Then you are for the King? I bully I. Let's go seek our fellows, and to this gear. Come on then. Men of our needful profession, that deal in such commodities as men's lives, had need to look about 'em 're they traffic: I am to kill Raimond, the Devils cozen german, for he wears the same complexion: but there is a right Devil that hath hired me, that's Count Machvile. Good Table conceal me, here will I wait my watchword: but stay, have I not forgot it (Then) I then is my arm to enter. I hear them coming. Pray take your seats. Not well, prithee retire. Sick, sick at heart. Well wrought poison, O how joy swells me. You see my Lord the poison is boxed up. Health waste upon this Royal company. Knows she we are here? O no my Lord, 'tis to the twins of treason: Machvile, and Raymond. Royal there's something in't. It smells rank o'th' Traitor. Are you i'th' wind on't? Will you leave us? I cannot stay; O I am sick to death. Or I'll ne'er trust poison more. Pray seat yourselves Gentlemen, though your deserts have merit And your worths have deserved nobly; But ingratitude, that should be banished From a PRINCE's breast, is Philip's favourite. Philip Traitor, why not King? I am so. Patience good my Lord; i'll down. It lives too near him: You that have ventured with expense of blood, And danger of your lives, to rivet him Unto his Seat with peace: you that in War He termed his atlases, and pressed with praises Your brawny shoulders; called you his Colossuses, And said your looks frighted tall war Out of his territories: now in peace, The issue of your labour: this bad man, Philip I mean, made of ingratitude, Won't afford a name, that may distinguish Your worthy selves from Cowards: Civet Cats spotted with rat's dung, Or a face like white Broth, strewed o'er with Currants For a stirring Caper, or itching Dance; to Please my Lady Vanity, shall be made A smock Knight. Villain, must our disgrace mount thee? To what tends this? What means Count Machvile? To be your King; fie on this circumstance, My longing will not brook it: say, Will you obey us as your Kings and Queens. My Lord Antonio. Confine yourselves, the King is within hearing; therefore make show of liking Machviles plot: let him Mount high, his fall will be the deeper: my life you shall be safe. Say, are you agreed? If not we'll force you to't: Speak French man, are our forces i'th' City? we monsieur. We acknowledge you our King. King More Traitors. Why then. Ha, from whence this sudden Mischief? Did you not see a hand armed with the fatal Ruin of my life. None paw Signior. Ha, ha, ha; lay hold on those French Soldiers, Away with them. Wast thy plot Machvile? go laughing to thy grave.
