| <i>Enter the PRINCE OF WALES and FALSTAFF</i> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech1><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>Now, Hal, what time of day is it, lad?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=2>Thou art so fat-witted, with drinking of old sack</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=3>and unbuttoning thee after supper and sleeping upon</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>benches after noon, that thou hast forgotten to</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>demand that truly which thou wouldst truly know.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=6>What a devil hast thou to do with the time of the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>day? Unless hours were cups of sack and minutes</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>capons and clocks the tongues of bawds and dials the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>signs of leaping-houses and the blessed sun himself</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>a fair hot wench in flame-coloured taffeta, I see no</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>the time of the day.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=13>Indeed, you come near me now, Hal; for we that take</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>purses go by the moon and the seven stars, and not</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=15>by Phoebus, he,'that wandering knight so fair.' And,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>I prithee, sweet wag, when thou art king, as, God</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>save thy grace,--majesty I should say, for grace</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>thou wilt have none,--</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech4><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=19>What, none?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech5><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=20>No, by my troth, not so much as will serve to</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>prologue to an egg and butter.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech6><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=22>Well, how then? come, roundly, roundly.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech7><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=23>Marry, then, sweet wag, when thou art king, let not</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=24>us that are squires of the night's body be called</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=25>thieves of the day's beauty: let us be Diana's</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=26>foresters, gentlemen of the shade, minions of the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=27>moon; and let men say we be men of good government,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=28>being governed, as the sea is, by our noble and</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>chaste mistress the moon, under whose countenance we steal.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech8><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=30>Thou sayest well, and it holds well too; for the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=31>fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=32>flow like the sea, being governed, as the sea is,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=33>by the moon. As, for proof, now: a purse of gold</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=34>most resolutely snatched on Monday night and most</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=35>dissolutely spent on Tuesday morning; got with</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=36>swearing 'Lay by' and spent with crying 'Bring in;'</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=37>now in as low an ebb as the foot of the ladder</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=38>and by and by in as high a flow as the ridge of the gallows.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech9><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=39>By the Lord, thou sayest true, lad. And is not my</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=40>hostess of the tavern a most sweet wench?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech10><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=41>As the honey of Hybla, my old lad of the castle. And</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=42>is not a buff jerkin a most sweet robe of durance?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech11><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=43>How now, how now, mad wag! what, in thy quips and</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=44>thy quiddities? what a plague have I to do with a</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=45>buff jerkin?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech12><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=46>Why, what a pox have I to do with my hostess of the tavern?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech13><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=47>Well, thou hast called her to a reckoning many a</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=48>time and oft.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech14><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=49>Did I ever call for thee to pay thy part?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech15><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=50>No; I'll give thee thy due, thou hast paid all there.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech16><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=51>Yea, and elsewhere, so far as my coin would stretch;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=52>and where it would not, I have used my credit.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech17><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=53>Yea, and so used it that were it not here apparent</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=54>that thou art heir apparent--But, I prithee, sweet</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=55>wag, shall there be gallows standing in England when</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=56>thou art king? and resolution thus fobbed as it is</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=57>with the rusty curb of old father antic the law? Do</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=58>not thou, when thou art king, hang a thief.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech18><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=59>No; thou shalt.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech19><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=60>Shall I? O rare! By the Lord, I'll be a brave judge.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech20><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=61>Thou judgest false already: I mean, thou shalt have</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=62>the hanging of the thieves and so become a rare hangman.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech21><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=63>Well, Hal, well; and in some sort it jumps with my</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=64>humour as well as waiting in the court, I can tell</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=65>you.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech22><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=66>For obtaining of suits?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech23><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=67>Yea, for obtaining of suits, whereof the hangman</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=68>hath no lean wardrobe. 'Sblood, I am as melancholy</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=69>as a gib cat or a lugged bear.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech24><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=70>Or an old lion, or a lover's lute.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech25><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=71>Yea, or the drone of a Lincolnshire bagpipe.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech26><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=72>What sayest thou to a hare, or the melancholy of</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=73>Moor-ditch?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech27><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=74>Thou hast the most unsavoury similes and art indeed</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=75>the most comparative, rascalliest, sweet young</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=76>prince. But, Hal, I prithee, trouble me no more</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=77>with vanity. I would to God thou and I knew where a</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=78>commodity of good names were to be bought. An old</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=79>lord of the council rated me the other day in the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=80>street about you, sir, but I marked him not; and yet</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=81>he talked very wisely, but I regarded him not; and</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=82>yet he talked wisely, and in the street too.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech28><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=83>Thou didst well; for wisdom cries out in the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=84>streets, and no man regards it.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech29><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=85>O, thou hast damnable iteration and art indeed able</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=86>to corrupt a saint. Thou hast done much harm upon</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=87>me, Hal; God forgive thee for it! Before I knew</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=88>thee, Hal, I knew nothing; and now am I, if a man</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=89>should speak truly, little better than one of the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=90>wicked. I must give over this life, and I will give</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=91>it over: by the Lord, and I do not, I am a villain:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=92>I'll be damned for never a king's son in</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=93>Christendom.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech30><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=94>Where shall we take a purse tomorrow, Jack?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech31><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=95>'Zounds, where thou wilt, lad; I'll make one; an I</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=96>do not, call me villain and baffle me.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech32><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=97>I see a good amendment of life in thee; from praying</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=98>to purse-taking.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech33><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=99>Why, Hal, 'tis my vocation, Hal; 'tis no sin for a</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=100>man to labour in his vocation.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Enter POINS</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=101>Poins! Now shall we know if Gadshill have set a</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=102>match. O, if men were to be saved by merit, what</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=103>hole in hell were hot enough for him? This is the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=104>most omnipotent villain that ever cried 'Stand' to</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=105>a true man.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech34><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=106>Good morrow, Ned.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech35><b>POINS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=107>Good morrow, sweet Hal. What says Monsieur Remorse?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=108>what says Sir John Sack and Sugar? Jack! how</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=109>agrees the devil and thee about thy soul, that thou</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=110>soldest him on Good-Friday last for a cup of Madeira</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=111>and a cold capon's leg?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech36><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=112>Sir John stands to his word, the devil shall have</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=113>his bargain; for he was never yet a breaker of</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=114>proverbs: he will give the devil his due.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech37><b>POINS</b></a> | |

