Then here is a supplication for you. And when you come to him, at the first
approach you must kneel, then kiss his foot, then deliver up your pigeons,
and then look for your reward. I’ll be at hand, sir, see you [110] do it
bravely.
CLOWN
I warrant you, sir, let me alone.
T IT US
Sirrah, hast thou a knife? Come, let me see it.
Here, Marcus, fold it in the oration,
For thou hast made it like an humble suppliant.
And when thou hast given it to the emperor,
Knock at my door, and tell me what he says.
CLOWN
God be with you, sir; I will.
Exit.
T IT US
Come, Marcus, let us go. Publius, follow me.
Exeunt.
