III:3:13 2ND BRAVO.
All the steel
Of Calatrava's knights shall not protect it.

III:3:14 3RD BRAVO.
And all the knights to boot.

III:3:15 4TH BRAVO.
A river business.

III:3:16 ORAN.
The safest sepulchre.

III:3:17 4TH BRAVO.
A burial ground
Of which we are the priests, and take our fees;
I never cross a stream, but I do feel
A sense of property.

III:3:18 ORAN.
You know the signal:
And when I boast I've friends, they may appear
To prove I am no braggart.

III:3:19 1ST BRAVO.
To our posts
It shall be cleanly done, and brief.

III:3:20 2ND BRAVO.
No oaths,
No swagger.

III:3:21 3RD BRAVO.
Not a word; but all as pleasant
As we were nobles like himself.

III:3:22 4TH BRAVO.
'Tis true, sir;
You deal with gentlemen.

[Exeunt BRAVOs.]

[Enter COUNT ALARCOS.]

III:3:23 ALAR.
The moon's a sluggard,
I think, to-night. How now, the Moor that dodged
My steps at vespers. Hem! I like not this.
Friends beneath cloaks; they're wanted. Save you, sir?

III:3:24 ORAN.
And you, sir?

III:3:25 ALAR.
Not the first time we have met,
Or I've no eye for lurkers.

III:3:26 ORAN.
I have tasted
Our common heritage, the air, to-day;
And if the selfsame beam warmed both our bloods,
What then?

III:3:27 ALAR.
Why nothing; but the sun has set,
And honest men should seek their hearths.

III:3:28 ORAN.
I wait
My friends.

[The BRAVOs rush in, and assault COUNT ALARCOS, who,
dropping his Cloak, shows his Sword already drawn, and keeps them at bay.]

So, so! who plays with princes' blood?
No sport for varlets. Thus and thus, I'll teach ye
To know your station.
