Nay since I am past the tower's liberty, thou partest not so. Clubs clubs, clubs. Murder, murder murder. Down with him. A villain traitor. You cowardly rogues. Who is so bold as dare to draw a sword, So near unto the entrance of the Tower? This ruffian servant to sir Iohn Oldcastle was like to have slain my Lord. Lay hold on him. Stand off if you love your puddings. Help help, help, M. Lieutenant help. Who's that within? some treason in the Tower upon my life, look in, who's that which calls? Without your cloak my lord of Rochester? There, now it works, then let me speed, for now is the fittest time for me to scape away. Why do you look so ghastly and affrighted? Oldcastle that traitor and his man, When you had left me to confer with him, Took, bound, and stripped me, as you see, And left me lying in his inner chamber, And so departed, and I And you! ne'er say that the Lord Cobham's man Did here set upon you like to murder you. And so he did. It was upon his master than he did, That in the brawl the traitor might escape. Where is this Harpoole? Here he was even now. Where can you tell? they are both escaped, Since it so happens that he is escaped, I am glad you are a witness of the same, It might have else been laid unto my charge, That I had been consenting to the fact. Come, search shall be made for him with expedition, the havens laid that he shall not escape, and hue and cry continue through England, to find this damned dangerous heretic. In mine opinion, Scroop hath well advised, Poison will be the only aptest mean, And fittest for our purpose to dispatch him. But yet there may be doubt in their delivery, Harry is wise, therefore Earl of Cambridge, I judge that way not so convenient. What think ye then of this? I am his bedfellow, And unsuspected nightly sleep with him. What if I venture in those silent hours, When sleep hath sealed up all mortal eyes, To murder him in bed? how like ye that? Herein consists no safety for yourself, And you disclosed, what shall become of us? But this day (as ye know) he will aboard, The wind so fair, and set away for France, If as he goes, or entering in the ship, It might be done, than it were excellent, Why any of these, or if you will, I'll cause a present sitting of the Council, Wherein I will pretend some matter of such weight, As needs must have his royal company, And to dispatch him in the Council chamber. Tush, yet I hear not any thing to purpose, I wonder that lord Cobham stays so long, His counsel in this case would much avail us. What shall we rise thus, and determine nothing?
