The King cals for you; yet be leaden footed

406Till his great rage be off him. Phebus when

407He broke his whipstocke and exclaimd against

408The Horses of the Sun, but whisperd too

409The lowdenesse of his Fury.

410Pal. Small windes shake him,

411But whats the matter?

412Val. Theseus (who where he threates appals,) hath sent

413Deadly defyance to him, and pronounces

414Ruine to Thebs, who is at hand to seale

415The promise of his wrath.

416Arc. Let him approach;

417But that we feare the Gods in him, he brings not

418A jot of terrour to us; Yet what man

419Thirds his owne worth (the case is each of ours)

420When that his actions dregd, with minde assurd

421Tis bad he goes about.

422Pal. Leave that unreasond.

423Our services stand now for Thebs, not Creon,

424Yet to be neutrall to him, were dishonour;

425Rebellious to oppose: therefore we must

426With him stand to the mercy of our Fate,

427Who hath bounded our last minute.

428Arc. So we must;

429Ist sed this warres a foote? or it shall be

430On faile of some condition.

431Val. Tis in motion

432The intelligence of state came in the instant

433With the defier.

C2 Pal.
