I deny your Mayor, if you will deny the Sheriff so, if not, let him enter. If I become not a Cart as well as another man a plague on my bringing up, I hope I shall as soon be strangled with a halter as another. Go hide thee behind the Arras, the rest walk up above, now my masters for a true face, and good conscience. Both which I have had, but their date is out, and therefore i'll hide me. Call in the Sheriff. Now master Sheriff, what is your will with me? First pardon me my Lord. A hue and cry hath followed certain men unto this house. What men? One of them is well known my gracious Lord, a gross fat man. As fat as butter. The man I do assure you is not here, For I myself at this time have employed him. And Sheriff, I will engage my word to thee, That I will by to morrow dinner time Send him to answer thee or any man, For any thing he shall be charged withal, And so let me entreat you leave the house. I will my Lord: there are two gentlemen Have in this robbery lost 300. marks. It may be so: if he have robbed these men He shall be answerable and so far well. God night my noble Lord. I think it is god morrow is it not? Indeed my Lord I think it be two a clock. This oily rascal is known as well as Paul's: go call him forth. Falstalffe: fast asleep behind the Arras, and snorting like a horse. Hark how hard he fetches breath, search his pockets. What hast thou found? Nothing but papers my Lord. Let's see what they be, read them. Item a capon. 2. s, two, d. Item sauce. iiij, d. Item sack two gallons. v. s, viii, d. Item anchaves and sack after supper. 2, s, uj, d. Item bread. ob. O monstrous! but one half pennyworth of bread to this intolerable deal of sack? what there is else keep close, we'll read it at more advantage; there let him sleep till day, i'll to the court in the morning. 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 death 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. Good morrow good my Lord. These promises are fair, the parties sure, Lord Mortimer, and cousin Glendower will you sit down? and Uncle Worcester; a plague upon it I have forgot the map. No here it is; sit Cousin Percy, sit good Cousin Hotspur, for by that name as oft as Lancaster doth speak of you, his cheek looks pale, and with a rising sigh he wisheth you in heaven.
