When a gentleman is dispos’d to swear, it is not for any standers-by to curtail his oaths. Ha?
SECOND LORD.

CLOTEN.
Whoreson dog! I gave him satisfaction. Would he had been one of my rank!

CLOTEN.

SECOND LORD.
[Aside.] You are cock and capon too; and you crow, cock, with your comb on.
CLOTEN.

SECOND LORD.

CLOTEN.
No, I know that; but it is fit I should commit offence to my inferiors.
