’scape. I’ll sit down by thee,
And, when thou wak’st, either get meat to save thee,
Or lose my life i’ th’
purchase; good Gods comfort thee!
[Exit.
Enter below Junius, Decius, Petillius, and Guide.
Guide. You are not far off now, sir.
Jun. Draw the companies
The closest way through the woods; we’ll keep on this
way.
Guide. I will, sir: Half a furlong more you’ll come
Within the sight o’ th’ rock. Keep on the left side,
You’ll
be discover’d else: I’ll lodge your companies
In the wild vines beyond ye.
Dec. Do you mark him?
[Pointing to Petillius.
Jun. Yes, and am sorry for him.
Pet. Junius,
Pray let me speak two words with you.
Jun. Walk afore;
I’ll overtake you straight.
Dec. I will.
[Exit.
Jun. Now, captain?
Pet. You have oft told me, you have loved me, Junius.
Jun. Most sure I told you truth then.
Pet. And that love
Should not deny me any honest thing.
Jun. It shall not.
Pet. Dare you swear it?
I have forgot all passages between us
That have been ill, forgiven too, forgot.
Jun. What would this man have?—By the gods, I do, sir,
So it be fit to grant you.
Pet. ’Tis most honest.
Jun. Why, then I’ll do it.
Pet. Kill me.
Jun. How!
Pet. Pray kill me.
Jun. Kill you?
Pet. Ay, kill me quickly, suddenly;
Now kill me.
Jun. On what reason? You amaze me!
