I would you had but the wit: 'twere better than your Dukedom. Good faith, this same young sober-blooded Boy doth not love me, nor a man cannot make him laugh: but that's no marvel, he drinks no Wine. There's never any of these demure Boys come to any proof: for thin Drink doth so over-coole their blood, and making many Fish-Meales, that they fall into a kind of Male Green-sickness: and then, when they marry, they get Wenches. They are generally Fools, and Cowards; which some of us should be too, but for inflammation. A good Sherris-Sack hath a twofold operation in it: it ascends me into the Brain, dries me there all the foolish, and dull, and cruddie Vapours, which environ it: makes it apprehensive, quick, forgetive, full of nimble, fiery, and delectable shapes; which delivered o'er to the Voice, the Tongue, which is the Birth, becomes excellent Wit. The second property of your excellent Sherris, is, the warming of the Blood: which before (cold, and settled) left the Liver white, and pale; which is the Badge of Pusillanimity, and Cowardice: but the Sherris warms it, and makes it course from the inwards, to the parts extremes: it illuminateth the Face, which (as a Beacon) gives warning to all the rest of this little Kingdom (Man) to Arm: and then the Vital Commoners, and inland petty Spirits, muster me all to their Captain, the Heart; who great, and puffed up with his Retinue, doth any Deed of Courage: and this Valour comes of Sherris. So, that skill in the Weapon is nothing, without Sack (for that sets it a-work:) and Learning, a mere Hoord of Gold, kept by a Devil, till Sack commences it, and sets it in act, and use. Hereof comes it, that Prince Harry is valiant: for the cold blood he did naturally inherit of his Father, he hath, like lean, sterile, and bare Land, manured, husbanded, and tylled, with excellent endeavour of drinking good, and good store of fertile Sherris, that he is become very hot, and valiant. If I had a thousand Sons, the first Principle I would teach them, should be to forswear thin Potations, and to addict themselves to Sack. How now Bardolph? The Army is discharged all, and gone. Let them go: I'll through Gloucestershire, and there will I visit Master Robert Shallow, Esquire: I have him already tempering between my finger and my thumb, and shortly will I seal with him. Come away. Now Lords, if Heaven doth give successful end To this Debate that bleedeth at our doors, We will out Youth lead on to higher Fields, And draw no Swords, but what are sanctified. Our Navy is addressed, our Power collected, Our Substitutes, in absence, well invested, And every thing lies level to our wish; Only we want a little personal Strength: And pause us, till these Rebels, now afoot, Come underneath the yoke of Government. Both which we doubt not, but your Majesty Shall soon enjoy. Humphrey (my Son of Gloucester) where is the Prince, your Brother? I think he's gone to hunt (my Lord) at Windsor.

I would you had but the wit: 'twere better then your Dukedome. Good faith, this ſame young ſober-blooded Boy doth no loue me, nor a man cannot make him laugh: but that's no maruaile, hee drinkes no Wine. There's neuer any of theſe demure Boyes come to any proofe: for thinne Drinke doth ſo ouer-coole their blood, and making many Fiſh-Meales, that they fall into a kinde of Male Greene-ſickneſſe: and then, when they marry, they get Wenches. They are generally Fooles, and Cowards; which ſome of vs ſhould be too, but for inflamation. A good Sherris-Sack hath a two-fold operation in it: it aſcends me into the Braine, dryes me there all the fooliſh, and dull, and cruddie Vapours, which enuiron it: makes it apprehenſiue, quicke, forgetiue, full of nimble, fierie, and delectable ſhapes; which deliuer'd o're to the Voyce, the Tongue, which is the Birth, becomes excellent Wit. The ſecond propertie of your excellent Sherris, is, the warming of the Blood: which before (cold, and ſetled) left the Liuer white, and pale; which is the Badge of Puſillanimitie, and Cowardize: but the Sherris warmes it, and makes it courſe from the inwards, to the parts extremes: it illuminateth the Face, which (as a Beacon) giues warning to all the reſt of this little Kingdome (Man) to Arme: and then the Vitall Commoners, and in-land pettie Spirits, muſter me all to their Captaine, the Heart; who great, and pufft vp with his Retinue, doth any Deed of Courage: and this Valour comes of Sherris. So, that skill in the Weapon is nothing, without Sack (for that ſets it a-worke:) and Learning, a meere Hoord of Gold, kept by a Deuill, till Sack commences it, and ſets it in act, and vſe. Hereof comes it, that Prince Harry is valiant: for the cold blood hee did naturally inherite of his Father, hee hath, like leane, ſtirrill, and bare Land, manured, husbanded, and tyll'd, with excellent endeauour of drinking good, and good ſtore of fertile Sherris, that hee is become very hot, and valiant. If I had a thouſand Sonnes, the firſt Principle I would teach them, ſhould be to forſweare thinne Potations, and to addict themſelues to Sack. How now Bardolph? The Armie is diſcharged all, and gone. Let them goe: Ile through Glouceſterſhire, and there will I viſit Maſter Robert Shallow, Eſquire: I haue him alreadie tempering betweene my finger and my thombe, and ſhortly will I ſeale with him. Come away. Now Lords, if Heauen doth giue ſucceſſefull end To this Debate that bleedeth at our doores, Wee will out Youth lead on to higher Fields, And draw no Swords, but what are ſanctify'd. Our Nauie is addreſſed, our Power collected, Our Subſtitutes, in abſence, well inueſted, And euery thing lyes leuell to our wiſh; Onely wee want a little perſonall Strength: And pawſe vs, till theſe Rebels, now a-foot, Come vnderneath the yoake of Gouernment. Both which we doubt not, but your Maieſtie Shall ſoone enioy. Humphrey (my Sonne of Glouceſter) where is the Prince, your Brother? I thinke hee's gone to hunt (my Lord) at Windſor.
