Nay but hark you Frances, for the sugar thou gavest me, ttwas a pennyworth, wast not? O Lord, I would it had been two. I will give thee for it a thousand pound, ask me when thou wilt, and thou shalt have it, Frances. Anon, anon. Anon Frances, no Frances, but to morrow Frances: or Frances a Thursday; or indeed Frances when thou wilt. But Frances. My Lord. Wilt thou rob this leathern jerkin, crystal button, non-pated, agate ring, puke stocking, Caddice garter, smooth tongue, spanish pouch? O Lord sir, who do you mean? Why then your brown bastard is your only drink? for look you Frances, your white canvas doublet will fulley. In Barbary sir, it cannot come to so much. What sir? Frances. Away you rogue, dost thou not hear them call. What stand'st thou still and hearst such a calling: look to the guests within. My Lord, old sir Iohn with half a dozen more are at the door, shall I let them in? Let them alone a while, and then open the door: Poines. Anon, anon sir. Sirrah, Falstalffe and the rest of the thieves are at the door, shall we be merry? As merry as Crickets my lad, but hark ye, what cunning match have you made with this jest of the Drawer: come what's the issue? I am now of all humours, that have showed themselves humours since the old days of good man Adam, to the pupil age of this present twelve a clock at midnight. What's a clock Frances? Anon, anon sir. That ever this fellow should have fewer words than a Parrot, and yet the son of a woman. His industry is up stairs and down stairs, his eloquence the parcel of a reckoning. I am not yet of Percy's mind, the Hotspur of the North, he that kills me some six or seven 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 killed to day? Give my roane horse a drench (says he) and answers some fourteen an hour after: a trifle, a trifle. I prithee call in Falstalffe, i'll play Percy, and that damned brawn shall play dame Mortimer his wife. Rivo says the drunkard: call in Ribs, call in Tallow. Welcome Iacke, where hast thou been? A plague of all cowards I say, and a vengeance too, marry and Amen: give me a cup of sack boy. Ear Head this life long i'll sow neatherstocks and mend them, and foot them too. A plague of all cowards. Give me a cup of sache rogue, is there no virtue extant? Didst thou never see Titan kiss a dish of butter, pitiful hearted Titan that melted at the sweet tale of the sons, if thou didst, then behold that compound.
