1[3.6]
6.121981983Enter a scrivener with a paper in his hand.
6.221991984Scrivener This is the indictment of the good Lord Hastings,
6.322001985Which in a set hand fairly is engrossed
6.422011986That it may be this day read over in Paul's,
6.522021987And mark how well the sequel hangs together:
6.622031988Eleven hours I spent to write it over,
6.722041989For yesternight by Catesby was it brought me.
6.822051990The precedent was full as long adoing,
6.922061991And yet within these five hours lived Lord Hastings
6.1022071992Untainted, unexamined, free, at liberty.
6.1122081993Here's a good world the while! 2209Why who's so gross
6.121994That sees not this palpable device?
6.1322101995Yet who's so bold but says he sees it not?
6.1422111996Bad is the world and all will come to naught
 22121997When such bad dealing must be seen in thought.
6.15Exit.
