When thou shalt hear a watch word from thy king, Think then some weighty matter is at hand That highly shall concern our state, Then, Collen, look thou be not far from me:

And for thy service thou to fore hast done, Thy trueth and valour proud in every point, I shall with bounties thee enlarge therefore:

So guard us to the court.

COLLEN.

What so my sovereign doth command me do, With willing mind I gladly yield consent.

[Exeunt.]

ACT II. SCENE II. The same.

[Enter Segasto, and the Clown with weapons about him.]

SEGASTO.

Tell me, sirra, how do you like your weapons?

MOUSE.

O very well, very well, they keep my sides warm.

SEGASTO.

They keep the dogs from your shins very well, do they not?

MOUSE.

How, keep the dogs from my shins? I would scorn but my shins should keep the dogs from them.

SEGASTO.

Well, sirra, leaving idle talk, tell me:

Dost thou know captain Tremelio's chamber?

MOUSE.

Aye, very well; it hath a door.

SEGASTO.

I think so, for so hath every chamber.

But does thou know the man?

MOUSE.

Aye, forsooth, he hath a nose on his face.

SEGASTO.

Why so hath every one.

MOUSE.

That's more than I know.

SEGASTO.
