ACT II. Scene Iv. Eastcheap. The Boar'south Head Tavern. Enter Prince and Poins. | PRINCE. | Ned, prithee come up out of that fatty-room and lend me thy mitt to express joy a piffling. | | | POINS. | Where hast been, Hal? | | | PRINCE. | With three or 4 loggerheads amid three or 80 hogsheads. I take sounded the very bass-cord of humility. Sirrah, I am sworn brother to a leash of drawers and can call them all past their christen names, as Tom, Dick, and FRANCIS. They take it already upon their salvation that, though I be merely Prince of Wales, even so I am the king of courtesy; and tell me flatly I am no proud Jack like Falstaff, but a Corinthian, a lad of mettle, a good boy (by the Lord, so they call me!), and when I am King of England I shall command all the good lads Eastcheap. They call drinking deep, dying ruby; and when you lot breathe in your watering, they weep 'hem!' and bid you play information technology off. To conclude, I am so good a good in one quarter of an 60 minutes that I can drink with any tinker in his own language during my life. I tell thee, Ned, grand hast lost much honour that thousand wert not with me in this action. Just, sweet Ned- to sweeten which name of Ned, I give thee this pennyworth of sugar, clapp'd even at present into my hand by an nether-skinker, one that never spake other English in his life than 'Eight shillings and sixpence,' and 'You are welcome,' with this shrill addition, 'Anon, betimes, sir! Score a pint of bastard in the Half-moon,' or so- just, Ned, to drive abroad the time till Falstaff come, I prithee do thou stand in some past-room while I question my puny drawer to what end be gave me the sugar; and practice m never leave calling 'Francis!' that his tale to me may be nothing simply 'Anon!' Step aside, and I'll show thee a precedent. | | | POINS. | Francis! | | | PRINCE. | Thou art perfect. | | | POINS. | Francis! [Get out Poins.] | | Enter [Francis, a] Drawer. | FRAN. | Betimes, anon, sir.- Look downwards into the Pomgarnet, Ralph. | | | PRINCE. | Come here, Francis. | | | FRAN. | My lord? | | | PRINCE. | How long hast thou to serve, Francis? | | | FRAN. | Forsooth, five years, and as much as to- | | | POINS. | [within] Francis! | | | FRAN. | Anon, anon, sir. | | | PRINCE. | V year! by'r Lady, a long lease for the clinking of Pewter. But, Francis, darest thou be so valiant as to play the coward with thy indenture and show information technology a fair pair of heels and run from it? | | | FRAN. | O Lord, sir, I'll be sworn upon all the books in England I could detect in my heart- | | | POINS. | [within] Francis! | | | FRAN. | Anon, sir. | | | PRINCE. | How old art yard, Francis? | | | FRAN. | Let me see. Well-nigh Michaelmas side by side I shall be- | | | POINS. | [inside] Francis! | | | FRAN. | Anon, sir. Pray stay a little, my lord. | | | PRINCE. | Nay, but hark you, Francis. For the sugar chiliad gavest me- 'twas a pennyworth, wast not? | | | FRAN. | O Lord! I would it had been two! | | | PRINCE. | I will give thee for information technology a thousand pound. Enquire me when yard wilt, and, thou shalt have information technology. | | | POINS. | [within] Francis! | | | FRAN. | Anon, betimes. | | | PRINCE. | Betimes, Francis? No, Francis; but to-morrow, Francis; or, Francis, a Th; or indeed, Francis, when thou wilt. Simply Francis- | | | FRAN. | My lord? | | | PRINCE. | Wilt thou rob this leathern-jerkin, crystal-button, not-pated, agate-ring, puke-stocking, caddis-garter, smooth-tongue, Spanish-pouch- | | | FRAN. | O Lord, sir, who practise you mean? | | | PRINCE. | Why and then, your brown bastard is your only drink; for await you, Francis, your white canvas doublet will sully. In Barbary, sir, it cannot come to then much. | | | FRAN. | What, sir? | | | POINS. | [inside] Francis! | | | PRINCE. | Away, you rogue! Dost m non hear them telephone call? | | Hither they both call him. The Drawer stands amazed, not knowing