Here is no let or hindrance to thy weapon-
Strike home. I will not fight thee.
Pol. Now, s' Death and Hell!
Am I not--am I not sorely--grievously tempted

For public insult in the streets--before
The eyes of the citizens. I'll follow thee
Like an avenging spirit I'll follow thee
Even unto death. Before those whom thou lovest-
Before all Rome I'll taunt thee, villain,--I'll taunt thee,
Dost hear? with cowardice--thou wilt not fight me?
Thou liest! thou shalt!
(exit.)
Cas. Now this indeed is just!
Most righteous, and most just, avenging Heaven!
