Enter EXTON and Servant
EXTON
Didst thou not mark the king, what words he spake, 'Have I no friend will rid me of this living fear?' Was it not so?
EXTON
Didn't you hear what the king said: "Don't I have a friend that will rid me of this living fear?" Didn't he say so?
SERVANT
These were his very words.
SERVANT
That's what he said.
EXTON
'Have I no friend?' quoth he: he spake it twice,And urged it twice together, did he not?
EXTON
"Don't I have a friend?" he said; he said it twice, and asked it twice, didn't he?
SERVANT
He did.
SERVANT
He did.
EXTON
And speaking it, he wistly look'd on me, And who should say, 'I would thou wert the man' That would divorce this terror from my heart;' Meaning the king at Pomfret. Come, let's go: I am the king's friend, and will rid his foe.
EXTON
And saying it, he looked at me as if he meant to say, "I wish you were the man to rid me of the thing that makes me afraid," referring to the king at Pomfret. Come on, let's go; I'm the king's friend, and will destroy his enemy.
Exeunt
