Rem. They will come unsend for, I warrant you, if they wist.
What be their names? tell me what they be!
Ill-W. That one is John Irische and John Sholer:
But full these be honest men, all three. D3,v.
Health. Trust not their words! they will dissemble still;
They are so false and crafty, all their intent is ill.
Ill-W. Ye lie falsely! I speak but right and reason;
And by the law of arms, ye must needs be tane.
You are called Good Remedy which, at all season,
Should lean to man's life, and maintain the same.
We be here both your prisoners, wrongfully accused by defame:
Keep one of us fast; let him lie for all;
That other for friends and witness go shall.
Wit. Sir! let him not go, and leave me behind;
He will ever be a false knave, for I know his mind.
Ill-W. Hold thy tongue, foolish knave! I do not mean so.
Rem. I hear now ye cannot agree which of you should go.
Ill-W. No, by God's body! there shall none go but I.
Wit. Thou playest the knave! it must needs be I!
Health. Keep them safe, I pray you; for if they scape again
Many men shall repent it: it shall be to our pain.
