For that old custom’s not worth dying for.

KING.

Persuade him to eat or drink. Till yesterday

I thought that hunger and weakness had been enough;

But finding them too trifling and too light

To hold his mouth from biting at the grave,

I called you hither, and all my hope’s in you,

And certain of his neighbours and good friends

That I have sent for. While he is lying there

Perishing, my good name in the world
