P. 1147
I MURDERER
Take that! and that! (Stabs him.) If all this will not do,
I’ll drown you in the malmsey-butt within. [260]
Exit [with body].
II MURDERER
A bloody deed, and desperately dispatch’d.
How fain, like Pilate, would I wash my hands
Of this most grievous murder.
Enter First Murderer.
I MURDERER
How now? What mean’st thou that thou help’st me not?
By heavens, the Duke shall know how slack you have been. [265]
II MURDERER
I would he knew that I had sav’d his brother.
Take thou the fee, and tell him what I say,
For I repent me that the Duke is slain.
Exit.
I MURDERER
So do not I: go, coward as thou art.
Well, I’ll go hide the body in some hole [270]
Till that the Duke give order for his burial.
And when I have my meed, I will away:
For this will out, and then I must not stay.
Exit.
