Ha, how, come hither Ned, is this true? It is, my Lord, and I hope your highness will confirm my deed. Confirm it, God's holy mother, what shrewd boys are these? Cranmer and Tye, do ye observe the Prince, now by my Crown young Ned thou hast honoured me. I like thy kingly spirit that loves to see Thy friends advanced to types of dignity. Young Knight come hither, what the Prince hath done We here confirm, be still Sir Edward Browne: But hear ye Ned, now you have made him Knight, You must give him some living, or else 'tis nothing. I by my troth, he is now but a Knight under Forma papris, for a Knight without living is no better than an ordinary Gallant. Well, what will ye give him Ned? When I have heard of something that may do him good, I will entreat your Majesty for him, and i'th' mean time from mine own allowance I'll maintain him. 'tis well said: but for your sake Son Edward, we'll provide for him; Cranmer, see presently a Patent drawn, wherein were will confirm to him from our exchequer a Thousand Marks a year. I thank your Majesty. And as I am true Knight, I'll fight and die for ye. Now if your Tutors come to whip ye, you may choose whether you'll untruss byth' order of arms. Well Ned, see ye ply your learning, and let's have no more Knights made in this Action, look to him brown, if he loiter, his Tutors will have you up for't. I hope my Lord, they dare not whip me now. berladie Sir, that's doubtful. If they do, he shall make thee a Lord, and then they dare not. Well Cranmer we'll leave ye, when your pupil has done his task ye set him now, let him come and visit us: on Gentlemen into the Gallery. Heaven keep your Majesty. Gentlemen draw near. God morrow to your Grace. God morrow Tutors at noon, 'tis God even, is it not? We saw not your Grace today. O ye quip me cunningly for my Truantship, that I was not at my Book today, but I have thought of that ye read last night, I assure ye. We doubt it not fair Prince: Lords, Gentlemen give leave. All void the room, there's but Scholars and Fools. I hope your excellence can answer me in that axiom of Philosophy, I propound to ye. I promise ye Tutor, 'tis a Problem to me, for the difference of your author's opinions, makes me differ in mine own: some say, Omne animalest, aut homo, aut bestia, that every living creature is, or man, or beast. Then a woman's a beast, for she's no man. Peace William you'll be expulsed else: And again some Authors affirm, that every beast is four-footed. Then a fool's no beast, for he has but two. Yet again Will. Mum Ned, no words, I'll be as still as a small bagpipe.
