A fine stratagem, indeed, to save my life, that depends upon hanging, Don Diego, and Sir Roger! HAB .-- I tell thee there is a mystery in all this, my friend, a piece of profound policy; if thou knew what good this will do to the common cause, thy heart would leap for joy.

I am sure thou wouldst not delay the experiment one moment.
JACK .-- This is to the tune of "All for the better." What's your cause to me when I am hanged?
HAB .-- Refractory mortal! if thou wilt not trust thy friends, take what follows.

Know assuredly, before next full moon, that thou wilt be hung up in chains, or thy quarters perching upon the most conspicuous places of the kingdom.

Nay, I don't believe they will be contented with hanging; they talk of impaling, or breaking on the wheel, and thou choosest that before a gentle suspending of thyself for one minute.
Hanging is not so painful a thing as thou imaginest.

I have spoken with several that have undergone it; they all agree it is no manner of uneasiness.
