SCENE. In Sir Thomas Dagworth's Tent. Dagworth and William his man.

Dagworth.
BRING hither my armour, William;
Ambition is the growth of every clime.

William.

Dagworth.
Ay, it grows most in lands most cultivated.

William.
Then it grows most in France; the vines here
Are finer than any we have in England.

Dagworth.
Ay, but the oaks are not.

William.

I ever saw it.

Dagworth.
Ambition.
