--But you have trod this moment upon a king. ----Kings have bad times on't, said I, to be trod upon by such people as me.
You have done it, replied my accuser.
I deny it, quoth I, and so have got off, and here am I standing with my bridle in one hand, and with my cap in the other, to tell my story. ------And what is it? You shall hear in the next chapter.
[Footnote 4.8: According to the original Editions.]
'But you have just trod upon a king!'
'I deny it,' quoth I, and so have got off, and here am I standing with my bridle in one hand, and my cap in the other, to tell my story.
And what is it? You shall hear in the next chapter.
