Let him be damned like the glutton, pray God his tongue be hotter, a whoreson A chitophella rascal: yea forsooth knave, to bear a gentle man in hand, and then stand upon security, the whoreson smoothy-pates do now wear nothing but high shoes and bunches of keys at their girdles, and if a man is through with them in honest taking up, than they must stand upon security, I had as live they would put ratsbane in my mouth as offer to stop it with security, I looked a should have sent me two and twenty yards of satin (as I am a true knight,) and he sends me security: well he may sleep in security, for he hath the horn of abundance, and the lightness of his wife shines through it: where's Bardolf, & yet can not he see though he have his own lantern to light him. he's gone in Smithfield to buy your worship a horse. I bought him in Paul's, and he'll buy me a horse in Smithfield, and I could get me but a wife in the stews, I were man●d, horsde, and wiued. Sir, here comes the noble man that committed the prince for striking him about Bardolfe. Wait close, I will not see him. What's he that goes there? Falstaffe and't please your lordship. He that was in question for the rob'ry? He my Lord, but he hath since done good service at Shrewsbury, & (as! hear,) is now going with some charge to the lord Iohn of Lancaster. What to York? call him back again. Sir Iohn Falstaff. Boy, tell him I am deaf. You must speak louder, my master is deaf. I am sure he is to the hearing of any thing good, go pluck him by the elbow, I must speak with him. Sir Iohn? What? a young knave and begging? is there not wars? is there not employment? doth not the King lack subjects? do not the rebels need soldiers, though it be a shame to be on any side but one, it is worse shame to beg then to be on the worst side, were it worse than the name of Rebellion can tell how to make it. You mistake me sir. Why sir, did I say you were an honest man, setting my knighthood and my soldiership aside, I had lied in my throat if I had said so. I pray you sir then set your knighthood, and your soldiership aside, and give me leave to tell you, you lie in your throat, if you say I am any other than an honest man. I give thee leave to tell me, so I lay aside that which grows to me, if thou getst any leave of me, hang me, if thou tak'st leave, thou wert better be hanged, you hunt counter, hence, avaunt. Sir, my Lord would speak with you.
