Mar. What dost thou but exasperate ill-will?

Pal. Already our bread has been untaxed two days.

Mar. And may be two days more.

Pal.I have better hope,

Or had: for if I had once provoked the Spaniard

To set his troops against us, all the nobles,

Who now retired hold neutral parliament,

Would then have joined the people, and compelled

The justice of our claim by force of arms.

Mar. All, say’st thou?
