KING
Berowne, they will shame us. Let them not
approach.
BEROWNE
We are shame-proof, my lord; and 'tis some policy
To have one show worse than the King's and his
company. (5.2.561-565)
The King is worried that the yokels' play will further show him to be a dishonorable man. Berowne assures him that, in their situation, there's nowhere to go but up.
