A King, and No King by John Fletcher;Francis Beaumont

Why you did, and you have talked enough on't.

_Arb_.

Talkt enough?
Will you confine my word? by heaven and earth,
I were much better be a King of beasts
Than such a people: if I had not patience
Above a God, I should be call'd a Tyrant
Throughout the world. They will offend to death
Each minute: Let me hear thee speak again,
And thou art earth again: why this is like
_Tigranes_ speech that needs would say I brag'd.
_Bessus_, he said I brag'd.

_Bes_.

Ha, ha, ha.

_Arb_.

Why dost thou laugh?
By all the world, I'm grown ridiculous
To my own Subjects: Tie me in a Chair
And jest at me, but I shall make a start,
And punish some that others may take heed
How they are haughty; who will answer me?
He said I boasted, speak _Mardonius_,
Did I? He will not answer, O my temper!
I give you thanks above, that taught my heart
