There. An't please your Majesty, there's the knife. What knife: The Sword is eaten. Away you Fool▪ the King is serious, And cannot now admit your vanities. Vanities, I am no honest man if my enemies have not brought it to this, what, do you think I lie? No, no, 'tis well Bessus, 'tis very well, I am glad on't. If your enemies brought it to that, your enemies are cutlers, Come, leave the King. No, let him stay Mardonius, let him stay, I have occasions with him very weighty, And I can spare you now. Sir. Why I can spare you now. Mardonius give way to the state affairs Indeed you are fitter for his present purpose. Bessus I should employ thee; wilt thou do't Do for you, by this air I will do any thing without exception, be it a good, bad, or indifferent thing. Do not swear. By this light but I will, Any thing whatsoever. But I shall name a thing Thy conscience will not suffer thee to do. I would fain hear that thing. Why I would have thee get my Sister for me: Thou understands me in a wicked manner. O you would have about with her? I'll do't, I'll do't i'faith. Wilt thou, dost make no more an't? More, no, why is there any thing else, if there be tell me, it shall be done. Hast thou no greater sense of such a sin? Thou art too wicked for my company Though I have hell within me, and mayst yet Corrupt me further: pray thee answer me How do I show to thee after this motion? Why your Majesty looks as well in my opinion as ever you did since you were borne: But thou appearest to me after thy grant The ugliest, loathed, detestable thing That I have ever met with. Thou hast eyes Like flames of Sulphur, which methinks do dart Infection on me, and thou hast a mouth Enough to take me in, where there do stand four rows of Iron teeth. I feel no such thing, but 'tis no matter how I look, I'll do your business as well as they that look better, and when this is dispatched, if you have a mind to your Mother tell me, and you shall see I'll set it hard: My Mother, Heaven forgive me to hear this, I am inspired with horror: I hate thee Worse than my sin, which if I could come by, Should suffer death eternal, near to rise In any breast again. Know I will die Languishing mad, as I resolve I shall, Ere I will deal by such an Instrument: Thou art too sinful to employ in this; Out of the world, away. What do you mean Sir? Hung round with curses, take thy fearful flight into the deserts, where 'mongst all the monsters, If thou findst one so beastly as thyself, Thou shalt be held as innocent. Good Sir.
