Nay then you injure me, stay till he come; he's in a russet cloak And must attend me like a Servingman. Hold there's my sword, and with my sword my heart, Bring him for Godsake, and for thy desert, My brother King and mother Queen shall love thee. Mark me good Prince, yonder away we come, I go afore and Gloster follows me; Let not the Sheriff nor Richard meddle with us, Begin you first, seize Gloster and arrest him; I'll draw and lay about me here and here, Be heedful that your watchmen hurt me not, I'll hang him that doth hurt thee, prithee away, I love thee, but thou kill'st me with delay. Well keep close watch, i'll bring him presently. Away then quickly. Gloster, close master Sheriff, Prince Richard, Gloste radieu. I trust you. By my Knighthood I'll prove true. Revenge, I'll build a Temple to your name; And the first offering shall be Gloster's head, Thy Altars shall be sprinkled with the blood, Whose wanton current his mad humour fed; He was a rymer and a Ridler, A scoffer at my mother, praised my father, I'll fit him now foral, escape and all. Take heed spite burst not in his proper gall. How now, what way took Faukenbridge I wonder? That is not Gloster sure that attends on him. He came not at the sheriffs by the morrow mass, I sought the goldsmiths row and found him not; Sirrah, you're sure he sent not home my chain? Who should send your chain sir? The Prince, Prince Iohn I lent it him to day. What's this they talk? By my truth Sir, and ye lent it him, I think you may go look it: for one of the Drawers of the Salutation told me even now, that he had took up a chamber there till evening, and then he will away to Kent. Body of me, he means to spend my chain, Come Block I'll to him. Hear you Faukenbridge? Why what a knave art thou? yonder's Prince Iohn. Then the Drawer's a knave, he told me Prince Iohn was at the Salutation. Where's Gloster Faukenbridge? Sweet Prince I know not. Come, jest not with me, tell me where he is? I never saw him since the Parliament. Impudent liar, didst thou not even now Say thou wouldst fetch him? hadst thou not my sword? Wert thou a King, I will not bear the lie, Thy sword? no boy, thou seest this sword is mine. My Master a liar? Zounds wert thou a potentate, I scorn to wear thy arms untutred child, I fetch thee Gloster? shameless did I see thee Since as I went this morning to the Siriffes, Thou borrowedst my gold chain? Thy chain? I hope thou wilt not cheat me princocks Iohn. I'll cheat thee of thy life if thou charge me With any chain.
