Second Lord If the business be of any difficulty, and this
morning your departure hence, it requires haste of
your lordship.
BERTRAM I mean, the business is not ended, as fearing to
hear of it hereafter. But shall we have this
dialogue between the fool and the soldier? Come,
bring forth this counterfeit module, he has deceived
me, like a double-meaning prophesier.
Second Lord Bring him forth: has sat i' the stocks all night,
poor gallant knave.
BERTRAM No matter: his heels have deserved it, in usurping
his spurs so long. How does he carry himself?
Second Lord I have told your lordship already, the stocks carry
him. But to answer you as you would be understood;
he weeps like a wench that had shed her milk: he
hath confessed himself to Morgan, whom he supposes
to be a friar, from the time of his remembrance to
this very instant disaster of his setting i' the
stocks: and what think you he hath confessed?
BERTRAM Nothing of me, has a'?
Second Lord His confession is taken, and it shall be read to his
face: if your lordship be in't, as I believe you
are, you must have the patience to hear it.
