Scene Three
[Before the Palace]
Enter a Company of Soldiers.
First Sold. Brother, good night; to-morrow is the day.
Sec. Sold. It will determine one way; fare you well.
Heard you of nothing strange about the streets?
First Sold. Nothing. What news? 4
Sec. Sold. Belike, 'tis but a rumour. Good night to you.
First Sold. Well, sir, good night.
They meet other Soldiers.
Sec. Sold. Soldiers, have careful watch.
Third Sold. And you. Good night, good night. 8
They place themselves in every corner of the stage.
Fourth Sold. Here we:
[They take their posts.]
And if to-morrow
Our navy thrive, I have an absolute hope
Our landmen will stand up.
Third Sold. 'Tis a brave army,
And full of purpose.
Music of the hautboys is under the stage.
Fourth Sold. Peace! what noise?
First Sold. List, list! 12
Sec. Sold. Hark!
12 S. d. hautboys: wooden double-reed instruments of high pitch
