Percy. Aumerle, thou liest; his honour is as true
In this appeal as thou art all unjust;45
And that thou art so, there I throw my gage,
To prove it on thee to the extremest point
Of mortal breathing: seize it, if thou darest.
Aum. An if I do not, may my hands rot off[1570]
And never brandish more revengeful steel50
Over the glittering helmet of my foe!
Another Lord. I task the earth to the like, forsworn Aumerle;[1571][1572]
And spur thee on with full as many lies[1571]
As may be holloa'd in thy treacherous ear[1571][1573]
From sun to sun: there is my honour's pawn;[1571][1574]55
Engage it to the trial, if thou darest.[1571]
Aum. Who sets me else? by heaven, I'll throw at all:[1571]
I have a thousand spirits in one breast,[1571]
To answer twenty thousand such as you.[1571]
Surrey. My Lord Fitzwater, I do remember well[1575][1576]60
The very time Aumerle and you did talk.[1575][1577]
Fitz. 'Tis very true: you were in presence then;[1578]
And you can witness with me this is true.
Surrey. As false, by heaven, as heaven itself is true.[1579]
Fitz. Surrey, thou liest.[1580]
Surrey. Dishonourable boy![1581]65
That lie shall lie so heavy on my sword,[1581]
That it shall render vengeance and revenge
Till thou the lie-giver and that lie do lie[1582]
In earth as quiet as thy father's skull:
In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn;[1583]70
Engage it to the trial, if thou darest.
Fitz. How fondly dost thou spur a forward horse!
If I dare eat, or drink, or breathe, or live,[1584]
I dare meet Surrey in a wilderness,
And spit upon him, whilst I say he lies,75
And lies, and lies: there is my bond of faith,[1585]
To tie thee to my strong correction.
As I intend to thrive in this new world,[1586]
Aumerle is guilty of my true appeal:
Besides, I heard the banish'd Norfolk say,[1587]80
That thou, Aumerle, didst send two of thy men
To execute the noble duke at Calais.
