Warw.

But that the guilt of Murther bucklers thee,

And I should rob the Deaths‑man of his Fee,

Quitting thee thereby of ten thousand shames,

And that my Soueraignes presence makes me milde,

I would, false murd'rous Coward, on thy Knee

Make thee begge pardon for thy passed speech,

And say it was thy Mother that thou meant'st,

That thou thy selfe wast borne in Bastardie;

And after all this fearefull Homage done,

Giue thee thy hyre, and send thy Soule to Hell,

Pernicious blood‑sucker of sleeping men.
