'tis now to me Not worth the keeping. I will follow him, Farewel, wish me good fortune, we shall meet Again I doubt not. _Rut_. Or I'le ne're trust _Jew_ more, [_Exit_ Arnoldo. Nor Christian for his sake--plague o' my stars, How long might I have walkt without a Cloak, Before I should have met with such a fortune? We elder Brothers, though we are proper men, _Ha' not the luck_, ha' too much beard, that spoils us; The smooth Chin carries all: what's here to do now? [_Manet_ Rutilio. _Enter_ Duarte, Alonzo, _and a_ Page. _Dua_. I'le take you as I find you. _Alon_. That were base--you see I am unarm'd. _Dua_. Out with your Bodkin Your Pocket-dagger, your Steletto, out with it, Or by this hand I'le kill you: such as you are Have studied the undoing of poor Cutlers, And made all manly weapons out of fashion: You carry Poniards to murder men, Yet dare not wear a sword to guard your Honour. _Rut_. That's true indeed: upon my life this gallant Is brib'd to repeal banisht swords. _Dua_. I'le shew you The difference now between a _Spanish_ Rapier And your pure Pisa. _Alon_.

Thou art not worthy of my foot poor fellow, 'Tis scorn, not pity, makes me give thee life: Kneel down and thank me for't: how, do you stare? _Rut._ I have a sword Sir, you shall find, a good one; This is no stabbing guard. _Dua._ Wert thou thrice arm'd, Thus yet I durst attempt thee. _Rut._ Then have at you, [_Fight._ I scorn to take blows. _Dua._ O I am slain.
