I come, by virtue of a process, to ascite him to appear
before my lord in the court at Rochester. HARPOOLE. [Aside.] Well, God grant me patience! I could eat this conger. My lord is not at home; therefore it were good, Sumner, you carried your process back. SUMNER. Why, if he will not be spoken withal, then will I leave it here; and see you that he take knowledge of it. HARPOOLE. Swounds, you slave, do you set up your bills here! go to; take it down again. Doest thou know what thou dost? Dost thou know on whom thou servest process? SUMNER. Yes, marry, do I; Sir John Old-castle, Lord Cobham. HARPOOLE. I am glad thou knowest him yet: and, sirra, dost not thou know, that the lord Cobham is a brave lord, that keeps good beef and beer in his house, and every day feeds a hundred poor people at's gate, and keeps a hundred tall fellows? SUMNER. What's that to my process? |
