Thou art a very ragged Wart. Shall I prick him down, Sir Iohn? It were superfluous: for his apparel is built upon his back, and the whole frame stands upon pins: prick him no more. Ha', ha', ha', you can do it sir: you can do it: I commend you well. here sir. What Trade art thou Feeble? A Woman's Tailor sir. Shall I prick him, sir? You may: But if he had been a man's Tailor, he would have pricked you. Wilt thou make as many holes in an enemy's Battle, as thou hast done in a Woman's petticoat? I will do my good will sir, you can have no more. Well said, good Woman's Tailor: Well said Courageous Feeble: thou wilt be as valiant as the wrathful Dove, or most magnanimous Mouse. Prick the woman's Tailor well Master Shallow, deep Master Shallow. I would Wart might have gone sir. I would thou wert a man's Tailor, that thou mightst mend him, and make him fit to go. I cannot put him to a private soldier, that is the Leader of so many thousands. Let that suffice, most Forcible Feeble. It shall suffice. I am bound to thee, reverend Feeble. Who is the next? Peter Bulcalfe of the Greene. Yea marry, let us see Bulcalfe. here sir. Trust me, a likely Fellow. Come, prick me Bulcalfe till he roar again. Oh, good my Lord Captain. What? dost thou roar before th' art pricked. Oh sir, I am a diseased man. What disease hast thou? A whoreson cold sir, a cough sir, which I caught with Ringing in the King's affairs, upon his Coronation day, sir. Come, thou shalt go to the Wars in a Gown: we will have away thy Cold, and I will take such order, that thy friends shall ring for thee. Is here all? There is two more called than your number: you must have but four here sir, and so I pray you go in with me to dinner. Come, I will go drink with you, but I cannot tarry dinner. I am glad to see you in good troth, Master Shallow. O sir Iohn, do you remember since we lay all night in the Windmill, in S George's Field. No more of that good Master Shallow: No more of that. Ha'? it was a merry night. And is Iane Nightwork alive? She lives, M. Shallow. She never could away with me. Never, never: she would always say she could not abide M. Shallow. I could anger her to the heart: she was then a Bona-Roba. Doth she hold her own well. Old, old, M. Shallow. Nay, she must be old, she cannot choose but be old: certain she's old: and had Robin Nightwork, by old Nightwork, before I came to Clement's Inn. That's fifty five years ago. Ha, Cousin Silence, that thou hadst seen that, that this Knight and I have seen: hah, Sir Iohn, said I well? We have heard the Chymes at midnight, Master Shallow.
