11901019Duke. What's the offence you gaue him?

11911020Stew. I neuer gaue him any, it pleasd the King his master

11921021Very late to strike at me vpon his missconstruction,

11941022When he coniunct and flattering his displeasure

11951023Tript me behinde, being downe, insulted, raild,

11961024And put vpon his such a deale of man, that

11971025That worthied him, got praises of the King,

11981026For him attempting who was selfe subdued,

11991027And in the flechuent of this dread exploit,

12001028Drew on me heere againe.

12011029Kent. None of these roges & cowards but A'Iax is their foole.

12031030Duke. Bring foorth the stockes ho?

12041031You stubborne miscreant knaue, you vnreuerent bragart,

12051032Wee'l teach you.

12061033Kent. I am too olde to learne, call not your stockes for me,

12071034I serue the King, on whose imploiments I was sent to you,

12091035You should do small respect, shew too bold malice

12101036Against the grace and person of my master,

12111037Stopping his Messenger.

12121038Duke. Fetch foorth the stockes; as I haue life and honour,

12131039There shall he sit till noone.

12141040Reg. Till noone, till night my Lord, and all night too.

12151041Kent. Why Madam, if I were your fathers dog you could not

12161042vse me so.

12171043Reg. Sir, being his knaue, I will.

12181044Duke. This is a fellow of the same nature,

12191045Our sister speakes off, come, bring away the stockes.

12201046Glost. Let me beseech your Grace not to do so,

12211047His fault is much, and the good King his Master

1221.11048Will checke him for't; your purposd low correction

1221.21049Is such, as basest and temnest wretches for pilfrings

1221.31050And most common trespasses are punisht with,

12221051The King must take it ill, that hee's so slightly valued

12231052In his Messenger, should haue him thus restrained.

12241053Duke. Ile answer that.

12251054Reg. My sister may receiue it much more worse,

12261055To haue her gentleman abused, assaulted
