[Aside.] Then now or never is my time to strike.

BREMO.

And when thou strikest, be sure thou hit the head.

MUCEDORUS.

The head?

BREMO.

The very head.

MUCEDORUS.

Then have at thine! [He strikes him down head.]

So, lie there and die, A death no doubt according to desert, or else a worse as thou deservest a worse.

AMADINE.

It glads my heart this tyrant's death to see.

MUCEDORUS.

Now, lady, it remains in you To end the tale you lately had begun, Being interrupted by this wicked wight.

You said you loved a shepherd.

AMADINE.

Aye, so I do, and none but only him, And will do still as long as life shall last.

MUCEDORUS.

But tell me, lady; sith I set you free, What course of life do you intend to take?

AMADINE.

I will disguised wander through the world, Till I have found him out.

MUCEDORUS.

How if you find your shepherd in these woods?

AMADINE.

Ah, none so happy then as Amadine.

[He discloseth himself.]

MUCEDORUS.

In tract of time a man may alter much;

Say, Lady, do you know your shepherd well?

AMADINE.

My Mucedorus! hath he set me free?

MUCEDORUS.

Mucedorus he hath set thee free.

AMADINE.

And lived so long unknown to Amadine!

MUCEDORUS.

Aye that's a question where of you may not be resolved.
