George complete text

George. But when we saw our sunshine made thy spring,	2.2.163
And that thy summer bred us no increase,	2.2.164
We set the axe to thy usurping root;	2.2.165
And though the edge hath something hit ourselves,	2.2.166
Yet, know thou, since we have begun to strike,	2.2.167
We'll never leave till we have hewn thee down,	2.2.168
Or bathed thy growing with our heated bloods.	2.2.169

George. Our hap is loss, our hope but sad despair;	2.3.10
Our ranks are broke, and ruin follows us:	2.3.11
What counsel give you? whither shall we fly?	2.3.12

George. Yet let us all together to our troops,	2.3.50
And give them leave to fly that will not stay;	2.3.51
And call them pillars that will stand to us;	2.3.52
And, if we thrive, promise them such rewards	2.3.53
As victors wear at the Olympian games:	2.3.54
This may plant courage in their quailing breasts;	2.3.55
For yet is hope of life and victory.	2.3.56
Forslow no longer, make we hence amain.	2.3.57
Exeunt
