As all things shall redound unto your good.
King. Come, wife, let's in, and learn to govern better; 48
For yet may England curse my wretched reign.
Scene Ten
[Kent. Iden's Garden]
Enter Cade
Cade. Fie on ambitions! fie on myself, that
have a sword, and yet am ready to famish!
These five days have I hid me in these woods and
durst not peep out, for all the country is laid 4
for me; but now I am so hungry, that if I might
have a lease of my life for a thousand years I
could stay no longer. Wherefore, on a brick
wall have I climbed into this garden, to see if I 8
can eat grass, or pick a sallet another while,
which is not amiss to cool a man's stomach this
hot weather. And I think this word 'sallet'
was born to do me good: for many a time, but 12
for a sallet, my brain-pan had been cleft with a
brown bill; and many a time, when I have been
dry, and bravely marching, it hath served me
instead of a quart-pot to drink in; and now the 16
word 'sallet' must serve me to feed on.
Enter Iden.
Iden. Lord! who would live turmoiled in the court,
And may enjoy such quiet walks as these?
This small inheritance my father left me 20
4 laid: beset
9 sallet: salad of green herbs
13 sallet: light headpiece or helmet
