FLOWERDALE. That is as much as to say, a man should hear more than he should speak.
LANCELOT. You say true, and indeed I have heard more than at this time I will speak.
FLOWERDALE.
You say well.
LANCELOT. Slanders are more common than truths, Master Flowerdale: but proof is the rule for both.
FLOWERDALE. You say true; what do you call him hath it there in his third canton.
LANCELOT.
I have heard you have been wild: I have believed it.
FLOWERDALE.
Twas fit, twas necessary.
LANCELOT. But I have seen somewhat of late in you, that hath confirmed in my an opinion of goodness toward you.
FLOWERDALE.
Yfaith, sir, I am sure I never did you harm: some good
I have done, either to you or yours, I am sure you know
not; neither is it my will you should.
LANCELOT.
Aye, your will, sir.