| <A NAME=115>Then art thou damned for keeping thy word with the devil.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech38><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=116>Else he had been damned for cozening the devil.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech39><b>POINS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=117>But, my lads, my lads, to-morrow morning, by four</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=119>to Canterbury with rich offerings, and traders</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=120>riding to London with fat purses: I have vizards</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=121>for you all; you have horses for yourselves:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=122>Gadshill lies to-night in Rochester: I have bespoke</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=123>supper to-morrow night in Eastcheap: we may do it</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=124>as secure as sleep. If you will go, I will stuff</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=125>your purses full of crowns; if you will not, tarry</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=126>at home and be hanged.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |

| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=127>Hear ye, Yedward; if I tarry at home and go not,</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=131>Who, I rob? I a thief? not I, by my faith.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech44><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=132>There's neither honesty, manhood, nor good</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=134>royal, if thou darest not stand for ten shillings.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech45><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=135>Well then, once in my days I'll be a madcap.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech46><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=136>Why, that's well said.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech47><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=137>Well, come what will, I'll tarry at home.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech48><b>FALSTAFF</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=138>By the Lord, I'll be a traitor then, when thou art king.</A><br> | |

| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=140>Sir John, I prithee, leave the prince and me alone:</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=142>that he shall go.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |

| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=143>Well, God give thee the spirit of persuasion and him</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=145>move and what he hears may be believed, that the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=146>true prince may, for recreation sake, prove a false</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=147>thief; for the poor abuses of the time want</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=160>our pleasure to fail, and then will they adventure</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=161>upon the exploit themselves; which they shall have</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=201>And like bright metal on a sullen ground,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=202>My reformation, glittering o'er my fault,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=203>Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=204>Than that which hath no foil to set it off.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=205>I'll so offend, to make offence a skill;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=206>Redeeming time when men think least I will.</A><br> | |
