forfaite?
_Cler._ Acts that are done by Kings, are not askt why.
Ile not dispute the case, but I will search you.
_Mail._ Search mee! for what?
_Cler._ For letters.
_Mail._ I beseech you, 210
Doe not admit one thought of such a shame
To a commander.
_Cler._ Goe to! I must doo't.
Stand and be searcht; you know mee.
_Mail._ You forget
What tis to be a captaine, and your selfe.
_Cler._ Stand, or I vow to heaven, Ile make you lie, 215
Never to rise more.
_Mail._ If a man be mad,
Reason must beare him.
_Cler._ So coy to be searcht?
_Mail._ Sdeath, sir, use a captaine like a carrier!
_Cler._ Come, be not furious; when I have done,
You shall make such a carrier of me, 220
If't be your pleasure: you're my friend, I know,
And so am bold with you.
_Mail._ You'll nothing finde
Where nothing is.
_Cler._ Sweare you have nothing.
_Mail._ Nothing you seeke, I sweare. I beseech you,
Know I desir'd this out of great affection, 225
To th'end my lord may know out of your witnesse
His forces are not in so bad estate
As hee esteem'd them lately in your hearing;
For which he would not trust me with the confines,
But went himselfe to witnesse their estate. 230
_Cler._ I heard him make that reason, and am sorie
I had no thought of it before I made
Thus bold with you, since tis such ruberb to you.
Ile therefore search no more. If you are charg'd
(By letters from the King, or otherwise) 235
To apprehend me, never spice it more
With forc'd tearmes of your love, but say: I yeeld;
Holde, take my sword, here; I forgive thee freely;
Take; doe thine office.
_Mail._ Sfoote! you make m'a hang-man;
By all my faith to you, there's no such thing. 240
_Cler._ Your faith to mee!
_Mail._ My faith to God; all's one:
Who hath no faith to men, to God hath none.
_Cler._ In that sense I accept your othe, and thanke you.
I gave my word to goe, and I will goe. _Exit Cler[mont]._
_Mail._ Ile watch you whither. _Exit Mail[lard]._
_Mess._ If hee goes, hee
