Scene Four
[Another Room in the Castle]
Enter Exton and Servants.
Exton. Didst thou not mark the king, what words he spake?
'Have I no friend will rid me of this living fear?'
Was it not so?
Serv. Those were his very words.
Exton. 'Have I no friend?' quoth he: he spake it twice, 4
And urg'd it twice together, did he not?

That would divorce this terror from my heart,'
Meaning the king at Pomfret. Come, let's go:
I am the king's friend, and will rid his foe.
