SCENE II.
The English Camp.
A Scaffold in the Back of the Scene: Two Workmen descend from it.
1 Work. There 'tis;—and finished: as pleasing a piece of work, as man could wish to turn out of hand. If King Edward, (Heaven bless him!) give me not a pension for this, let'n make the next scaffold himself. Mass! I would (with reverence be it spoken), build a scaffold, and fix a gallows, with any king in Christendom.
2 Work. Yea, marry, if he had not served his time to the trade.
1 Work. Yea, or if he had. I have been prime gallows maker, and principal hangman, now, nine-and-twenty years.—Thank Heaven! neighbour, I have long been notorious.
2 Work. Thou say'st true, indeed. Thy enemies cannot deny thee that.
1 Work. And why, I pray you? why have I been so?
