Clown I am no great Nebuchadnezzar, sir; I have not much
skill in grass.
LAFEU Whether dost thou profess thyself, a knave or a fool?
Clown A fool, sir, at a woman's service, and a knave at a man's.
LAFEU Your distinction?
Clown I would cozen the man of his wife and do his service.
LAFEU So you were a knave at his service, indeed.
Clown And I would give his wife my bauble, sir, to do her service.

Clown At your service.
LAFEU No, no, no.
Clown Why, sir, if I cannot serve you, I can serve as
great a prince as you are.
LAFEU Who's that? a Frenchman?
Clown Faith, sir, a' has an English name; but his fisnomy
is more hotter in France than there.
LAFEU What prince is that?
Clown The black prince, sir; alias, the prince of
darkness; alias, the devil.
LAFEU Hold thee, there's my purse: I give thee not this
to suggest thee from thy master thou talkest of;
serve him still.

great fire; and the master I speak of ever keeps a
good fire.
