CLOWN: Hum, hum, hum.

MERLIN: He to the world shall add another Worthy,
And, as a loadstone, for his prowess draw
A train of marshal lovers to his court:
It shall be then the best of knight-hoods honor,
At Winchester to fill his castle hall,
And at his royal table sit and feast
In warlike orders, all their arms round hurl'd,
As if they meant to circumscribe the world. [He touches the Clowns mouth with his wand.

CLOWN: Hum, hum, hum: oh, that I could speak a little!

MERLIN: I know your mind, uncle; agen be silent. [Strikes agen.
