[He strikes him.
Flew. Gode plut, and his. Captain Gower stand away:[5578]
Ile giue treason his due presently.
Enter the King, Warwicke, Clarence, and Exeter.
Kin. How now, what is the matter?[5579]
Flew. And it shall please your Maiestie,
Here is the the notablest peece of treason come to light,11
As you shall desire to see in a sommers day.
Here is a rascall, beggerly rascall, is strike the gloue,
Which your Maiestie tooke out of the helmet of Alonson:[5580]
And your Maiestie will beare me witnes, and testimony,[5581]15
And auouchments, that this is the gloue.
Soul. And it please your Maiestie, that was my gloue.
He that I gaue it too in the night,[5582]
Promised me to weare it in his hat:
I promised to strike him if he did.20
I met that Gentleman, with my gloue in his hat,[5583]
And I thinke I haue bene as good as my word.
Flew. Your Maiestie heares, vnder your Maiesties
Manhood, what a beggerly lowsie knaue it is.
Kin. Let me see thy gloue. Looke you,25
This is the fellow of it.
It was I indeed you promised to strike.
And thou thou hast giuen me most bitter words.[5584]
How canst thou make vs amends?
Flew. Let his necke answere it,30
If there be any marshals lawe in the worell.
Soul. My Liege, all offences come from the heart:
Neuer came any from mine to offend your Maiestie.
You appeard to me as a common man:[5585]
Witnesse the night, your garments, your lowlinesse,35
And whatsoeuer you receiued vnder that habit,
I beseech your Maiestie impute it to your owne fault
And not mine. For your selfe came not like your selfe:[5586]
Had you bene as you seemed, I had made no offence.[5587]
Therefore I beseech your grace to pardon me.40
