Man. I say this is thy hope. The king being dead,

Such offices as hold under the crown

Need confirmation. Now I do not say

Allegiance lapses; but, if I be quick

To guess the new king’s will, that he will change

Our viceroy—which I doubt not,—I may be bold

Now to withhold my duties from a servant

Discredited, contending that they hang

Upon my judgment, for my deeds to give

After-account. See, ’tis a subtle point
