SCENE III. Florence. Before the Duke's Palace. Flourish. Enter the Duke of Florence, Bertram, Parolles4 note, Lords, Officers, Soldiers, and others.

Duke.
The general of our horse thou art; and we,
Great in our hope, lay our best love and credence
Upon thy promising fortune.

Ber.

To th' extreme edge of hazard5 note

And fortune play upon thy prosperous helm,
As thy auspicious mistress!

Ber.

Make me but like my thoughts, and I shall prove
A lover of thy drum, hater of love.
[Exeunt.
