I did not entertain thee as thou art.

Tal. Be not dismay'd, fair lady; nor misconster

The mind of Talbot as you did mistake

The outward composition of his body.

What you have done hath not offended me;

Nor other satisfaction do I crave,

But only, with your patience, that we may

Taste of your wine and see what cates you have;

For soldiers' stomachs always serve them well.

Count. With all my heart, and think me honoured

To feast so great a warrior in my house.

Plan. Great lords, and gentlemen, what means this silence?

Dare no man answer in a case of truth?

Suf. Within the Temple hall we were too loud;

The garden here is more convenient.

Plan. Then say at once if I maintain'd the truth,

Or else was wrangling Somerset in th' error?

Suf. Faith, I have been a truant in the law,

And never yet could frame my will to it;

And therefore frame the law unto my will.

Som. Judge you, my Lord of Warwick, then, between us.
