Avaunt,thou hateful villain,get thee gone!HUBERT I am no villain.SALISBURY Must I rob the law?
Drawing his sword BASTARD Your sword is bright,sir;put it up again.SALISBURY Not till I sheathe it in a murderer's skin.HUBERT Stand back,Lord Salisbury,stand back,I say;By heaven,I think my sword's as sharp as yours:
I would not have you,lord,forget yourself,Nor tempt the danger of my true defence;Lest I,by marking of your rage,forget Your worth,your greatness and nobility.BIGOT Out,dunghill!darest thou brave a nobleman?HUBERT Not for my life:but yet I dare defend My innocent life against an emperor.SALISBURY Thou art a murderer.HUBERT Do not prove me so;Yet I am none:whose tongue soe'er speaks false,Not truly speaks;who speaks not truly,lies.PEMBROKE Cut him to pieces.BASTARD Keep the peace,I say.SALISBURY Stand by,or I shall gall you,Faulconbridge.BASTARD Thou wert better gall the devil,Salisbury:
If thou but frown on me,or stir thy foot,Or teach thy hasty spleen to do me shame,I'll strike thee dead.Put up thy sword betime;Or I'll so maul you and your toasting-iron,That you shall think the devil is come from hell.BIGOT What wilt thou do,renowned Faulconbridge?
Second a villain and a murderer?HUBERT Lord Bigot,I am none.BIGOT Who kill'd this prince?HUBERT 'Tis not an hour since I left him well:
I honour'd him,I loved him,and will weep My date of life out for his sweet life's loss.SALISBURY Trust not those cunning waters of his eyes,For villany is not without such rheum;And he,long traded in it,makes it seem Like rivers of remorse and innocency.
Away with me,all you whose souls abhor The uncleanly savours of a slaughter-house;For I am stifled with this smell of sin.BIGOT Away toward Bury,to the Dauphin there!PEMBROKE There tell the king he may inquire us out.
Exeunt Lords BASTARD Here's a good world!Knew you of this fair work?
