It is best certain: but to stand stained with travail, and sweeting with desire to see him, thinking of nothing else, putting 〈◊〉 affairs else in oblivion, as if there were nothing else to be done, but to see him. 'tis semper idem, for, obsque hoc nihil est, 'tis in every part. 'tis so indeed. My Knight, I will inflame thy noble liver, and make thee rage, thy Dol, and Helen of thy noble thoughts, is in base durance, and contagious prison, halde thither by most mechanical, and dirty hand: rouse up revenge from Ebon den, with fell Alectoesnake, for Doll is in: Pistol speaks nought but truth. I will deliver her. There roared the sea, and trumpet Clang or sounds. God save thy grace King Hall, my royal Hall. The heavens thee guard and keep, most royal ●mpe of feign. God save thee, my sweet boy. My Lord chief justice, speak to that vain man. Have you your wits? know you what 'tis you speak? My King my Ioue, I speak to thee, my heart. I know thee not old man, fall to thy prayers, How ill white heirs becomes a fool and jester, I have long dreamt of such a kind of man, So surfet-sweld, so old, and so profane: But being awaked, I do despise my dream, Make less thy body (hence) and more thy grace, Leave gormandizing know the grave doth gape For thee, thrice wider then for other men, Reply not to me with a foole-borne jest, Presume not that I am the thing I was, For God doth know, so shall the world perceive, That I have turned away my former self, So will I those that kept me company: When thou dost hear I am as I have been, Approach me, and thou shalt be as thou wast, The tutor and the feeder of my riots: Till than I banish thee on pain of death, As I have done the rest of my misleaders, Not to come near our person by ten mile: For competence of life, I will allow you, That lack of means enforce you not to evils, And as we hear you do reform yourselves, We will according to your strengths and qualities, Give you advancement. Be it your charge, my lord, To see performed the tenure of my word: set on. Master Shallow I owe you a thousand pound. Yea mary sir Iohn, which I beseech you to let me have home with me. That can hardly be, master Shallow: do not you grieve at this, I shall be sent for in private to him, look you, he must seem thus to the world: fear not your advauncements, I will be the man yet that shall make you great. I cannot perceive how, unless you give me your doublet, and stuff me out with straw: I beseech you good sir Iohn let me have five hundred of my thousand.
