I'll leap out at the window. _Ramus_. Sweet Talæus, stay. 10 _Enter_ GONZAGO _and_ RETES. _Gon._ Who goes there? _Retes._ 'Tis Talæus, Ramus' bedfellow. _Gon._ What art thou? _Tal._ I am, as Ramus is, a Christian. _Retes._ O, let him go; he is a Catholic. [_Exit_ TALÆUS. _Gon._ Come, Ramus, more gold, or thou shall have the stab. _Ramus._ Alas, I am a scholar! how should I have gold? All that I have is but my stipend from the king, Which is no sooner receiv'd but it is spent. _Enter_ GUISE, ANJOU, DUMAINE, MOUNTSORRELL, _and_ Soldiers. _Anj._ Who have you there? _Retes._ 'Tis Ramus, the king's Professor of Logic. 20 _Guise._ Stab him. _Ramus._ O, good my lord, Wherein hath Ramus been so offensious?
