kink, unto your tricks: 'Tis but a chance at hazard. There lies Gloster, And here stands Skink; now, John, play thou thy part, And if I 'scape I'll love thee with my heart. [_Puts on_ PRINCE JOHN'S _cloak, sword, and hat_. So, porter! let me forth. _Enter_ PORTER. POR. God bless your grace, spoke ye[483] with the Lord Morton? SKINK. I have, and must about his business to the Court. It grieves me to break my sport with Gloster: The melancholy earl is comfortless. POR. I would your grace would comfort him from hence, The Fleet is weary of his company. [REDCAP _knocks_. SKINK. Drink that, some knocks; I prythee, let me out, His head shall off ere long, never make doubt. [_Exeunt_. _Enter_ JOHN _at the other door_. JOHN. Now, madcap, thou winn'st all; where art thou, Robin?
