You have advised us well, it shall be so. Should you set free the Princess might not she Make uproars in the land, and raise the Commons. In the releasement of the Captive King. Well counselled Cornwell, she shall live in bondage. Renown yourself by being kind to her. Secure your state by her imprisonment. we'll have the Queen set free. we'll have her guarded, With stricter keeping and severer charge. Will you be braved by one that's but your equal, Having no more than party government. Or you be scorned by one to you inferior, In general estimation of the land. Set free the Princess, say the king commands. Keep her in thraldom still, and captive bands. we'll not be countermanded. Sir nor we. Before I'll be halfe a king and controlled In any regality, i'll hazard all, I'll be complete or none. Before i'll stand, Thus for a Cipher with my half command, I'll venture all my fortunes, how now pride, Perched on my upperhand. By heaven well spied. 'tis ours by right, and right we will enjoy. Claimest thou pre-eminence, come down proud boy Then let's try masteries, and one conquer all, We climbed at once, and we at once will fall. They that love Peridure divide themselves upon their part. That am I. and I. They that love us on this side. I. And I. Then to the field, to set our sister free. By all my hopes with her i'll captive thee. Trumpets and Drums, triumphant music sing. this day a captive, or a complete king. Sir you have sworn to manage these affairs, Even with your best of judgement. I have provided, you will let me share, Of the Grand-benefit you get by dice, Deceitful Cards, and other cozening games you bring into the Court. O rare, now shall I find out crab, some notable knavery You shall have equal share with Somebody, Provided, you will help to apprehend that Nobody, On whom the guilt shall lie, Of all those cheating tricks I have devised. O the fates, treason against my m. person, but I believe Somb. will pay for't, I'll tickle your long waist for this i'faith, Give me some bales of dice. What are these? Those are called high Fulloms. I'll Fullom you for this. Those low Fulloms. They may chance bring you as high as the Gallows. Those Demi-bars. Great reason you should come to the bar before the gallows. Those bar Sizeaces. A couple of Asses indeed. Those Bristle dice. 'tis like they bristle, for I am sure they'll breed anger Now sir, as you have compassed all the Dice, So I for cards. These for the game at maw, All saving one, are Cut next under that, Lay me the Ace of Hearts, then cut the Cards, O your fellow must needs have it in his first trick. I'll teach you a trick for this i'faith. these for Premero cut upon the sides, As the other on the ends. Mark the end of all this.
