Hu.Manuel, whom late we trusted,
Hath turned against me. He hath joined the rebels.

Con. Who dares to slander him?
Hu.Fact makes no room
For slander. The devil himself could not invent
A tale to blacken him. First to the court

That I have stirred the king’s men to rebellion
By my misrule; and all the while at home
