And for my logic, thou shalt witness thyself I am perfect: for now will I prove, that though thou wert whipped for me, yet this whipping was good for thee. I'll hardly believe you my Lord, though Ramus himself should prove it: well, probe. Mark my Problem. Bona virga facit bonum pverum: Bonum est, te esse bonum pverum: Ergo bona vorga, res bona est: And that's this, Ned. A good rod makes a good boy: 'tis good that thou shouldst be a good boy: (ergo) therefore a good rodis good. Nay by’r lady, the better the rod is, it's the worse for him, that's certain: but dost hear me, boy; since he can prove a rod to be so good, let him take't himself next time. In truth, I pity thee, and inwardly I feel the stripes thou barest, and for thy sake, Ned, I'll pile my book the faster; in the mean time, thou shalt not say, but the Prince of Wales will honourably reward thy service: come, brown, kneel down. What, wilt thou knight him, Ned? I will; my father has knighted many a one, that never shed drop of blood for him; but he has often for me. O brave! he looks like the mirror of knighthood already. Clear the presence, Gentlemen, the King is coming. The King? gods me, reach me my book: call my Tutors in: come Browne, I'll confirm thy knighthood afore the King. Here be your Tutors, my Lord, and yonder the King comes. Health to your Majesty. Godamercy Ned; ay, at your book so hard, 'tis well, 'tis well; now Bishop Cranmer, and good doctor Tie, I was going to the gallery, and thought to have had your Scholar with me, but seeing you're so busy, I'll not trouble him, come on Will, come, go you along with me, what make you among the scholars here? I come to learn my quy que quod to keep me from the rod: mar here's one was whipped in pudding time for he has gotten a knighthood about it: look old Harry, does he not look more furious than he was wont. Who Wil, young Browne, Gods Mary mother, his father is a gallant Knight, as any these sooth parts of England holds. He cannot compare with his son tho, if he were right donsal delphebus, or the very knight of the Sun himself, yet this knight shall unhorse him. When was he made a knight Wil. Marry i'th' last action, I can assure you, there was hot service, and some on 'em came so near him, they had like to smelled on't: but when all was done, the poor gentleman was pitifully wounded in the back parts, as may appear by the scar, if his knightship would but untruss there. But who knighted him, William? That did Ned here: and he has earned it too, for I am sure, this two year he has been lashed, for his learning.
