s, which others catch, and toss and throw them about._ This Way we'll serve them all. PHILIP. We'll cover all our Cabins with their Scalps. WARRIORS. We'll fat our Dogs upon their Brains and Blood. PONTEACH. Ere long we'll have their Governors in Play. PHILIP. And knock their grey-wig'd Scalps about this Way. PONTEACH. The Game is started; Warriors, hunt away, Nor let them find a Place to shun your Hatchets. ALL WARRIORS. We will: We will soon shew you other Scalps. PHILIP. Bring some alive; I long to see them dance In Fire and Flames, it us'd to make them caper. WARRIORS. Such Sport enough you'll have before we've done. [_Exeunt._ PONTEACH.

We took them in their Nest, and spoil'd their Dreams. PHILIP. Oh I could eat their Hearts, and drink their Blood, Were they not Poison, and unfit for Dogs. Here, you Blood-hunter, have you lost your Feeling? You Tygress Bitch! You Breeder up of Serpents! [_Slapping HONNYMAN in the face, and kicking his wife._ PONTEACH. Stop--We must first consult which way to torture. And whether all shall die--We will retire. PHILIP [_going_]. Take care they don't escape. WARRIOR. They're bound secure. [_Exeunt INDIANS; manent PRISONERS._ SCENE IV. MRS. HONNYMAN. Oh, Honnyman, how desperate is our Case! There's not a single Hope of Mercy left: How savage, cruel, bloody did they look! Rage and Revenge appear'd in every Face. H
