I'll have five hundred voices of that sound. I twice five hundred and their friends to piece 'em. Get you hence instantly, and tell those friends, They have chose a consul that will from them take Their liberties; make them of no more voice Than dogs that are as often beat for barking As therefore kept to do so.
