THIRD CITIZEN
Before the days of change, still is it so.
By a divine instinct, men’s minds mistrust
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. |
