English drama

_Par._ O my good lord, you were the first that found
me!
_Laf._ Was I, in sooth? and I was the first that lost
thee.
_Par._ It lies in you, my lord, to bring me in some grace, 45
for you did bring me out.
_Laf._ Out upon thee, knave! dost thou put upon me at
once both the office of God and the devil? One brings thee
in grace and the other brings thee out. [_Trumpets sound._]
The king's coming; I know by his trumpets. Sirrah, inquire 50
further after me; I had talk of you last night: though
you are a fool and a knave, you shall eat; go to, follow.
_Par._ I praise God for you. [_Exeunt._

Though my revenges were high bent upon him, 10
And watch'd the time to shoot.
