[♦] Whit. Thou shalt have cause to fear before I leave thee.
What, are ye daunted now? now will ye stoop?
120 First Gent. My gracious lord, entreat him, speak him fair.
Suf. Suffolk’s imperial tongue is stern and rough,
Used to command, untaught to plead for favour.
Far be it we should honour such as these
With humble suit: no, rather let my head
125 Stoop to the block than these knees bow to any
Save to the God of heaven and to my king;
And sooner dance upon a bloody pole
