 3226A great noise within crying, run, save hold: 
 3227Enter in hast a Messenger.
 3228Mess. Hold, Hold, O hold, hold, hold. 
 3229		Enter Pirithous in haste.
 3230Pir. Hold hoa: It is a cursed hast you made
 3231If you have done so quickly: noble Palamon,
 3232The gods will shew their glory in a life.
 3233That thou art yet to leade.
 3234Pal. Can that be,
 3235When Venus I have said is false? How doe things fare?
 3236Pir. Arise great Sir, and give the tydings eare
