Bethink yourself wherein you may have offended him, and at my entreaty, forbear his presence, till some little time hath qualified the heat of his displeasure, which at this instant so rageth in him, that with the mischief, of your parson it would scarce allay. Some villain hath done me wrong. That's my fear brother, I advise you to the best, go armed, I am no honest man if there be any good meaning towards you, I have told you what I have seen & heard, but faintly, nothing like the image and horror of it, pray you away? Shall I hear from you anon? I do serve you in this business: A credulous Father, and a brother noble, Whose nature is so far from doing harms, That he suspects none, on whose foolish honesty My practices ride easy, I see the business, Let me if not by birth, have lands by wit, All with me's meet, that I can fashion fit. Did my Father strike my gentleman for chiding of his fool? Yes Madam. By day and night he wrongs me, Every hour he flashes into one gross crime or other That sets us all at odds, i'll not endure it, His Knights grow riotous, and himself obrayds us, On every trifell when he returns from hunting, I will not speak with him, say I am sick, If you come slack of former services, You shall do well, the fault of it i'll answer. he's coming Madam I hear him. Put on what weary negligence you please, you and your fellow servants, i'd have it come in question, if he dislike it, let him to our sister, whose mind and mine I know in that are one, not to be overruld; idle old man that still would manage those authorities that he hath given away, now by my life old fools are babes again, & must be used with checks as flatteries, when they are seen abused, remember what I tell you. Very well Madam. And let his Knights have colder looks among you, what grows of it no matter, advise your fellows so. I would breed from hence occasions, and I shall, that I may speak, i'll write strait to my sister to hold my very course, go prepare for dinner. If but as well I other accents borrow, that can my speech defuse, my good intent may carry through itself to that full issue for which I razed my likeness, now banished Kent, if thou canst serve where thou dost stand condemned, thy master whom thou lovest shall find the full of labour. Let me not stay a jot for dinner, go get it ready, how now, what art thou? A man Sir. What dost thou profess? what wouldst thou with us? I do profess to be no less than I seem, to serve him truly that will put me in trust, to love him that is honest, to converse with him that is wise, and says little, to fear judgement, to fight when I cannot choose, and to eat no fish.
