 SEBASTIAN
                                          But one fiend at a time,
110 I'll fight their legions o'er.
SEBASTIAN
I'll fight every one of these devils if I have to, one at a time.
 ANTONIO
                                  I'll be thy second.
ANTONIO
I'll back you up.
Exeunt SEBASTIAN and ANTONIO
SEBASTIAN and ANTONIO exit.
 GONZALO
  All three of them are desperate. Their great guilt,
  Like poison given to work a great time after,
  Now 'gins to bite the spirits. I do beseech you
  That are of suppler joints, follow them swiftly
115 And hinder them from what this ecstasy
  May now provoke them to.
GONZALO
All three of them are crazy with despair. Their guilt is finally starting to gnaw at them, like a slow-acting poison. Those of you who are young and active, I beg you to follow them and keep them from doing the crazy things their guilt might push them to do.
 ADRIAN
                                  Follow, I pray you.
ADRIAN
Follow them, please.
Exeunt omnes
They all exit.
