ARTHUR.  The wall is high, and yet will I leap down.  Good ground, be pitiful and hurt me not!  There's few or none do know me; if they did,  This ship-boy's semblance hath disguis'd me quite.  I am afraid; and yet I'll venture it.  If I get down and do not break my limbs,  I'll find a thousand shifts to get away.  As good to die and go, as die and stay.         [Leaps down]  O me! my uncle's spirit is in these stones.  Heaven take my soul, and England keep my bones!  [Dies].
