half inch deep into the side of the calf: he, seeing the blood come,
presently takes horse, and away: I, having bound up my wound with a piece
of my wrought shirt --
CAR. O! comes it in there?
FAST. Rid after him, and, lighting at the court gate both together,
embraced, and march'dhand in hand up into the presence. Was not this
business well carried?
MACI. Well! yes, and by this we can guess what apparel the gentleman wore.
PUNT. 'Fore valour, it was a designment begun with much resolution,
maintain'd with as much prowess, and ended with more humanity. --
RE-ENTER SERVANT.
How now, what says the notary?
SERV. He says, he is ready, sir; he stays but your worship's pleasure.

HABE. By my troth,
