 The Two Noble Kinsmen. 
 1862Thou wor'st that day the 3. Kings fell, but lighter.
 1863Arc. That was a very good one, and that day
 1864I well remember, you outdid me Cosen,
 1865I never saw such valour: when you chargd
 1866Vpon the left wing of the Enemie,
 1867I spurd hard to come up, and under me
 1868I had a right good horse.
 1869Pal. You had indeede
 1870A bright Bay I remember.
 1871Arc. Yes but all
 1872Was vainely labour'd in me, you outwent me,
 1873Nor could my wishes reach you; yet a little
 1874I did by imitation.
 1875Pal. More by vertue,
 1876You are modest Cosen.
 1877Arc. When I saw you charge first,
 1878Me thought I heard a dreadfull clap of Thunder
 1879Breake from the Troope.
 1880Pal. But still before that flew
 1881The lightning of your valour: Stay a little,
 1882Is not this peece too streight?
 1883Arc. No, no, tis well.
 1884Pal. I would have nothing hurt thee but my Sword,
 1885A bruise would be dishonour.
 1886Arc. Now I am perfect.
 1887Pal. Stand off then.
 1888Arc. Take my Sword, I hold it better.
 1889Pal. I thanke ye: No, keepe it, your life lyes on it,
 1890Here's one, if it but hold, I aske no more,
 1891For all my hopes: My Cause and honour guard me.
 1892Arc. And me my love:* Is there ought else to say?
 They bow se-
verall wayes:
 then advance 
 and stand.
 1893Pal. This onely, and no more: Thou art mine Aunts Son.
 1894And that blood we desire to shed is mutuall,
 1895In me, thine, and in thee, mine: My Sword
 1896Is in my hand, and if thou killst me
 1897The gods, and I forgive thee; If there be
 1898A place prepar'd for those that sleepe in honour,
 1899I wish his wearie soule, that falls may win it:
