[ I. 2 Scene II.] A street.
Enter Lucio and two Gentlemen.
Lucio. If the duke, with the other dukes, come not to composition with the King of Hungary, why then all the dukes fall upon the king.
First Gent. Heaven grant us its peace, but not the 5 King of Hungary’s!
Sec. Gent. Amen.
Lucio. Thou concludest like the sanctimonious pirate, that went to sea with the Ten Commandments, but scraped one out of the table.
10 Sec. Gent. ‘Thou shalt not steal’?
Lucio. Ay, that he razed.
[First Gent.] Why, ’twas a commandment to command the captain and all the rest from their functions: they put forth to steal. There’s not a soldier of us all, that, in the 15 thanksgiving [before] meat, [do] relish the petition well that prays for peace.
Sec. Gent. I never heard any soldier dislike it.
