Scene 10.
Enter Monsieur Heroick with his Sword bloody, and meets his friend Monsieur Amy.
AMy.

What hast thou been doing, that thy sword is bloody?

Heroick.

Fighting.

Amy.

With whom?

Heroick.

I know not.

Amy.

For what did you fight?

Heroick.

For nothing, or at least as bad as nothing; for that I never saw, nor heard of, nor knew where to find.

Amy.

This is a strange quarrel, that you neither know the man, nor the cause, it was a mad quarrel.

Heroick.

You say right; for as for my part I had little reason to fight, I know not what my opposite had: but prithy friend go help him, for he lyes yonder, and I doubt he is deadly wounded, the whilst I will seek a Chirur∣gion to send to him.

Amy.

You had need seek one for your self, for you bleed I see by your shirt.

Heroick.

Yes so I will, but it shall be the Lady that was cause of the wounds, and I will try if her Beauty can heal them.

Exeunt.
