The same.

Enter Exton and Servant.
Exton

Didst thou not mark the king, what words he spake,
β€œHave I no friend will rid me of this living fear?”
Was it not so?

Servant These were his very words.
Exton

β€œHave I no friend?” quoth he: he spake it twice,
And urged it twice together, did he not?

Servant He did.
Exton

And speaking it, he wistly look’d on me,
And who should say, β€œI 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. Exeunt.
