Come Much, canst lead us where as Scarlet is? Never fear you; follow me, You were resolved to have him poisoned, Or killed, or made away, you cared not how. What devil makes you doubtful now to do't? Why Doncaster? his kindness in our needs. A plague upon his kindness, let him die. I never tempered poison in my life, but I employed it. By th'mass and I lose this, For ever look to lose my company. But will you give it him? That cannot be. The Queen. earl Chester, and Earl Salisbury, If they once see me, I am a dead man: Or did they hear my name, I'll lay my life, They all would hunt me, for my life. What hast thou done to them? Faith, some odd toys, That made me fly the south: but pass we them: Here is the poison: will you give it Robin? Now by this gold I will. Or as I said, for ever I defy your company. Well, he shall die, and in his jollity: And in my head I have a policy To make him die disgraced. O tell it Prior. I will, but not as now: Call the Friar within. we'll seek a place, the woods have many ears, And some methinks are calling for the Friar. The Friar, the Friar? Why, where's this Friar? Here sir. what is your desire? Why Friar, what a murrain dost thou mean? The King calls for thee. For, a mighty stag, (That hath a copper ring about his neck, With letters on it, which he would have read) Hath Scarlet killed. I pray thee go thy way. Master I will, no longer will I stay. Good uncle be more careful of your health, And you sir Doncaster, your wounds are green. Through your great kindness, we are comforted. And Warman, I advise you to more mirth. Shun solitary walks, keep company, Forget your fault: I have forgiven the fault. Good Warman be more blithe, and at this time, A little help my Marian and her maid: shall come to you straight: a little now, We must all strive to do the best we may. On you and her I'll wait, until my dying day. Warman a word, My good Lord Prior and I Are full of grief, to see thy misery. My misery, sir Doncaster? why? I thank God, I never was in better state than now. Why, what a servile slavish mind hast thou? Art thou a man, and canst be such a beast, ass-like to bear the burden of thy wrong? What wrong have I? Is't wrong to be relieved? Relieved sayst thou? Why, shallow witted fool, Dost thou not see Robin's ambitious pride? And how he climes by pitying, and aspires, By humble looks, good deeds, and such fond toys, To be a monarch, reigning over us, As if we were the vassals to his will? I am his vassal, and I will be still.
