Con. I told him, an't shall please your lordships,
The king's officers had eyes to hear such rascals.
1st Judge. You have been careful in your office, constable;
You may now leave your prisoner.
Con. I'll leave the felon with your lordship.
1st Judge. Farewell, good constable: murder,
I see, will out.
Why didst thou poison him?
[Exit Constable.
Eug. I was poor, and want made me be hired.
2d Judge. Hired by whom?
Eug. By Count Virro; there he stands.
Vir. I do beseech your lordships not to credit
What this base fellow speaks. I'm innocent.
1st Judge. I do believe you are. Sirrah, speak truth;
You have not long to live.
Eug. Please it your lordship, I may relate the manner?
