:16:00
every hour he flashes
into one gross crime or other
that sets us all at odds.

:16:05
I'll not endure it.
:16:06
His knights grow riotous,
:16:10
and himself upbraids us
on every trifle.

:16:19
When he returns
from hunting,

:16:20
I will not speak
with him;
say I am sick.

:16:25
If you come short
of former services,

:16:29
you shall do well;
:16:30
the fault of it
I'll answer.

:16:36
Put on what weary
negligence you please,
you and your fellows.

:16:39
I'd have it come to question.
If he distaste it,
let him to my sister.

:16:46
Idle old man,
:16:48
that still would manage
those authorities
that he hath given away.

:17:02
Old fools are babes again.
:17:06
Let me not
stay a jot for dinner;

:17:09
go get it ready.
:17:18
What art thou?
:17:19
A very honest-hearted
fellow, sir, and as poor
as the King.

:17:24
If thou be'st as poor
for a subject
as he is for a king,

:17:28
thou art poor enough.
:17:41
What would'st thou?
:17:42
Service.
:17:45
Who would'st thou serve?
You.

:17:48
Dost thou
know me, fellow?

:17:49
No, sir;
:17:53
but you have that in your
countenance which I would
fain call master.

:17:58
What's that?
Authority.
