 The Two Noble Kinsmen. 
 1900Fight bravely Cosen, give me thy noble hand.
 1901Arc. Here Palamon: This hand shall never more
 1902Come neare thee with such friendship.
 1903Pal. I commend thee.
 1904Arc. If I fall, curse me, and say I was a coward,
 1905For none but such, dare die in these just Tryalls,
 1906Once more farewell my Cosen,
 1907Pal. Farewell Arcite.   Fight.
 1908Hornes within: they stand.
 1909Arc. Loe Cosen, loe, our Folly has undon us.
 1910Pal. Why?
 1911Arc. This is the Duke, a hunting as I told you,
 1912If we be found, we are wretched, O retire
 1913For honours sake, and safely presently
 1914Into your Bush agen; Sir we shall finde
 1915Too many howres to dye in, gentle Cosen:
 1916If you be seene you perish instantly
 1917For breaking prison, and I, if you reveale me,
 1918For my contempt; Then all the world will scorne us,
 1919And say we had a noble difference,
 1920But base disposers of it.
 1921Pal. No, no, Cosen
 1922I will no more be hidden, nor put off
 1923This great adventure to a second Tryall:
 1924I know your cunning, and I know your cause,
 1925He that faints now, shame take him, put thy selfe
 1926Vpon thy present guard.
 1927Arc. You are not mad?
 1928Pal. Or I will make th' advantage of this howre
 1929Mine owne, and what to come shall threaten me,
 1930I feare lesse then my fortune: know weake Cosen
 1931I love Emilia, and in that ile bury
 1932Thee, and all crosses else.
 1933Arc. Then come, what can come
 1934Thou shalt know Palamon, I dare as well
 1935Die, as discourse, or sleepe: Onely this feares me,
 1936The law will have the honour of our ends.
 1937Have at thy life.
 H2   Pal.