which way to get. Enter Vintner. | VINT. | What, stand up'st thousand still, and hear'st such a calling? Look to the guests within. [Exit Francis.] My lord, quondam Sir John, with half-a-dozen more, are at the door. Shall I allow them in? | | | PRINCE. | Let them lone awhile, and then open up the door. | | [Exit Vintner.] | Poins! | | | POINS. | [inside] Anon, anon, sir. | | Enter Poins. | PRINCE. | Sirrah, Falstaff and the rest of the thieves are at the door. Shall we be merry? | | | POINS. | As merry as crickets, my lad. Merely hark ye; what cunning match have you fabricated with this jest of the drawer? Come, what'south the event? | | | PRINCE. | I am now of all humours that take showed themselves humours since the old days of goodman Adam to the pupil age of this present this twelve o'clock at midnight. | | [Enter Francis.] | What's o'clock, Francis? | | | FRAN. | Anon, anon, sir | | [Go out.] | PRINCE. | That always this fellow should have fewer words than a parrot, and nevertheless the son of a woman! His industry is upstairs and downstairs, his eloquence the parcel of a reckoning. I am not yet of Percy's mind, the Hotspur of the N; he that kills me some half-dozen or vii dozen of Scots at a breakfast, washes his hands, and says to his wife, 'Fie upon this quiet life! I want work.' 'O my sweet Harry,' says she, 'how many hast thou kill'd to-mean solar day?' 'Requite my roan horse a deluge,' says he, and answers 'Some xiv,' an hour subsequently, 'a trifle, a trifle.' I prithee phone call in FALSTAFF. I'll play Percy, and that damn'd brawn shall play Dame Mortimer his married woman. 'Rivo!' says the drunkard. Call in ribs, telephone call in tallow. | | Enter Falstaff, [Gadshill, Bardolph, and Peto; Francis follows with wine]. | POINS. | Welcome, Jack. Where hast thou been? | | | FAL. | A plague of all cowards, I say, and a vengeance as well! Marry and amen! Give me a cup of sack, boy. Ere I lead this life long, I'll sew together nether-stocks, and mend them and foot them too. A plague of all cowards! Give me a loving cup of sack, rogue. Is in that location no virtue extant? | | He drinketh. | PRINCE. | Didst thou never run into Titan kiss a dish of butter? Sad-hearted butter, that melted at the sweet tale of the sunday! If thou didst, then behold that chemical compound. | | | FAL. | You lot rogue, here'due south lime in this sack as well! At that place is nothing but roguery to be found in villanous homo. Yet a coward is worse than a cup of sack with lime in information technology- a villanous coward! Become thy ways, sometime Jack, dice when thou wilt; if manhood, good manhood, exist not forgot upon the face of the earth, then am I a shotten herring. There lives not three proficient men unhang'd in England; and ane of them is fat, and grows old. God aid the while! A bad world, I say. I would I were a weaver; I could sing psalms or anything. A plague of all cowards I say still! | | | PRINCE. | How now, woolsack? What complain you lot? | | | FAL. | A king's son! If I do not trounce thee out of thy kingdom with a dagger of board and drive all thy subjects afore thee like a flock of wild geese, I'll never wear hair on my face up more. Yous Prince of Wales? | | | PRINCE. | Why, you whoreson round homo, what's the matter? | | | FAL. | Are not you a coward? Answer me to that- and Poins in that location? | | | POINS. | Zounds, ye fat paunch, an ye phone call me coward, by the Lord, I'll stab thee. | | | FAL. | I phone call thee coward? I'll encounter thee damn'd ere I call thee coward, only I would give a thousand pound I could run as fast every bit thou canst. You lot are straight enough in the shoulders; you care not who sees Your back. Phone call you that bankroll of your friends? A plague upon such backing! Requite me them that will face me. Give me a cup of sack. I am a rogue if I boozer to-day. | | | PRINCE. | O villain! thy lips are deficient wip'd since thou boozer'st