FREDERICK. No, it is not enough. COUNT. The most singular beggar I ever met in all my travels. FREDERICK. If you have a charitable heart, give me one dollar. BARON. This is the first time I was ever dictated by a beggar what to give him. FREDERICK. With one dollar you will save a distracted man. BARON. I don't choose to give any more. Count, go on. [Exit Count--as the Baron follows, Frederick seizes him by the breast and draws his sword.] FREDERICK. Your purse, or your life. BARON [calling]. Here! here! seize and secure him. [Some of the Gamekeepers run on, lay hold of Frederick, and disarm him.] FREDERICK. What have I done! BARON. Rake him to the castle, and confine him in one of the towers. I shall follow you immediately. |
