If , then , I did begin to grant these pardons , I might sheathe my sword . '' `` It may be so , my lord ; and yet I will be overbold , and at the risk of your disfavour , recall your lordship 's promise , '' replied Dick . Richard of Gloucester flushed . `` Mark it right well , '' he said , harshly . `` I love not mercy , nor yet mercymongers . Ye have this day laid the foundations of high fortune . If ye oppose to me my word , which I have plighted , I will yield . But , by the glory of heaven , there your favour dies ! `` Mine is the loss , '' said Dick . `` Give him his sailor , '' said the duke ; and wheeling his horse , he turned his back upon young Shelton . Dick was nor glad nor sorry . He had seen too much of the young duke to set great store on his affection ; and the origin and growth of his own favour had been too flimsy and too rapid to inspire much confidence . One thing alone he feared -- that the vindictive leader might revoke the offer of the lances . But here he did justice neither to Gloucester 's honour -LRB- such as it was -RRB- nor , above all , to his decision . If he had once judged Dick to be the right man to pursue Sir Daniel , he was not one to change ; and he soon proved it by shouting after Catesby to be speedy , for the paladin was waiting . In the meanwhile , Dick turned to the old shipman , who had seemed equally indifferent to his condemnation and to his subsequent release . `` Arblaster , '' said Dick , `` I have done you ill ; but now , by the rood , I think I have cleared the score . '' But the old skipper only looked upon him dully and held his peace . `` Come , '' continued Dick , `` a life is a life , old shrew , and it is more than ships or liquor . Say ye forgive me ; for if your life be worth nothing to you , it hath cost me the beginnings of my fortune .
XXXXX , I have paid for it dearly ; be not so churlish . ''
