_Clo._ You should have said, sir, before a knave thou'rt a knave; that's, before me thou'rt a knave: this had been truth, sir. 30 _Par._ Go to, thou art a witty fool; I have found thee. _Clo._ Did you find me in yourself, sir? or were you taught to find me? The search, sir, was profitable; and much fool may you find in you, even to the world's pleasure and the increase of laughter. 35 _Par._ A good knave, i' faith, and well fed. Madam, my lord will go away to-night; A very serious business calls on him. The great prerogative and rite of love, Which, as your due, time claims, he does acknowledge; 40 But puts it off to a compell'd restraint; Whose want, and whose delay, is strew'd with sweets, Which they distil now in the curbed time, To make the coming hour o'erflow with joy, And pleasure drown the brim. _Hel._ What's his will else? 45 _Par._ That you will take your instant leave o' the king, And make this haste as your own good proceeding, Strengthen'd with what apology you think May make it probable need. _Hel._ What more commands he? _Par._ That, having this obtain'd, you presently 50 Attend his further pleasure. _Hel._ In every thing I wait upon his will. _Par._ I shall report it so. _Hel._ I pray you. [_Exit Parolles._] Come, sirrah. [_Exeunt._ LINENOTES: SCENE IV.] SCENE IX. Pope. The King's Palace.] Another room in the same. Capell. [2-5] S.
