nder's company; I'll back again, Else I would be with you counterfeit; I'll leave the rogue till opportunity, But never eat, till I have quit my wrong. [_Exit_. RICH. I saw two men attend like holy hermits; One's slipp'd away, the other's at his beads. Now, Richard, for the love of Marian, Make thy inquire, where mad Gloster lives. If England or the verge of Scotland hold him, I'll seek him thus disguis'd. If he be pass'd To any foreign part, I'll follow him. Love, thou art Lord of hearts; thy laws are sweet; In every troubled way thou guid'st our feet. Lovers, enjoin'd to pass the dangerous sea Of big-swoll'n sorrow in the bark Affection, The winds and waves of woe need never fear, While Love the helm doth, like a pilot, steer. GLO. Here's some lover come, a mischief on him! I know not how to answer these mad fools; But I'll be brief; I'll mar the hermit's tale. Off, gown; hold, buckler; slice it, Bilbo' blade. RICH.

This is no common man with whom I fight, And if he be, he is of wond'rous spright. [_Aside_. Shall we part stakes? RICH. Fellow, take The purse upon condition thou wilt follow me. GLO. What, wait on you? wear a turn'd livery, Whose man's your master? If I be your man, My man's man's office will be excellent! There lies your purse again; win it and wear it. [_Fight_. _Enter_ ROBIN HOOD. _They breathe, offer again_. ROB. Clashing of weapons at my welcome hither? Bick'ring upon Blackheath. Well-said, old man; I'll take thy side, the youn
