_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.
_1_.
Captain, thou art a valiant Gentleman, To bide upon, a very valiant man.
_Bes_.
My equall friends o'th'Sword, I must request your hands to this.
_2_.
'Tis fit it should be.
_Bes_.
Boy, get me some wine, and pen and Ink within: Am I clear, Gentlemen?
_1_.
Sir, the world has taken notice what we have done, Make much of your body, for I'll p.a.w.n my steel, Men will be coyer of their legs hereafter.
_Bes_.
I must request you goe along and testife to the Lord _Bacurius_, whose foot has struck me, how you find my cause.
_2_.
We will, and tell that Lord he must be rul'd, Or there are those abroad, will rule his Lords.h.i.+p.
