Or any of my brothers of the state,
Cannot but feel this wrong, as ’twere their own.
For if such actions may have passage free,
Bond-slaves, and pagans, shall our statesmen be.

Exeunt.

Scene III IT
A Council Chamber.

Enter Duke and Senators, set at a table with lights and Attendants.

DUKE

There is no composition in these news,
That gives them credit.

FIRST SENATOR
Indeed they are disproportion’d;
My letters say, a hundred and seven galleys.

DUKE
And mine a hundred and forty.

SECOND SENATOR

And mine two hundred:
But though they jump not on a just account, [5]
(As in these cases, where they aim reports,
’Tis oft with difference), yet do they all confirm
A Turkish fleet, and bearing up to Cyprus.

DUKE

Nay, it is possible enough to judgement:
I do not so secure me to the error, [10]
But the main articles I do approve
In fearful sense.

SAILOR
