Why, I could have told you this before Captain; The body was borne away piece-meal by devout Ladies of Venus' order, for the man died one of Venus' martyrs. And yet I heard since 'twas seen whole ath' other side the downs upon a cowl-staff betwixt two huntsmen, to feed their dogs withal. Which was a miracle Captain. Mischief in this act hath a deep bottom; and requires more time to sound it. But you Sir, it seems, are a Soldier of the newest stamp. Know you what 'tis to forsake your stand? There's one of the bodies in your charge stolen away; how answer you that? See here comes the Governor. STand aside there. Room for a strange Governor. The perfect draft of a most brainless, imperious upstart. O desert! where wert thou, when this wooden dagger was guilded over with the Title of Governor? Peace Masters; hear my Lord. All wisdom be silent; Now speaks Authority. I am come in person to discharge justice. Of his office. The cause you shall know hereafter; and it is this. A villain, whose very sight I abhor; where is he? Let me see him. Is't Lycus you mean my Lord? Go to sirrah you're too malapert; I have heard of your Sentinels escape; look to't. My Lord, this is the Sentinel you speak of. How now Sir? what time a day be't? I can not show you precisely, an't please your Honour. What? shall we have replications? Rejoinders? Such a creature, Fool is, when he bestrides the back of Authority. Sirrah, stand you forth. It is supposed thou hast committed a most inconvenient murder upon the body of Lysander. My good Lord, I have not. Peace varlet; dost chop with me? I say it is imagined thou hast murmured Lysander. How it will be proved I know not. Thou shalt therefore presently be had to execution, as justice in such cases requireth. soldiers take him away: bring forth the Sentinel. Your Lordship will first let my defence be heard. Sirrah; I'll no fending nor proving. For my part I am satisfied, it is so: that's enough for thee. I had ever a Sympathy in my mind against him. Let him be had away. A most excellent apprehension. he's able ye see to judge of a cause at first sight, and hear but two parties. Here's a second Solon. Hear him my Lord; presumptions oftentimes, (Though likely grounded) reach not to the truth. And Truth is oft abused by likelihood. Let him be heard my Lord. Madam, content yourself. I will do justice; I will not hear him. Your late Lord, was my Honourable Predecessor: But your Ladyship must pardon me. In matters of justice I am blind. That's true.