final. | | | FAL. | All is one for that. (He drinketh.) A plague of all cowards still say I. | | | PRINCE. | What'south the thing? | | | FAL. | What'due south the matter? There be iv of united states hither have ta'en a thousand pound this twenty-four hours morning. | | | PRINCE. | Where is it, Jack? Where is it? | | | FAL. | Where is it, Taken from us it is. A hundred upon poor iv of us! | | | PRINCE. | What, a hundred, man? | | | FAL. | I am a rogue if I were not at half-sword with a dozen of them two hours together. I have scap'd by miracle. I am eight times thrust through the doublet, iv through the hose; my buckler cut through and through; my sword hack'd like a handsaw- ecce signum! I never dealt better since I was a man. All would not practise. A plague of all cowards! Allow them speak, If they speak more or less than truth, they are villains and the sons of darkness. | | | PRINCE. | Speak, sirs. How was it? | | | GADS. | Nosotros four set upon some dozen- | | | FAL. | Xvi at least, my lord. | | | GADS. | And bound them. | | | PETO. | No, no, they were not bound. | | | FAL. | You rogue, they were spring, every man of them, or I am a Jew else- an Ebrew Jew. | | | GADS. | Every bit we were sharing, some six or seven fresh men ocean upon us- | | | FAL. | And unbound the rest, and then come in the other. | | | PRINCE. | What, fought you with them all? | | | FAL. | All? I know non what you call all, but if I fought not with l of them, I am a bunch of radish! If there were not two or three and 50 upon poor onetime Jack, and so am I no 2-legg'd creature. | | | PRINCE. | Pray God you have not murd'crimson some of them. | | | FAL. | Nay, that's by praying for. I take pepper'd 2 of them. Ii I am sure I have paid, two rogues in buckram suits. I tell thee what, Hal- if I tell thee a lie, spit in my face, call me horse. Thou knowest my old ward. Here I lay, and thus I bore my signal. Four rogues in buckram let drive at me. | | | PRINCE. | What, four? Thou saidst merely two even now. | | | FAL. | Four, Hal. I told thee four. | | | POINS. | Ay, ay, he said iv. | | | FAL. | These iv came all afront and mainly thrust at me. I made me no more ado but took all their seven points in my target, thus. | | | PRINCE. | Seven? Why, at that place were but iv even now. | | | FAL. | In buckram? | | | POINS. | Ay, four, in buckram suits. | | | FAL. | 7, by these hilts, or I am a villain else. | | | PRINCE. | [aside to Poins] Prithee allow him lone. Nosotros shall take more anon. | | | FAL. | Dost thou hear me, Hal? | | | PRINCE. | Ay, and mark thee too, Jack. | | | FAL. | Do so, for it is worth the listing'ning to. These ix in buckram that I told thee of- | | | PRINCE. | So, two more already. | | | FAL. | Their points beingness broken- | | | POINS. | Down vicious their hose. | | | FAL. | Began to give me ground; just I followed me close, came in, foot and paw, and with a thought seven of the 11 I paid. | | | PRINCE. | O monstrous! Eleven buckram men grown out of ii! | | | FAL. | But, every bit the devil would have it, 3 misbegotten knaves in Kendal dark-green came at my back and let drive at me; for it was so night, Hal, that thou couldst not see thy hand. | | | PRINCE. | These lies are similar their father that begets them- gross every bit a mount, open up, palpable. Why, thou clay-brain'd guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thousand whoreson obscene greasy tallow-catch- | | | FAL. | What, art yard mad? art thou mad? Is not the truth the truth? | | | PRINCE. | Why, how couldst thou know these men in Kendal green when it was then dark thousand couldst not encounter thy hand? Come up, tell united states of america your reason. What sayest thou to this? | | | POINS. | Come, your reason, Jack, your reason. | | | FAL. | What, upon compulsion? Zounds, an I were at the strappado or all the racks in the world, I would not tell you on compulsion. Give you a reason on compulsion? If reasons were every bit plentiful as blackberries, I would give no human being a reason upon compulsion, I. | | | PRINCE. | I'll be no longer guilty, of this sin; this sanguine coward, this bed-presser, this horseback-breaker, this huge hill of flesh- | | | FAL. | 'Sblood, yous starveling, you elf-pare, you dried neat'south-tongue, you balderdash's sizzle, y'all stockfish- O for breath to utter what is like thee!