SEGASTO.
Tremelio’s force sav’d thousands from the foe.
AMADINE.
The shepherd’s force hath saved thousands more.
MOUSE.
[Aside.] Ay, shipsticks, nothing else.
KING OF ARAGON.
Segasto, cease the shepherd to accuse,
His worthiness deserves a recompense,
All we are bound to do the shepherd good.
Shepherd,
Whereas it was my sentence thou shouldst die,
So shall my sentence stand, for thou shalt die.
SEGASTO.
Thanks to your majesty.
KING OF ARAGON.
[To Segasto.] But soft, Segasto, not for this offence.
[To Mucedorus.] Long may’st thou live; [to Segasto.] and when the Sisters shall decree
To cut in twain the twisted thread of life,
Then let him die: for this I set thee free;
[To Mucedorus.] And for thy valour I will honour thee.
AMADINE.
Thanks to your majesty.
KING OF ARAGON.
Come, daughter, let us now depart to honour
The worthy valour of the shepherd with rewards.
[Exeunt.]
MOUSE.
O master, hear you, you have made a fresh hand now, I thought you would, beshrew you! Why, what will you do now? You have lost me a good occupation by the means. Faith, master, now I cannot hang the shepherd, I pray you, let me take the pains to hang you, it is but half an hour’s exercise.
