O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!
My tables,ùmeet it is I set it down,
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain:
At least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark.

Then, Saunder, sit there, the lyingest knave in
Christendom. If thou hadst been born blind, thou
mightest as well have known all our names as thus to
name the several colours we do wear. Sight may
distinguish of colours, but suddenly to nominate them
all, it is impossible. My lords, Saint Alban here
hath done a miracle; and would ye not think his
cunning to be great, that could restore this cripple
to his legs again?
