SCENE II. A street.
[Enter Lucio and two Gentlemen.]
LUCIO.
If the duke, with the other dukes, come not to composition
with the King of Hungary, why then all the dukes fall upon
the king.
FIRST GENTLEMAN.
Heaven grant us its peace, but not the King of Hungary's!
SECOND GENTLEMAN.
Amen.
LUCIO.
Thou concludest like the sanctimonious pirate that went to sea
with the ten
commandments, but scraped one out of the table.
SECOND GENTLEMAN.
Thou shalt not steal?
LUCIO.
Ay, that he razed.
FIRST GENTLEMAN.
Why, 'twas a commandment to command the captain and all the rest
from their
functions; they put forth to steal. There's not a soldier of us
all that, in
the thanksgiving before meat, do relish the petition well that
prays for
peace.
SECOND GENTLEMAN.
I never heard any soldier dislike it.
LUCIO.
I believe thee; for I think thou never wast where grace was said.
SECOND GENTLEMAN.
No? A dozen times at least.
