God, and not we, hath safely fought to-day.
Some guard these traitors to the block of death;
Treason's true bed, and yielder up of breath. 124

degree, and the dungeon your place, a place 8

the dale.
Cole. Are not you Sir John Falstaff?
Fal. As good a man as he, sir, whoe'er I am. 12
Do ye yield, sir, or shall I sweat for you? If
