P. 1125
CHIEF JUSTICE
I cannot now speak. I will hear you soon.
Take them away.
PISTOL
‘Si fortuna me tormenta, spero contenta.’ [95]
Exeunt [all but Prince John and the Chief Justice].
LANCASTER
I like this fair proceeding of the king’s.
He hath intent his wonted followers
Shall all be very well provided for,
But all are banished till their conversations
Appear more wise and modest to the world. [100]
CHIEF JUSTICE
And so they are.
LANCASTER
The king hath called his parliament, my lord.
CHIEF JUSTICE
He hath.
LANCASTER
I will lay odds that, ere this year expire,
We bear our civil swords and native fire [105]
As far as France. I heard a bird so sing,
Whose music, to my thinking, pleased the king.
Come, will you hence?
[Exeunt.]
