Act II Sc. 1

“For with such holiness you can do it.”

In ‘The Contention,’ etc., 4to, it is dote for ‘do it’; the folio reads ‘can you.’


“For to present your Highness with the man.”


“How cam’st thou so?—A fall from off a tree.”


“Then, Saunder, sit thee there, the lyingest knave.”


“And would you not think it to be great cunning?”

The folio reads “it cunning to be great.”


“Alas, alas! sir, we did it for pure need.”


“Until they come to Berwick, whence they came.”


Sc. 2

“My lord, I long to hear it at full length.”


“Father, the Duke has told the truth in this.”


Sc. 3

“Despatch; for this knave’s tongue begins to double.”


“Go, and take hence this traitor from our sight.”
