CHARLES.

I wonder, Villiers, thou shouldest importune me

For one that is our deadly enemy.

VILLIERS.

Not for his sake, my gracious Lord, so much

Am I become an earnest advocate,

As that thereby my ransom will be quit.

CHARLES.

Thy ransom, man? why needest thou talk of that?

Art thou not free? and are not all occasions,

That happen for advantage of our foes,

To be accepted of, and stood upon?

VILLIERS.

No, good my Lord, except the same be just;

For profit must with honor be comixt,

Or else our actions are but scandalous.

But, letting pass their intricate objections,

Wilt please your highness to subscribe, or no?

CHARLES.

Villiers, I will not, nor I cannot do it;

Salisbury shall not have his will so much,

To claim a passport how it pleaseth himself.

VILLIERS.

Why, then I know the extremity,
