William Shakespeare: All's Well That Ends Well

ACT V. SCENE 2. Rousillon. The inner court of the COUNTESS'S palace. (continued)

PAROLLES.
My name, my good lord, is Parolles.

LAFEU.
You beg more than word then.--Cox' my passion! give me your
hand:--how does your drum?

PAROLLES.
O my good lord, you were the first that found me.

LAFEU.
Was I, in sooth? and I was the first that lost thee.

PAROLLES.
It lies in you, my lord, to bring me in some grace, for
you did bring me out.

LAFEU.
Out upon thee, knave! dost thou put upon me at once both the
office of God and the devil? one brings the in grace, and the
other brings thee out.

[Trumpets sound.]

The king's coming; I know by his trumpets.--Sirrah, inquire
further after me; I had talk of you last night: though you are a
fool and a knave, you shall eat: go to; follow.

PAROLLES.
I praise God for you.

[Exeunt.]
