For her deliuery to this valiant Greeke,
Comes fast vpon: good my brother Troylus

Tell you the Lady what she is to doe,
And hast her to the purpose.

And to his hand when I deliuer her,
Thinke it an altar, and thy brother Troylus
A priest there offring to it his owne heart.

And would, as I shall pitty I could helpe:
Please you walke in my Lords? Exeunt.
