e is prisoner for all that--though not so straitly kept, yet
as verily prisoner as he that lieth in the stocks.

VINCENT: But they may go at least to every place that they need,
or that is commodious for them, and therefore they do not wish to
go anywhere but where they may. And therefore they are at liberty
to go where they will.

ANTHONY: I need not, cousin, to spend the time about impugning
every part of this answer. Let pass by that, though a prisoner were
brought with his keeper into every place where need required, yet
since he might not when he wished go where he wished for his
pleasure alone, he would be, as you know well, a prisoner still.
And let pass over also that it would be needful for this beggar,
and commodious for this king, to go into divers places where
neither of them may come. And let pass also that neither of them is
lightly so temperately determined by what they both fain would so
do indeed, if this reason of yours put them out of prison and set
them at liberty and made them free, as I will well grant it doth if
they so do indeed--that is, if they have no will to go anywhere but
where they may go indeed.

Then let us look on our other prisoners enclosed within a castle,
and we shall find that the straitest kept of them both, if he get
the wisdom and grace to quiet his mind and hold himself content
with that place, and not long (as a woman with child longeth for
her desires) to be gadding out anywhere else, is by the same reason
of yours, while his will is not longing to be anywhere else, he is,
I say, at his free liberty to be where he will. And so he is out of
prison too.

And, on the other hand, if, though his will be not longing to be
anywhere else, yet because if his will so were he should not be so
suffered, he is therefore not at his free liberty but a prisoner
still, since your free beggar that you speak of and the prince that
you call out of prison too, though they be (which I daresay few be)
by some special wisdom so temperately disposed that they will have
not the will to be anywhere but where they see that they may be
suffered to be, yet, since if they did have that will they could
not then be where they would, they lack the effect of free liberty
and are both twain in prison too.

VINCENT: Well, uncle, if every man universally is by this reason
in prison already, after the proper nature of imprisonment, yet to
be imprisoned in this special manner which alone is commonly calle