- you lot tailor's yard, you lot sheath, you bowcase, you lot vile standing tuck! | | | PRINCE. | Well, exhale awhile, and and then to information technology over again; and when thou hast tired thyself in base comparisons, hear me speak but this. | | | POINS. | Mark, Jack. | | | PRINCE. | We 2 saw you lot 4 prepare on four, and bound them and were masters of their wealth. Mark now how a plain tale shall put you down. Then did nosotros two attack you four and, with a word, outfac'd you from your prize, and have information technology; yea, and can show it y'all here in the house. And, Falstaff, yous carried your guts away every bit nimbly, with as quick dexterity, and roar'd for mercy, and still run and roar'd, as ever I heard bullcalf. What a slave art thou to hack thy sword as chiliad hast done, and then say it was in fight! What fox, what device, what starting pigsty canst thou at present find out to hide thee from this open and apparent shame? | | | POINS. | Come, let'due south hear, Jack. What trick hast g now? | | | FAL. | By the Lord, I knew ye every bit well as he that made ye. Why, hear you, my masters. Was it for me to kill the heir apparent? Should I turn upon the true prince? Why, thou knowest I am as valiant as Hercules; but beware instinct. The king of beasts will not touch the truthful PRINCE. Instinct is a not bad matter. I was now a coward on instinct. I shall think the better of myself, and thee, during my life- I for a valiant king of beasts, and thou for a true prince. Merely, by the Lord, lads, I am glad y'all have the money. Hostess, clap to the doors. Watch to-night, pray to-morrow. Gallants, lads, boys, hearts of aureate, all the titles of adept fellowship come to you! What, shall we be merry? Shall we take a play extempore? | | | PRINCE. | Content- and the argument shall be thy running away. | | | FAL. | Ah, no more than of that, Hal, an chiliad lovest me! | | Enter Hostess. | HOST. | O Jesu, my lord the Prince! | | | PRINCE. | How now, my lady the hostess? What say'st thou to me? | | | HOST. | Ally, my lord, at that place is a nobleman of the courtroom at door would speak with you. He says he comes from your father. | | | PRINCE. | Requite him as much equally volition make him a royal man, and send him back once more to my mother. | | | FAL. | What manner of human being is he? | | | HOST. | An old man. | | | FAL. | What doth gravity out of his bed at midnight? Shall I give him his answer? | | | PRINCE. | Prithee do, Jack. | | | FAL. | Faith, and I'll send him packing. Get out. | | | PRINCE. | At present, sirs. By'r Lady, you lot fought fair; and so did yous, Peto; so did you, Bardolph. You are lions besides, yous ran away upon instinct, you will not touch the true prince; no- fie! | | | BARD. | Faith, I ran when I saw others run. | | | PRINCE. | Tell me at present in earnest, how came Falstaff's sword so hack'd? | | | PETO. | Why, he hack'd information technology with his dagger, and said he would swear truth out of England but he would make you lot believe it was done in fight, and persuaded us to do the similar. | | | BARD. | Yea, and to tickle our noses with speargrass to make them bleed, and then to beslubber our garments with information technology and swear it was the blood of truthful men. I did that I did not this 7 year before- I blush'd to hear his monstrous devices. | | | PRINCE. | O villain! thou stolest a cup of sack eighteen years ago and wert taken with the manner, and ever since thou hast blush'd extempore. M hadst fire