K. Hen. Why, how now, Gentlemen? / What see you in those papers, that you lose / So much complexion? look ye, how they change! / Their cheeks are paper. Why, what read you there, / That hath so cowarded & chas’d your blood / Out of appearance?

Cam. I do confess my fault; / And do submit me to your highness’ mercy.
