Tremelio's force saved thousands from the foe.
AMADINE.
The shepherd's force would have saved thousands more.
MOUSE.
Aye, shipsticks, nothing else.
KING.
Segasto, cease to accuse the shepherd, His worthiness deserves a recompense, All we are bound to do the shepherd good:
Shepherd, whereas it was my sentence, thou shouldst die, So shall my sentence stand, for thou shalt die.
SEGASTO.
Thanks to your majesty.
KING.
But soft, Segasto, not for this offence.--
Long maist thou live, and when the sisters shall decree to cut in twain the twisted thread of life, Then let him die: for this I set thee free:
And for thy valour I will honour thee.
MUCEDORUS.
Thanks to your majesty.
KING.
Come, daughter, let us now depart, to honour the worthy valour of the shepherd with our rewards.
[Exeunt.]
MOUSE.
O master, hear you, you have made a fresh hand now you would be slow, you; why, what will you do now? you have lost me a good occupation by the means. Faith, master, now I cannot hang the shepherd, I pray you, let me take the pains to hang you: it is but half an hour's exercise.
SEGASTO.
You are still in your knavery, but sith a I cannot have his life I will procure his banishment for ever.
Come one, sirra.
MOUSE.
