1:43:02
What, art mad?
1:43:07
A man may see
how the worid goes
with no eyes.

1:43:12
Look with thine ears.
1:43:14
Behold yond justice rail
on yond simple thief.
Hark in thine ear:

1:43:18
Change places
and, handy-dandy,

1:43:21
which is the justice,
which is the thief? Ey?

1:43:27
Thou hast seen
the farmer's dog
bark at a beggar?

1:43:29
Ay, sir.
1:43:30
Yea, and the creature
run from the cur?

1:43:33
There thou mightst
behold the great
image of authority:

1:43:37
A dog's obeyed in office.
1:43:42
Thou rascal beadle,
hold thy bloody hand.

1:43:47
Why dost thou
lash that whore?

1:43:52
Strip thine own back;
1:43:54
thou hotly lusts
to use her in that kind
for which thou whip'st her.

1:44:05
The usurer hangs
the cozener.

1:44:09
Through tatter'd clothes
great vices do appear.

1:44:13
Robes and furr'd
gowns hide all.

1:44:19
Plate sin with gold,
and the strong lance
of justice hurtless breaks.

1:44:24
Arm it in rags,
a pygmy's straw
does pierce it.

1:44:32
None does offend.
1:44:35
None.
1:44:38
I say none.
1:44:41
I'll able 'em.
1:44:44
Take that of me, my friend,
who have the power
to seal th' accuser's lips.

1:44:47
Get thee glass eyes
and, like a scurvy politician,

1:44:51
seem to see
the things thou dost not.

1:44:53
Now, now, now, now!
1:44:56
Here, pull off my boots.
