"
SIR THOMAS.
"I do now further demand of thee whether thou knowest anything more
appertaining unto this business."
EUSEBY TREEN.
"Ay, verily; that your worship may never hold me for timorsome and
superstitious, I do furthermore add that some other than deer-
stealers was abroad. In sign whereof, although it was the dryest
and clearest night of the season, my jerkin was damp inside and
outside when I reached my house-door."
WILLIAM SHAKSPEARE.
"I warrant thee, Euseby, the damp began not at the outside. A word
in thy ear--Lucifer was thy tapster, I trow."
SIR THOMAS.
"Irreverent swine! hast no awe nor shame. Thou hast aggravated thy
offence, William Shakspeare, by thy foul-mouthedness."
SIR SILAS.
"I must remind your worship that he not only has committed this
iniquity afore, but hath pawed the puddle he made, and relapsed into
it after due caution and reproof. God forbid that what he spake
against me, out of the gall of his proud stomach, should move me. I
defy him, a low, ignorant wretch, a rogue and vagabond, a thief and
cut-throat, a -- {66a} monger and mutton-eater."
WILLIAM SHAKSPEARE.
"Your worship doth hear the learned clerk's testimony in my behalf.
