My lords, you are appointed for that office;
The due of honour in no point omit.
So farewell, noble Lucius.

Your hand, my lord.

Receive it friendly; but from this time forth
I wear it as your enemy.
CAIUS LUCIUS
Sir, the event
Is yet to name the winner: fare you well.

Leave not the worthy Lucius, good my lords,
Till he have cross’d the Severn. Happiness!

He goes hence frowning: but it honours us
That we have given him cause.

Zal de’ overwinnaar kennen doen. Vaarwel!
