Porter what Porter where's this drowsy ass? Who calls? my Lord of Gloster all alone? Alone and have your wisdoms company, Pray where's the stammering chatterer your son? He's ever running but he makes small haste, I'll bring his lither legs in better frame, And if he serve me thus another time. Hark sir your clients knock, and't be your pie, Let him vouchsafe to chatter us some news. Tell him we dance attendance in our chamber. This Iohn and Henry are so full of hate, That they will have my head by some device, Gloster hath plotted means for an escape, And if it fadge, why so; if not, then well, The way to heaven is death, this life's a hell. Why should the Watchmen come along with thee? there's such a que question for yond s same r rogue Skink p plague keep far enough from him, that a an honest f fellow ca cannot which w walk the streets. Well sir dispatch your business with the Earl, He's angry at your stay I tell ye that. 'Sblood what a frown this Gloster casts at me, I hope he means to lend me no more cuffs, Such as he paid me at the Parliament. What mutter you, what tidings from my sister? Co commendations and s she hath s sent ye this r ring. Hold there's two Angels, shut the chamber door, You must about some business for me straight; Come nearer man, I fear I am to near, Hast thou no tidings for my liberty? No b but ye sh shall he hear f from her p p presently. And p presently sir off with your coat. Nay quick, uncase, I am bold to borrow it, I'll leave my gown, change is no robbery. Stutterer it's so, near flinch, ye cannot pass, Cry, and by heaven I'll cut thy coward's throat, Quickly cashyre yourself, you see me stay, N n nay, b b but wh wh what m mean ye? To scape I hope, sir with your privilege, How now, who's this, my fine familiar Skinke? Queen Beldame's minion, Zounds you see ti's I Time sorts not now to know these mysteries. How thou camest by this ring, or stolest this coat, They are mine now in possession, for which kindness If I escape I'll get thee Liberty, Or fire the fleet about the Wardens ears, Mum budgit not a word as thou lovest thy life, I mum mum fair, pray God may chance it, My Lord, but that my state is desperate, I'd see your eyes out ear I would be cheated. Walk like an Earl villain some are coming. Where is this Gloster? Y y yonder he walks. Fa fa father, I let me out. Why whether must you now? To je Iericho I th' think, 'tis such a h h humorous Earl. Well sir wilt please you hasten home again.
