2528Clo I am a woodland fellow sir, that alwaies loued

2529a great fire, and the master I speak of euer keeps a good

2530fire, but sure he is the Prince of the world, let his No-

2531bilitie remaine in's Court. I am for the house with the

2532narrow gate, which I take to be too little for pompe to

2533enter: some that humble themselues may, but the ma-

2534nie will be too chill and tender, and theyle bee for the

2535flowrie way that leads to the broad gate, and the great

2536fire.

2537Laf Go thy waies, I begin to bee a wearie of thee,

2538and I tell thee so before, because I would not fall out

2539with thee. Go thy wayes, let my horses be wel look'd

2540too, without any trickes.

2541Clo If I put any trickes vpon em sir, they shall bee

2542Iades trickes, which are their owne right by the law of

2543Nature. exit

2544Laf A shrewd knaue and an vnhappie.

2545Lady So a is. My Lord that's gone made himselfe

2546much sport out of him, by his authoritie hee remaines

2547heere, which he thinkes is a pattent for his sawcinesse,

2548and indeede he has no pace, but runnes where he will.

2549Laf I like him well, 'tis not amisse: and I was about

2550to tell you, since I heard of the good Ladies death, and

2551that my Lord your sonne was vpon his returne home. I

2552moued the King my master to speake in the behalfe of

2553my daughter, which in the minoritie of them both, his

2554Maiestie out of a selfe gracious remembrance did first

2555propose, his Highnesse hath promis'd me to doe it, and

2556to stoppe vp the displeasure he hath conceiued against

2557your sonne, there is no fitter matter. How do's your

2558Ladyship like it?

2559La With verie much content my Lord, and I wish

2560it happily effected.

2561Laf His Highnesse comes post from Marcellus of as

2562able bodie as when he number'd thirty, a will be heere

2563to morrow, or I am deceiu'd by him that in such intel-

2564ligence hath seldome fail'd.

2565La Ir reioyces me, that I hope I shall see him ere I

2566die. I haue letters that my sonne will be heere to night:

2567I shall beseech your Lordship to remaine with mee, till

2568they meete together.

2569Laf Madam, I was thinking with what manners I

2570might safely be admitted.

2571Lad You neede but pleade your honourable priui-

2572ledge.

2573Laf Ladie, of that I haue made a bold charter, but

2574I thanke my God, it holds yet.

2576Clo O Madam, yonders my Lord your sonne with

2577a patch of veluet on's face, whether there bee a scar vn-

2578der't or no, the Veluet knowes, but 'tis a goodly patch

2579of Veluet, his left cheeke is a cheeke of two pile and a

2580halfe, but his right cheeke is worne bare.

2581Laf A scarre nobly got,

2582Or a noble scarre, is a good liu'rie of honor,

2583So belike is that.

2584Clo But it is your carbinado'd face.

2585Laf Let vs go see

2586your sonne I pray you, I long to talke

2587With the yong noble souldier.

2588Clowne 'Faith there's a dozen of em, with delicate

2589fine hats, and most courteous feathers, which bow the

2590head, and nod at euerie man.

2595Hel But this exceeding posting day and night,

2596Must wear your spirits low, we cannot helpe it:

2597But since you haue made the daies and nights as one,

2598To weare your gentle limbes in my affayres,

2599Be bold you do so grow in my requitall,

2600As nothing can vnroote you. In happie time,

2602This man may helpe me to his Maiesties eare,

2603If he would spend his power. God saue you sir.

2604Gent And you.

2605Hel Sir, I haue seene you in the Court of France.

2606Gent I haue beene sometimes there.

2607Hel I do presume sir, that you are not falne

2608From the report that goes vpon your goodnesse,

2609And therefore goaded with most sharpe occasions,

2610Which lay nice manners by, I put you to

2611The vse of your owne vertues, for the which

2612I shall continue thankefull.

2613Gent What's your will?

2614Hel That it will please you

2615To giue this poore petition to the King,

2616And ayde me with that store of power you haue

2617To come into his presence.

2618Gen The Kings not heere.

2619Hel Not heere sir?

2620Gen Not indeed,

2621He hence remou'd last night, and with more hast

2622Then is his vse.

2623Wid Lord how we loose our paines.

2624Hel All's well that ends well yet,

2625Though time seeme so aduerse, and meanes vnfit:

2626I do beseech you, whither is he gone?

2627Gent Marrie as I take it to Rossillion

2628Whither I am going.

2629Hel I do beseech you sir,

2630Since you are like to see the King before me,

2631Commend the paper to his gracious hand,

2632Which I presume shall render you no blame,

2633But rather make you thanke your paines for it,

2634I will come after you with what good speede

2635Our meanes will make vs meanes.

2636Gent This Ile do for you.

2637Hel And you shall finde your selfe to be well thankt

2638what e're falles more. We must to horse againe, Go, go,

2639prouide.

2641Par Good M^r Lauatch giue my Lord Lafew this let-

2642ter, I haue ere now sir beene better knowne to you, when

2643I haue held familiaritie with fresher cloathes: but I am

2644now sir muddied in fortunes mood, and smell somewhat

2645strong of her strong displeasure.

2646Clo Truely, Fortunes displeasure is but sluttish if it

2647smell so strongly as thou speak'st of: I will hencefoorth

2648eate no Fish of Fortunes butt'ring. Prethee alow the

2649winde.

2650Par Nay you neede not to stop your nose sir: I spake

2651but by a Metaphor.

2652Clo Indeed sir, if your Metaphor stinke, I will stop

2653my nose, or against any mans Metaphor. Prethe get thee

2654further.
