To-morrow, sir, I wrestle for my credit;
and he
that escapes me without some broken limb shall acquit him
well.
Your brother is but young and tender; and, for your love, I
would
be loath to foil him, as I must, for my own honour, if he
come
in; therefore, out of my love to you, I came hither to
acquaint
you withal, that either you might stay him from his
intendment,
or brook such disgrace well as he shall run into, in that it
is
thing of his own search and altogether against my will.
OLIVER. Charles, I thank thee for thy love to me, which thou
shalt
find I will most kindly requite. I had myself notice of my
brother's purpose herein, and have by underhand means
laboured to
dissuade him from it; but he is resolute. I'll tell thee,
Charles, it is the stubbornest young fellow of France; full
of
ambition, an envious emulator of every man's good parts, a
secret
and villainous contriver against me his natural brother.
Therefore use thy discretion: I had as lief thou didst break
his
neck as his finger.
