Marked words are the most distinguishing words of T29: gloster, faukenbridge, skinke, hermit, richard, prince, iohn, porter, henry, brother.

He's ready too, Block Bl. my man, must be her waiting man, Nay will ye go? for god's sake let us go. Is the jest so? nay then let us away. O 'twill allay his heat, make dead his fire. Ye bobbed me first, ye first gave me my hire, But come a gods name, Prince Iohn stays for us. This is the word, ever at spendthriftes feasts, They are gulled themselves, and scoffed at by their guests. Buffild and scoffed, Skinke, Gloster, women, fools, and boys abuse me? I'll be revenged, Revenged, and why good child? Old Faukenbridge hath had a worse basting. I, they have banded from chase to chase; I have been their tennis ball, since I did coort, Come Iohn, take hand with virtuous Isabella, And lets unto the Court like loving friends, Our Kingly brother's birth days festival, Is forthwith to be kept, thither we'll high, And grace with pomp that great solemnity. Whether ye will, I care not where I go: If grief will grace it, i'll adorn the show. Come Madam, we must thither we are bound. I am loath to see the Court, Gloster being from thence, Or kneel to him that gave us this offence. Body of me peace woman. I prithee peace. Go go god ye, go god s speed ye, Whether run you sir knave? R r run ye sir knave? why I r run to my La Lady Fa Faukenbridge, to te te tell her Sk Skinke and Gl Gloster is t taken, and are gg one to the CC Court with L Lord Leyster, and L Lord la la Lancaster. Is Gloster taken? thither will I fly Upon wrath's wings, not quiet till he die. Is Gloster taken? I he is ta taken I wa warrant ye with a widow witness, Then will I to Court, & either set him free, or die the death, Fellow me Faukenbridge, fear not fair Madam: You said you had the Porter in your house, Some of your servants bring him, on my life One hair shall not be taken from his head, Nor he, nor you, nor Gloster injured. Come Mall, and Richard say the word near fear. Madam, we have twenty thousand at our call, The most, young Henry dares, is but to brawl. Pray God it prove so. Fellow Huntingdon: sir Rich. do not fail to send the Porter. Block, bring the Porter of the Fleet to Court. I will sir. The p p Porter of the fl fl Fleet to Court? what p p porter of the fl fl Fleet? What Redcap, run redcap, wilt thou see thy father? My fa father? I that I w wold s see my f father, & there be a p porter in your ho house, its my f far. Fellow me Redcap then. And you were two to twenty b Blocks, i'd f f follow ye s so I would, and r run to the co co court too, and k kneel before the k k King f f for his pa pardon.