and sword on thy side, and nevertheless thou ran'st away. What instinct hadst thou for it? | | | BARD. | My lord, do you see these meteors? Do you behold these exhalations? | | | PRINCE. | I practise. | | | BARD. | What think you they portend? | | | PRINCE. | Hot livers and cold purses. | | | BARD. | Choler, my lord, if rightly taken. | | | PRINCE. | No, if rightly taken, halter. | | Enter Falstaff. | Here comes lean Jack; here comes bare-bone. How now, my sugariness beast of bombast? How long is't ago, Jack, since m sawest thine ain knee? | | | FAL. | My ain articulatio genus? When I was about thy years, Hal, I was not an eagle's talent in the waist; I could have crept into any alderman's thumb-ring. A plague of sighing and grief! Information technology blows a man up like a float. There's villanous news abroad. Here was Sir John Bracy from your father. You lot must to the courtroom in the morning. That same mad young man of the North, Percy, and he of Wales that gave Amamon the bastinado, and made Match cuckold, and swore the devil his true liegeman upon the cross of a Welsh hook- what a plague call yous him? | | | POINS. | O, Glendower. | | | FAL. | Owen, Owen- the same; and his son-in-police Mortimer, and erstwhile Northumberland, and that sprightly Scot of Scots, Douglas, that runs a-horseback up a colina perpendicular- | | | PRINCE. | He that rides at loftier speed and with his pistol kills a sparrow flight. | | | FAL. | You have striking it. | | | PRINCE. | So did he never the sparrow. | | | FAL. | Well, that rascal hath good metal in him; he will not run. | | | PRINCE. | Why, what a rascal art thou then, to praise him and then for running! | | | FAL. | A-horseback, ye cuckoo! but afoot he will non budge a human foot. | | | PRINCE. | Aye, Jack, upon instinct. | | | FAL. | I grant ye, upon instinct. Well, he is there too, and one Mordake, and a thousand bluecaps more. Worcester is stol'n away to-nighttime; thy father's beard is turn'd white with the news; y'all may buy country now equally cheap every bit stinking mack'rel. | | | PRINCE. | Why then, information technology is like, if in that location come a hot June, and this civil buffeting hold, nosotros shall buy maidenheads as they purchase hobnails, by the hundreds. | | | FAL. | Past the mass, lad, thou sayest true; it is like nosotros shall have good trading that fashion. But tell me, Hal, fine art not thou horrible afeard? 1000 being heir apparent, could the globe pick thee out iii such enemies again as that fiend Douglas, that spirit Percy, and that devil Glendower? Fine art grand non horribly agape? Doth not thy blood thrill at it? | | | PRINCE. | Non a whit, i' organized religion. I lack some of thy instinct. | | | FAL. | Well, thou wilt be horribly chid to-morrow when thousand comest to thy father. If thou love file, practise an answer. | | | PRINCE. | Do m represent my father and examine me upon the particulars of my life. | | | FAL. | Shall I? Content. This chair shall be my state, this dagger my sceptre, and this absorber my, crown. | | | PRINCE. | Thy state is taken for a join'd-stool, thy golden sceptre for a leaden dagger, and thy precious rich crown for a sorry baldheaded crown. | | | FAL. | Well, an the fire of grace be not quite out of thee, now shalt thou be moved. Give me a cup of sack to make my optics expect cherry, that information technology may exist thought I take wept; for I must speak in passion, and I will exercise it in King Cambyses' vein. | | | PRINCE. | Well, here is my leg. | | | FAL. | And here is my voice communication. Stand aside, dignity. | | | HOST. | O Jesu, this is excellent sport, i' faith! | | | FAL. | Cry not, sweet queen, for trickling tears are vain. | | | HOST. | O, the Father, how he holds his countenance! | | | FAL. | For God's sake, lords, convey my tristful queen! For tears do stop the floodgates of her eyes. | | | HOST. | O Jesu, he doth it every bit like one of these harlotry players every bit ever I see! | | | FAL. | Peace, expert pintpot. Peace, good tickle-brain.