Monsieur Sampson, My honourable friend, my valiant friend, Be but so beaten, forward my brave Clients, I am yours, and you are mine again, be but so thrasht, Receive that Castigation with a cudgel. (Sam: Which calls upon us for a Reparation.) I have, it cost me half a crown, I bear it All over me, I bear it Monsieur Sampson; The oyls, and the old woman that repairs to me, To 'noint my beaten body. (Sam: It concerns you, You have been swing'd.) Let it concern thee too; Goe and be beaten, speak scurvy words, as I did, Speak to that Lion Lord, waken his anger, And have a hundred Bastinado's, doe; Three broken pates, thy teeth knockt out, do Sampson, Thy valiant arms and leggs beaten to Poultesses, Do silly Sampson, do. 1 Cly. You wrong the Gentleman, To put him out of his right mind thus: You wrong us, and our Causes.
