e-- and Gate-- my Humour, and my Youth have something more of Grandeur, have they not? _Gill._ Infinitely, an't please your Highness. Enter _Page_. _Page._ Madam, a Man without has the boldness to ask for your Honour. _L. Lam._ Honour, Fool! _Gill._ Her Highness, Blockhead. _Page._ Saucily prest in, and struck the Porter for denying him entrance to your-- Highness. _L. Lam._ What kind of Fellow was't? _Page._ A rude, rough, hectoring Swash, an't please your Highness; nay, and two or three times, Gad forgive me, he swore too. _L. Lam._ It must be he.