- Harry, I practice non only marvel where thou spendest thy time, simply likewise how thou art accompanied. For though the camomile, the more it is trodden on, the faster it grows, yet youth, the more information technology is wasted, the sooner information technology wears. That thou fine art my son I have partly thy mother's word, partly my ain opinion, but chiefly a villanous trick of thine middle and a foolish hanging of thy nether lip that doth warrant me. If then thou be son to me, here lies the bespeak: why, being son to me, fine art thou so pointed at? Shall the blessed sun of sky prove a micher and eat blackberries? A question not to be ask'd. Shall the son of England prove a thief and take purses? A question to exist ask'd. At that place is a thing, Harry, which m hast often heard of, and it is known to many in our land by the proper noun of pitch. This pitch, every bit aboriginal writers do report, doth defile; then doth the company grand keepest. For, Harry, now I do not speak to thee in beverage, merely in tears; non in pleasance, just in passion; not in words just, but in woes as well: and yet in that location is a virtuous man whom I take often noted in thy company, but I know not his name. | | | PRINCE. | What fashion of homo, an it like your Majesty? | | | FAL. | A goodly portly man, i' organized religion, and a corpulent; of a cheerful expect, a pleasing eye, and a about noble carriage; and, as I think, his age some fifty, or, by'r Lady, inclining to threescore; and now I remember me, his name is Falstaff. If that man should be lewdly, given, he deceiveth me; for, Harry, I run across virtue in his looks. If then the tree may be known by the fruit, as the fruit past the tree, and then, peremptorily I speak it, there is virtue in that Falstaff. Him continue with, the rest banish. And tell me now, g naughty varlet, tell me where hast thou been this month? | | | PRINCE. | Dost thou speak like a king? Practise g stand for me, and I'll play my father. | | | FAL. | Depose me? If grand dost it half so gravely, so majestically, both in word and matter, hang me upwardly by the heels for a rabbit-sucker or a poulter's hare. | | | PRINCE. | Well, here I am set up. | | | FAL. | And here I stand. Approximate, my masters. | | | PRINCE. | Now, Harry, whence come y'all? | | | FAL. | My noble lord, from Eastcheap. | | | PRINCE. | The complaints I hear of thee are grievous. | | | FAL. | 'Sblood, my lord, they are faux! Nay, I'll tickle ye for a young prince, i' faith. | | | PRINCE. | Swearest thousand, ungracious male child? Henceforth ne'er look on me. Thou art violently carried away from grace. There is a devil haunts thee in the likeness of an old fat man; a tun of homo is thy companion. Why dost grand converse with that body of humours, that bolting hutch of beastliness, that swoll'north package of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that stuff'd cloakbag of guts, that roasted Manningtree ox with the pudding in his abdomen, that reverend vice, that grey iniquity, that male parent ruffian, that vanity in years? Wherein is he practiced, but to gustatory modality sack and drink it? wherein neat and cleanly, but to cleave a capon and eat it? wherein cunning, only in craft? wherein crafty, only in villany? wherein villanous, merely in all things? wherein worthy, but in nothing? | | | FAL. | I would your Grace would have me with you. Whom means your Grace? | | | PRINCE. | That villanous abominable misleader of youth, Falstaff, that one-time white-bearded Satan. | | | FAL. | My lord, the human I know. | | | PRINCE. | I know k dost. | | | FAL. | But to say I know more than harm in him than in myself were to say more than I know. That he is one-time (the more the compassion) his white hairs do witness it; only that he is (saving your reverence) a whoremaster, that