When his highness sends a ship to Egypt, does he trouble his head whether the mice on board are at their ease or not?
Weep for me, whoever has charity, truth and justice! I did not come on this voyage for gain, honor or wealth, that is certain; for then the hope of all such things was dead. I came to Your Highnesses with honest purpose and sincere zeal; and I do not lie. I humbly beseech Your Highnesses that, if it please God to remove me hence, you will help me to go to Rome and on other pilgrimages.
Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something.
I am his Highness' dog at Kew; Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?
