A colour I fear, that you will dye, in Sir Iohn. Fear no colours, go with me to dinner: Come Lieutenant Pistol, come Bardolfe, I shall be sent for soon at night. Go carry Sir Iohn Falstaff to the Fleet, Take all his Company along with him. My Lord, my Lord. I cannot now speak, I will hear you soon: Take them away. Si fortuna me tormento, spera me contento. I like this fair proceeding of the Kings: He hath intent his wont Followers Shall all be very well provided for: But all are banished, till their conversations Appear more wise, and modest to the world. And so they are. The King hath called his Parliament, My Lord. He hath. I will lay odds, that ere this year expire, We bear our Civil Swords, and Native fire As far as France. I hear a Bird so sing, Whose Music (to my thinking) pleased the King. Come, will you hence? FIRST, my Fear: then, my Curtsy: last, my Speech. My Fear, is your Displeasure: My Curtsy, my Duty: And my speech, to Beg your Pardons. If you look for a good speech now, you undo me: For what I have to say, is of mine own making: and what (indeed) I should say, will (I doubt) prove mine own marring. But to the Purpose, and so to the Venture. Be it known to you (as it is very well) I was lately here in the end of a displeasing Play, to pray your Patience for it, and to promise you a Better: I did mean (indeed) to pay you with this, which if (like an ill Venture) it come unluckily home, I break; and you, my gentle Creditors lose. here I promised you I would be, and here I commit my Body to your Mercies: Bate me some, and I will-pay you some, and (as most Debtors do) promise you infinitely. If my Tongue cannot entreat you to acquit me: will you command me to use my Legs? And yet that were but light payment, to Dance out of your debt: But a good Conscience, will make any possible satisfaction, and so will I. All the Gentlewomen here, have forgiven me, if the Gentlemen will not, than the Gentlemen do not agree with the gentlewomen, which was never seen before, in such an Assembly. One word more, I beseech you: if you be not too much cloyed with Fat Meat, our humble Author will continue the Story (with Sir Iohn in it) and make you merry, with fair Katherine of France: where (for any thing I know) Falstaff shall dye of a sweat, unless already he be killed with your hard Opinions: For Oldcastle died a Martyr, and this is not the man. My Tongue is weary, when my Legs are too, I will bid you good night; and so kneel down before you: But (indeed) to pray for the Queen.

A colour I feare, that you will dye, in Sir Iohn. Feare no colours, go with me to dinner: Come Lieutenant Pistol, come Bardolfe, I ſhall be ſent for ſoone at night. Go carry Sir Iohn Falſtaffe to the Fleete, Take all his Company along with him. My Lord, my Lord. I cannot now ſpeake, I will heare you ſoone: Take them away. Si fortuna me tormento, ſpera me contento. I like this faire proceeding of the Kings: He hath intent his wonted Followers Shall all be very well prouided for: But all are baniſht, till their conuerſations Appeare more wiſe, and modeſt to the world. And ſo they are. The King hath call'd his Parliament, My Lord. He hath. I will lay oddes, that ere this yeere expire, We beare our Ciuill Swords, and Natiue fire As farre as France. I heare a Bird ſo ſing, Whoſe Muſicke (to my thinking) pleas'd the King. Come, will you hence? FIRST, my Feare: then, my Curtſie: last, my Speech. My Feare, is your Displeaſure: My Curtſie, my Dutie: And my speech, to Begge your Pardons. If you looke for a good speech now, you vndoe me: For what I haue to ſay, is of mine owne making: and what (indeed) I ſhould ſay, will (I doubt) prooue mine owne marring. But to the Purpoſe, and ſo to the Venture. Be it knowne to you (as it is very well) I was lately heere in the end of a displeaſing Play, to pray your Patience for it, and to promiſe you a Better: I did meane (indeede) to pay you with this, which if (like an ill Venture) it come vnluckily home, I breake; and you, my gentle Creditors loſe. Heere I promiſt you I would be, and heere I commit my Bodie to your Mercies: Bate me ſome, and I will-pay you ſome, and (as moſt Debtors do) promiſe you infinitely. If my Tongue cannot entreate you to acquit me: will you command me to vſe my Legges? And yet that were but light payment, to Dance out of your debt: But a good Conſcience, will make any poſsible ſatisfaction, and ſo will I. All the Gentlewomen heere, haue forgiuen me, if the Gentlemen will not, then the Gentlemen do not agree with the Gentlewowen, which was neuer ſeene before, in ſuch an Aſſembly. One word more, I beſeech you: if you be not too much cloid with Fat Meate, our humble Author will continue the Story (with Sir Iohn in it) and make you merry, with faire Katherine of France: where (for any thing I know) Falſtaffe ſhall dye of a ſweat, vnleſſe already he be kill'd with your hard Opinions: For Old-Caſtle dyed a Martyr, and this is not the man. My Tongue is wearie, when my Legs are too, I will bid you good night; and ſo kneele downe before you: But (indeed) to pray for the Queene.
