KING
So.
BALTHAZAR
Starving? Or strangling, stabbing, smothering?
QUEEN
Good.
KING
Any way, so 'tis done.
BALTHAZAR
But I will have, Sir,
This under your own hand, that you desire it,
You plot it, set me on to't.
KING
Pen, ink and paper.
[King writes and signs document.]
BALTHAZAR
And then as large a pardon as law and wit can engross for me.
KING
Thou shalt have my pardon.
BALTHAZAR
A word more, Sir, pray will you tell me one thing?
