1.

  I say this must be granted.

2

  This must be granted brother?

1.

  I, this must be granted.

2.

  Still this must?

1.

  I say this must be granted.

2.

  I, give me the must again, brother, you palter.

1.

  I will not hear you, wasp.

2.

  Brother, I say you palter, the must three times together; I wear
  as sharp Steel as another man, and my Fox bites as deep, musted,
  my dear brother.  But to the cause again.

Bes.

  Nay look you Gentlemen.

2.

  In a word, I ha’ done.

1.

  A tall man but intemperate, ’tis great pity;
  Once more suppose the Boy kick’d.

2.

  Forward.

1.

  And being thorowly kick’d, laughs at the kicker.

2

  So much for us; proceed.

1.

  And in this beaten scorn, as I may call it,
  Delivers up his weapon; where lies the error?

Bes.

  It lies i’th’ beating Sir, I found it four dayes since.

2.

  The error, and a sore one as I take it,
  Lies in the thing kicking.

Bes.

  I understand that well, ’tis so indeed Sir.

1.

  That is according to the man that did it.

2.

  There springs a new branch, whose was the foot?

Bes.

  A Lords.

1.

  The cause is mighty, but had it been two Lords,
  And both had kick’d you, if you laugh, ’tis clear.

Bes.

  I did laugh,
  But how will that help me, Gentlemen?

2.

  Yes, it shall help you if you laught aloud.

Bes.

  As loud as a kick’d man could laugh, I laught Sir.

1.

  My reason now, the valiant man is known
  By suffering and contemning; you have
  Enough of both, and you are valiant.

2.

  If he be sure he has been kick’d enough: 
  For that brave sufferance you speak of brother,
  Consists not in a beating and away,
  But in a cudgell’d body, from eighteen
  To eight and thirty; in a head rebuk’d
  With pots of all size, degrees, stools, and bed-staves,
  This showes a valiant man.

Bes.

  Then I am valiant, as valiant as the proudest,
  For these are all familiar things to me;
  Familiar as my sleep, or want of money,
  All my whole body’s but one bruise with beating,
  I think I have been cudgell’d with all nations,
  And almost all Religions.

2.

  Embrace him brother, this man is valiant,
  I know it by my self, he’s valiant.
