So it should seem by that I have to say.HASTINGS

HASTINGS
I know they do; and I have well deserved it.
Enter STANLEY
{Come on, come on; where is your boar-spear, man?STANLEY
Fear you the boar, and go so unprovided?}
{My lord, good morrow. Good morrow, Catesby:HASTINGS
You may jest on, but, by the Holy Rood,
I do not like these several councils, I.}
{My lord,STANLEY
I hold my life as dear as you do yours;
And never in my life, I do protest,
Was it so precious to me as 'tis now:
Think you, but that I know our state secure,
I would be so triumphant as I am?}
{The lords at Pomfret, when they rode from London,HASTINGS
Were jocund, and supposed their states was sure,
And they indeed had no cause to mistrust;
But yet, you see how soon the day o'ercast.
This sudden stag of rancour I misdoubt:
Pray God, I say, I prove a needless coward!
What, shall we toward the Tower? The day is spent.}
{Come, come, have with you. Wot you what, my lord?LORD STANLEY
Today the lords you talk of are beheaded.}
{They, for their truth, might better wear their heads
Than some that have accused them wear their hats.
But come, my lord, let us away.}
