Make fast the doors.\nGive me my corselet. \n\nDEIRDRE.\nLet me brace it on.\nThe helmet, Levarcam. \n\nLEVARCAM.\nWe'll dress our lord\nMost like a royal champion, \n\nDEIRDRE.\nLike a God\nWe'll send him forth to trample all things base. \n\nNAISI.\nOh dear-loved Deirdre, thy advice was good.\nI had been wiser, had I taken it,\nAnd all of us, I dread, had safer been.\nYet thou dost not reproach me. \n\nDEIRDRE.\nNo reproach\nFrom lips of Deirdre shalt thou ever hear.\nAll that my noble lord has done was right,\nWise, and magnanimous. \n\nNAISI.\nI did my best,\nThough that but ill, for honour. \n\nDEIRDRE,\nI, my best,\nThough that but weak and petulant, for love :\nAnd now for love will do whate'er remains. \n\nNAISI.\nArdan, learn for us what they do without. \n\nARDAN.\nThey've summoned fresh battalions. Till these come\nThey siege us at a distance. \n\nNAISI.\nThen, we strike\nBefore their aids come up. Thou'rt ready, dear.\nTo share this venture ? \n\nDEIRDRE.\nReady, if near thee. \n","Type":"Text"}}]
