Upon those traitors valiant gentlemen: Let not that beast the multitude confront, With garlic-breath and their confused cries The Majesty of me their awful Duke, Strike their Typhoean body down to fire That dare 'gainst us, their sovereign conspire. Come, come, you shall have your hands full, and you Come where we have to do, stand to it Stilt. stand to't? here's the father and the son will stand, though all the rest fly away. I warrant you Prince, when the battle comes to joining, my son and I will be invisible, and they overcome us, i'll give you leave to say I have no pith in me; upon 'em true Prince upon 'em. I thought 'twou'd come to that; I thought we should bring The false Prince on his knees. What means my Dukedoms hope to turn thus base? arise, and smite thy foes. I see them not my most honoured uncle; pity I beseech These silly people, that offend as babes, Not understanding, how they do offend: And suffer me chief agent in this wrong, To plead their pardons with a peaceful tongue. We scorn pardons, Peace and pity; we'll have a Prince of our own choosing, Prince Ierom. ay, ay, Prince Jerome or nobody; be not obstacle old Duke, let not your own flesh and blood be inherited of your Dukedom, and a stranger displaced in his retority: for and you do, we will take no comparison of you and your army, but fall upon you like temperance and lightning. Upon your peril; gentlemen assail. If any bosom meet the brunt of war, Mine shall be first opposed; these honest men That rise in arms for my young cousin's right Shall be Protected whilst Prince Charles can stand. Why see now what a thing Majesty is; Stilt and the rest of my good people; my cousin) Charles looking but in the face of our excellence Cannot choose but take our part. Nay but trust him not my Lord; take heed of him, Aware your enemies at any hand. Why should you make this intercession For these base abjects, whose presumptuous hearts Have drawn their rebel bodies 'gainst their head: Entreat not for them, they are all but dead. Forbear a little worthy Countrymen. Nay we deny that, wear none of your Countrymen; you are an arrant arrant Alien. True son sincere peregrination, and one that was not borne within our Duke's damnation, and therefore not to be remitted to any substantial degree of office amongst us: that's the fine, that's the confusion of all. But hear me. ay, I, pray hear him; nay I charge you all upon pain of death that you hear my cousin. he Well we will are him: come on, speak, what will ye say? O I beseech you save your lives and goods, For the Duke's squadrons armed with wrath and death, Watch but the signal when to cease on you, That can no more with stand their approved strengths Then sparrows can contend with towering hawks: Or 'gainst the Eagles eyrie: This act of yours by gathering to a head, Is treason capital, and without grace Your lives are forfeit to extremest law.
