Shakespeare, William
English drama
_Aut._ I will trust you. Walk before toward the sea-side;
go on the right hand: I will but look upon the hedge and
follow you. 800
_Clo._ We are blest in this man, as I may say, even
blest.
_Shep._ Let's before as he bids us: he was provided to
do us good. [_Exeunt Shepherd and Clown._
_Aut._ If I had a mind to be honest, I see Fortune would 805
not suffer me: she drops booties in my mouth. I am courted
now with a double occasion, gold and a means to do the
prince my master good; which who knows how that may
turn back to my advancement? I will bring these two
moles, these blind ones, aboard him: if he think it fit to 810
shore them again and that the complaint they have to the
king concerns him nothing, let him call me rogue for
being so far officious; for I am proof against that title and
what shame else belongs to't. To him will I present them:
there may be matter in it. [_Exit._ 815
