Page 114 - Urswick, command the dukeling and these fellows To Digby, the Lieutenant of the Tower: With safety let them be convey'd to London. It is our pleasure no uncivil outrage, Taunts or abuse be suffer'd to their persons; They shall meet fairer law than they deserve.

Page 467 - Saw. Strike, do: and wither'd may that hand and arm Whose blows have lam'd me, drop from the rotten trunk. Abuse me ! beat me! call me hag and witch !
