er_ PEREZ _with a Soldier, and overhears them._

_Fisc._ 'Twill now be suddenly, if we have courage in this wild woody
walk, hot with the feast and plenteous bowls, the bridal company are
walking to enjoy the cooling breeze; I spoke to Towerson, as I said I
would, and on some private business of great moment, desired that he
would leave the company, and meet me single here.

_Har. Jan._ Where if he comes, he never shall return But Towerson
stays too long for my revenge; I am in haste to kill him.

_Fisc._ He promised me to have been here ere now; if you think
fitting, I'll go back and bring him.

_Har. Jun._ Murder! I shall be basely murdered; help!

_Enter_ TOWERSON.

_Tow._ Hold, villains! what unmanly odds is this? Courage, whoe'er