I utterly deny. If sack and sugar be a fault, God aid the wicked! If to exist old and merry exist a sin, and so many an onetime host that I know is damn'd. If to be fat exist to exist hated, then Pharaoh'due south lean kine are to be loved. No, my good lord. Blackball Peto, banish Bardolph, banish Poins; but for sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff, valiant Jack Falstaff, and therefore more valiant existence, as he is, old Jack Falstaff, banish non him thy Harry's company, blackball non him thy Harry'southward visitor. Banish plump Jack, and banish all the earth! | | | PRINCE. | I practice, I volition | | [A knocking heard.] [Exeunt Hostess, Francis, and Bardolph.] Enter Bardolph, running. | BARD. | O, my lord, my lord! the sheriff with a most monstrous sentry is at the door. | | | FAL. | Out, ye rogue! Play out the play. I accept much to say in the behalf of that Falstaff. | | Enter the Hostess. | HOST. | O Jesu, my lord, my lord! | | | PRINCE. | Heigh, heigh, the devil rides upon a fiddlestick! What'south the matter? | | | HOST. | The sheriff and all the watch are at the door. They are come to search the house. Shall I allow them in? | | | FAL. | Dost yard hear, Hal? Never telephone call a truthful piece of gold a counterfeit. Thou art essentially mad without seeming so. | | | PRINCE. | And thousand a natural coward without instinct. | | | FAL. | I deny your major. If y'all will deny the sheriff, so; if non, let him enter. If I go not a cart also every bit another homo, a plague on my bringing upwards! I hope I shall equally before long be strangled with a halter as some other. | | | PRINCE. | Go hibernate thee behind the arras. The remainder walk, up above. At present, my masters, for a true face and good censor. | | | FAL. | Both which I have had; simply their appointment is out, and therefore I'll hide me | | Exit. | PRINCE. | Call in the sheriff. | | [Exeunt Manent the Prince and Peto.] Enter Sheriff and the Carrier. | Now, Chief Sheriff, what is your will with me? | | | SHER. | Beginning, pardon me, my lord. A hue and weep Hath followed certain men unto this house. | | | PRINCE. | What men? | | | SHER. | One of them is well known, my gracious lord- A gross fat human. | | | CARRIER. | As fat equally butter. | | | PRINCE. | The human, I do clinch you, is not here, For I myself at this time take employ'd him. And, sheriff, I will engage my word to thee That I volition by to-morrow dinner time Ship him to respond thee, or any man, For anything he shall be charg'd notwithstanding; And so let me entreat you lot go out the house. | | | SHER. | I volition, my lord. There are two gentlemen Accept in this robbery lost three hundred marks. | | | PRINCE. | Information technology may be so. If he accept robb'd these men, He shall be answerable; and then bye. | | | SHER. | Good nighttime, my noble lord. | | | PRINCE. | I recollect it is good morrow, is it not? | | | SHER. | Indeed, my lord, I call back it be two o'clock. | | Leave [with Carrier]. | PRINCE. | This oily rascal is known likewise as Paul's. Go call him along. | | | PETO. | Falstaff! Fast asleep behind the arras, and snorting similar a horse. | | | PRINCE. | Hark how hard he fetches jiff. Search his pockets. | | He searcheth his pockets and findeth sure papers. | What hast yard found? | | | PETO. | Nada but papers, my lord. | | | PRINCE. | Let's see whit they be. Read them. | | | PETO. | [reads] Item. A capon. . . . . . . . . . . . . 2s. 2d. Item, Sauce. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4d. Item, Sack two gallons . . . . . . . . 5s. 8d.

We must all to the wars. and thy place shall be honourable. I'll procure this fat rogue a charge of foot; and I know, his decease will be a march of twelve score. The money shall be paid back again with advantage. Be with me betimes in the morning, and so good morrow, Peto. | | | PETO. | Good morrow, skilful my lord. | | Exeunt. Next | |
