Belike than my appetite was not princely goat, for by my troth, I do now remember the poor creature small beer. But indeed these humble considerations make me out of love with my greatness. What a disgrace is it to me to remember thy name? or to know thy face to morrow? or to take note how many pair of silk stockings thou hast with these, and those that were thy peach coloured once, or to bear the inventory of thy shirts, as one for superfluity, and another for use. But that the Tennis court keeper knows better than I, for it is a low ebb of linen with thee when thou keepest not racket there, as thou hast not done a great while, because the rest of the low Countries have eat up thy holland: and God knows whether those that bal out the ruins of thy linen shall inherit his kingdom: but the Midwines say, the children are not in the fault whereupon the world increases, and kindreds are mightily strengthened. How ill it follows, after you have laboured so hard, you should talk so idly! tell me how many good young princes would do so, their father's being so sick, as yours at this time is. Shall I tell thee one thing Poynes? Yes faith, and let it be an excellent good thing. It shall serve among wits of no higher breeding than thine. Go to, I stand the push of your one thing that you will tell. Mary I tell thee it is not meet that I should be sad now my father is sick, albeit I could tell to thee, as to one it pleases me for fault of a better to call my friend, I could be sad, and sad indeed too. Very hardly, upon such a subject. By this hand, thou thinkest me as far in the devils book, as thou and Falstaff, for obduracy and persistancie, let the end try the man, but I tell thee, my heart bleeds inwardly that my father is so sick, and keeping such vile company as thou art, hath in reason taken from me all ostentation of sorrow. The reason. What wouldst thou think of me if I should weep? I would think thee a most princely hyprocrite. It would be every man's thought, and thou art a blessed fellow, to think as every man thinks, never a man's thought in the world, keeps the road way better than thine, every man would think me an hypocrite indeed, and what accites your most worshipful thought to think so? Why because you have been so lewd and so much engrafted to Falstaff. And to thee. By this light I am well spoke on, I can hear it with mine own ears the worst that they can say of me is that I am a second brother, and that I am a proper fellow of my hands, and those two things I confess I cannot help: by the mass here comes Bardolf.

Belike then my appetite was not princely gote, for by my troth, I do now remember the poor creature smal beere. But indeed these humble considerations make me out of loue with my greatnesse. What a disgrace is it to mee to remember thy name? or to know thy face to morow? or to take note how many paire of silke stockings thou hast with these, and those that were thy peach colourd once, or to beare the inuentorie of thy shirts, as one for superfluitie, and another for vse. But that the Tennis court keeper knows better than I, for it is a low eb of linnen with thee when thou keepest not racket there, as thou hast not done a great while, because the rest of the low Countries haue eate vp thy holland: and God knows whether those that bal out the ruines of thy linnen shal inherite his kingdom: but the Midwines say, the children are not in the fault wherevpon the world increases, and kinreds are mightily strengthened. How ill it followes, after you haue labored so hard, you should talke so ydlely! tell me how many good yong princes woulde doe so, their fathers being so sicke, as yours at this time is. Shall I tel thee one thing Poynes? Yes faith, and let it be an excellent good thing. It shall serue among wittes of no higher breeding then thine. Go to, I stand the push of your one thing that you will tell. Mary I tell thee it is not meete that I should bee sad now my father is sicke, albeit I could tell to thee, as to one it pleases me for fault of a better to call my friend, I could be sad, and sad indeede too. Very hardly, vpon such a subiect. By this hand, thou thinkest me as farre in the diuels booke, as thou and Falstaffe, for obduracie and persistancie, let the end trie the man, but I tel thee, my heart bleeds inwardly that my father is so sick, and keeping such vile company as thou arte, hath in reason taken from me all ostentation of sorrowe. The reason. What wouldst thou thinke of me if I should weep? I woulde thincke thee a most princely hyprocrite. It would bee euery mans thought, and thou arte a blessed felow, to thinke as euery man thinkes, neuer a mans thought in the world, keepes the rode way better then thine, euerie man would thinke me an hypocrite indeede, and what accites your most worshipfull thought to thinke so? Why because you haue been so lewd and so much engraffed to Falstaffe. And to thee. By this light I am well spoke on, I can heare it with mine owne ares the worst that they can say of me is that I am a second brother, and that I am a proper fellow of my hands, and those two things I confesse I cannot helpe: by the masse here comes Bardole.
