The little dogs, and all; Trey, Blanch, and Sweetheart: see, they bark at me. Tom, will throw his head at them: Avaunt you Curs, be thy mouth or black or white: Tooth that poisons if it bite: Mastiff, Greyhound, Mongrill, Grim, Hound or Spaniel, Brach, or Him: Or Bobtaile tied, or Troudle tail, Tom will make him weep and wail, For with throwing thus my head; Dogs leapt the hatch, and all are fled. Do, de, de, de: seize: Come, march to Wakes and Fairs, And Market Towns: poor Tom thy horn is dry, Then let them Anatomize Regan: See what breeds about her heart. Is there any cause in Nature that make these hard-hearts. You sir, I entertain for one of my hundred; only, I do not like the fashion of your garments. You will say they are Persian; but let them be changed. Now good my Lord, lie here, and rest awhile. Make no noise, make no noise, draw the Curtains: so, so, we'll go to Supper i' th' morning. And I'll go to bed at noon. Come hither Friend: Where is the King my Master? Here Sir, but trouble him not, his wits are gone. Good friend, I prithee take him in thy arms; I have o'erheard a plot of death upon him: There is a Litter ready, lay him in't, And drive toward Dover friend, where thou shalt meet Both welcome, and protection. Take up thy Master, If thou shouldst dally half an hour, his life With thine, and all that offer to defend him, Stand in assured loss. Take up, take up, And follow me, that will to some provision Give thee quick conduct. Come, come, away. Post speedily to my Lord your husband, show him this Letter, the Army of France is landed: seek out the Traitor Glouster. Hang him instantly. Pluck out his eyes. Leave him to my displeasure. Edmond, keep you our Sister company: the revenges we are bound to take upon your Traitorous Father, are not fit for your beholding. Advice the Duke where you are going, to a most festiuate preparation: we are bound to the like. Our Posts shall be swift, and intelligent betwixt us. Farewell dear Sister, farewell my Lord of Glouster. How now? Where's the King? My Lord of Glouster hath conveyed him hence Some five or six and thirty of his Knights Hot Questrists after him, met him at gate, Who, with some other of the Lords, dependants, Are gone with him toward Dover; where they boast To have well armed Friends. Get horses for your Mistress. Farewell sweet Lord, and Sister. Edmund farewell: go seek the Traitor Gloster, Opinion him like a Thief, bring him before us: Though well we may not pass upon his life Without the form of justice: yet our power Shall do a curtsy to our wrath, which men May blame, but not control. Who's there? the Traitor? Ingrateful Fox, 'tis he. Bind fast his corky arms. What means your Graces? Good my Friends consider you are my Guests: Do me no foul play, Friend's.
