'tis true Flewellen. Your Majesty says very true. And it please your Majesty, The Wealchmen there was do good service, In a garden where Leeks did grow. And I think your Majesty will take no scorn, To wear a Leak in your cap upon S. Davies day. No Flewellen, for I am wealch as well as you. All the water in Wye will not wash your wealch Blood out of you, God keep it, and preserve it, To his graces will and pleasure. Thanks good countryman. By Iesus I am your majesties countryman: I care not who know it, so long as your majesty is an honest man. God keep me so. Our Herald go with him, And bring us the number of the scattered French. Call yonder soldier hither. You fellow come to the king. Fellow why dost thou wear that glove in thy hat? And please your majesty, 'tis a rascals that swagard With me the other day: and he hath one of mine, Which if ever I see, I have sworn to strike him. So hath he sworn the like to me. How think you Flewellen, is it lawful he keep his oath? And it please your majesty, 'tis lawful he keep his vow. If he be perjured once, he is as arrant a beggarly knave, As treads upon too black shoes. His enemy may be a gentleman of worth. And if he be as good a gentleman as Lucifer And Belzebub, and the devil himself, 'tis meet he keep his vow. Well sirrah keep your word. Under what Captain servest thou? Under Captain Gower. Captain Gower is a good Captain: And hath good littrature in the wars. Go call him hither. I will my Lord. Captain Flewellen, when Alonson and I was Down together, I took this glove off from his helmet, Here Flewellen, wear it. If any do challenge it, He is a friend of Alonsons', And an enemy to me. Your majesty doth me as great a favour As can be desired in the hearts of his subjects. I would see that man now that should challenge this glove: And it please God of his grace. I would but see him, That is all. Flewellen know'st thou Captain Gower? Captain Gower is my friend. And if it like your majesty, I know him very well. Go call him hither. I will and it shall please your majesty. Fellow Flewellen closely at the heels, The glove he wears, it was the soldiers: It may be there will be harm between them, For I do know Flewellen valiant, And being touched, as hot as gunpowder: And quickly will return an injury. Go see there be no harm between them. Captain Gower, in the name of Iesu, Come to his Majesty, there is more good toward you, Than you can dream off. Do you hear you sir? do you know this glove?
