 THIRD CITIZEN
  Before the days of change, still is it so.
  By a divine instinct, men's minds mistrust
45 Ensuing dangers, as by proof we see
  The water swell before a boist'rous storm.
  But leave it all to God. Whither away?
THIRD CITIZEN
It's always like this in times of change. By some sort of deep instinct, we always know when danger is approaching, just as we know that a storm is coming when the sea swells. But leave it all to God. Where are you all off to?
 SECOND CITIZEN
  Marry, we were sent for to the justices.
SECOND CITIZEN
The court has sent for us.
 THIRD CITIZEN
  And so was I. I'll bear you company.
THIRD CITIZEN
For me, too. I'll go with you.
Exeunt
They all exit.
