If I may bee beleeued,

Iohn. This is the strangest Tale that e're I heard

To see what Friends are liuing, who are dead.
Exeunt.
Fal. Ile follow as they say, for Reward. Hee that rewards
me, heauen reward him. If I do grow great again,

cleanly, as a Nobleman should do.
Exit
Scaena Quarta.
The Trumpets sound.

If like a Christian thou had'st truly borne
Betwixt our Armies, true Intelligence
Wor.
