| 30 |
Katherine his daughter and with her, to dowry,
Some petty and unprofitable dukedoms.
The offer likes not, and the nimble gunner
With linstock now the devilish cannon touches,
|
his daughter, Katherine, with some insignificant, unprofitable dukedoms as her dowry. The offer doesn’t go over well, and the nimble gunner now moves to ignite the devilish canon.
|
Alarum, and chambers go off |
Sounds of battle and gunfire from offstage. |

|
35 |
And down goes all before them. Still be kind
And eke out our performance with your mind.
|
Down goes everything in their path. Indulge us further and supplement our performance with your own imaginings.
|
Exit |
The CHORUS exits. |
