Behold it is the privilege of my tongue, My oath and my profession, I protest, Maugure thy strength, youth, place and eminence, Despite thy victor, sword and fire new fortuned, Thy valour and thy heart thou art a traitor. False to thy Gods thy brother and thy Father, Conspicuate 'gainst this high illustrious prince, And from th'extremest upward of thy head, To the descent and dust beneath thy feet, A most toadspotted traitor say thou no This sword, this arm, and my best spirits, As bend to prove upon thy heart whereto I speak thou liest,
