Better, since your lordship was nice enough to ask.
HASTINGS
I tell thee, man, 'tis better with me now
Than when thou met'st me last where now we meet.
Then was I going prisoner to the TowerBy the suggestion of the queen's allies.
But now, I tell thee—keep it to thyself—

This day those enemies are put to death,
And I in better state than e'er I was.
HASTINGS
I tell you, man, it's better for me, too, than the last time we met here. Then I was on my way to the Tower, where I was going to be locked up thanks to the false charges of the queen's allies. But now, I tell you—keep it to yourself, though—those enemies of mine are being put to death today, and I'm better than I've ever been.
