God bless his Highness, and confound his enemies!
I hope his Majesty is well. BUTLER. In health, my lord. COBHAM. God long continue it! Me thinks you look As though you were not well: what ails you, sir? BUTLER. Faith, I have had a foolish odd mischance, That angers me: coming over Shooters hill, There came a fellow to me like a Sailor, And asked me money; and whilst I stayed my horse To draw my purse, he takes th' advantage of A little bank and leaps behind me, whips My purse away, and with a sudden jerk, I know not how, threw me at least three yards Out of my saddle. I never was so robbed In all my life. COBHAM. I am very sorry, sir, for your mischance. We will send our warrant forth, to stay such suspicious persons as shall be found. Then, master Butler, we will attend you. BUTLER. I humbly thank your lordship, I will attend you. |
