Flam. Give me a fair room yet hung with arras, and some great cardinal to lug me by th' ears, as his endeared minion.
Fran. And thou mayest do the devil knows what villainy.
Flam. And safely.
Fran. Right: you shall see in the country, in harvest-time, pigeons, though they destroy never so much corn, the farmer dare not present the fowling-piece to them: why? because they belong to the lord of the manor; whilst your poor sparrows, that belong to the Lord of Heaven, they go to the pot for 't. (5.1)
Flamineo explains that loyalty, for him, is just a way of receiving protection for his villainies. Francisco, in disguise, agrees that this isn't a bad strategy. It even manages to keep Flamineo somewhat secure after he murders his brother a little later in the play (though he has to renew his pardon every day).
Quote #11
Flam. He was a kind of statesman, that would sooner have reckoned how many cannon-bullets he had discharged against a town, to count his expense that way, than think how many of his valiant and deserving subjects he lost before it.
Fran. Oh, speak well of the duke!
Flam. I have done. (5.3)
Flamineo thinks he has spoken well of the Duke because he believes that caring about the lives of your citizens is for sentimental fools. The Duke was a "great man" because he was only out for his own worldly glory—and attained it (before being murdered, albeit).
