Cf. Psalms, xc, 9 : " For all our days are passed away in thy wrath : we spend our years as a tale that is told." 128. rub : obstacle. Cf. Hamlet, III, i, 65 : " ay, there 's the rub." The metaphor is from the game of bowls. Cf. note, II, i, 579.
68 THE NEW HUDSON SHAKESPEARE act in That, whiles warm life plays in that infant's veins, The misplac'd John should entertain an hour, One minute, nay, one quiet breath of rest.
A sceptre snatch'd with an unruly hand 135 Must be as boisterously maintai...n'd as gain'd ; And he that stands upon a slippery place Makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up : That John may stand, then Arthur needs must fall ; So be it, for it cannot be but so. 140 Lewis. But what shall I gain by young Arthur's fall ?
Pandulph. You, in the right of Lady Blanch your wife, May then make all the claim that Arthur did.
Lewis. And lose it, life and all, as Arthur did.
Pandulph. How green you are and fresh in this old world !
John lays you plots ; the times conspire with you ; 146 For he that steeps his safety in true blood Shall find but bloody safety and untrue.
