Methinks in calling me knave you do me much injury.

Stephano. Why so, I pray thee heartily?

Carisophus. Because I am the king’s man: keeps the king any knaves?

Stephano. He should not; but what he doth, it is evident by thee,

And as far as I can learn or understand,

There is none better able to keep knaves in all the land.

Carisophus. O sir, I am a courtier: when courtiers shall hear tell,

How you have used me, they will not take it well.

Stephano. Nay, all right courtiers will ken me thank;[82] and wot you why?

Because I handled a counterfeit courtier in his kind so finely.
