purpose to Jerusalem。 Cousin; on Wednesday next our council we Will
hold at Windsor。 So inform the lords; But come yourself with speed to us
again; For more is to be said and to be done Than out of anger can be
uttered。 West。 I will my liege。 Exeunt。

KING HENRY THE FOURTH Part 1
SCENE II。 London。 An apartment of the Prince's。
Enter Prince of Wales and Sir John Falstaff。
Fal。 Now; Hal; what time of day is it; lad? Prince。 Thou art so fat…
witted with drinking of old sack; and unbuttoning thee after supper; and
sleeping upon benches after noon; that thou hast forgotten to demand that
truly which thou wouldest truly know。 What a devil hast thou to do with
the time of the day; Unless hours were cups of sack; and minutes capons;
and clocks the tongues of bawds; and dials the signs of leaping houses;
and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame…coloured taffeta; I
see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand the time of
the day。 Fal。 Indeed you come near me now; Hal; for we that take purses
go by the moon And the seven stars; and not by Phoebus; he; that
wand'ring knight so fair。 And I prithee; sweet wag; when thou art king; as;
God save thy Grace…Majesty I should say; for grace thou wilt have none…
Prince。 What; none? Fal。 No; by my troth; not so much as will serve to be
prologue to an egg and butter。 Prince。 Well; how then? Come; roundly;
roundly。 Fal。 Marry; then; sweet wag; when thou art king; let not us that
are squires of the night's body be called thieves of the day's beauty。 Let us
be Diana's Foresters; Gentlemen of the Shade; Minions of the Moon; and
let men say we be men of good government; being governed as the sea is;
by our noble and chaste mistress the moon; under whose countenance we
steal。 Prince。 Thou sayest well; and it holds well too; for the fortune of us
that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea; being governed; as
the sea is; by the moon。 As; for proof now: a purse of gold most resolutely
snatch'd on Monday night and most dissolutely spent on Tuesday morning;
got with swearing 'Lay by;' and spent with crying 'Bring in'; now ill as low
an ebb as the foot of the ladder; and by…and…by in as high a flow as the
ridge of the gallows。 Fal。 By the Lord; thou say'st true; lad… and is not my
hostess of the tavern a most sweet wench? Prince。 As the honey of Hybla;
my old lad of the castle… and is not a buff jerkin a most sweet robe of
durance? Fal。 How now; how now; mad wag? What; in thy quips and thy
quiddities? What a plague have I to do with a buff jerkin? Prince。 Why;
what a pox have I to do with my hostess of the tavern? Fal。 Well; thou hast

call'd her to a reckoning many a time and oft。 Prince。 Did I ever call for
thee to pay thy part? Fal。 No; I'll give thee thy due; thou hast paid all there。
Prince。 Yea; and elsewhere; so far as my coin would stretch; and where it
would not; I have used my credit。 Fal。 Yea; and so us'd it that; were it not
here apparent that thou art heir apparent… But I prithee; sweet wag; shall
there be gallows standing in England when thou art king? and resolution
thus fubb'd as it is with the rusty curb of old father antic the law? Do not
thou; when thou art king; hang a thief。 Prince。 No; thou shalt。 Fal。 Shall I?
O rare! By the Lord; I'll be a brave judge。 Prince。 Thou judgest false
already。 I mean; thou shalt have the hanging of the thieves and so become
a rare hangman。 Fal。 Well; Hal; well; and in some sort it jumps with my
humour as well as waiting in the court; I can tell you。 Prince。 For
obtaining of suits? Fal。 Yea; for obtaining of suits; whereof the hangman
hath no lean wardrobe。 'Sblood; I am as melancholy as a gib…cat or a
lugg'd bear。 Prince。 Or an old lion; or a lover's lute。 Fal。 Yea; or the drone
of a Lincolnshire bagpipe。 Prince。 What sayest thou to a hare; or the
melancholy of Moor Ditch? Fal。 Thou hast the most unsavoury similes;
and art indeed the most comparative; rascalliest; sweet young prince。 But;
Hal; I prithee trouble me no more with vanity。 I would to God thou and I
knew where a commodity of good names were to be bought。 An old lord
of the Council rated me the other day in the street about you; sir; but I
mark'd him not; and yet he talked very wisely; but I regarded him not; and
yet he talk'd wisely; and in the street too。 Prince。 Thou didst well; for
wisdom cries out in the streets; and no man regards it。 Fal。 O; thou hast
damnable iteration; and art indeed able to corrupt a saint。 Thou hast done
much harm upon me; Hal… God forgive thee for it! Before I knew thee; Hal;
I knew nothing; and now am I; if a man should speak truly; little better
than one of the wicked。 I must give over this life; and I will give it over!
By the Lord; an I do not; I am a villain! I'll be damn'd for never a king's
son in Christendom。 Prince。 Where shall we take a purse tomorrow; Jack?
Fal。 Zounds; where thou wilt; lad! I'll make one。 An I do not; call me
villain and baffle me。 Prince。 I see a good amendment of life in thee… from
praying to purse…taking。 Fal。 Why; Hal; 'tis my vocation; Hal。 'Tis no sin
for a man to labour in his vocation。

KING HENRY THE FOURTH Part 1
Enter Poins。
Poins! Now shall we know if Gadshill have set a match。 O; if men
were to be saved by merit; what hole in hell were hot enough for him?
This is the most omnipotent villain that ever cried 'Stand!' to a true man。
Prince。 Good morrow; Ned。 Poins。 Good morrow; sweet Hal。 What says
Monsieur Remorse? What
says Sir John Sack and Sugar? Jack; how agrees the devil and thee
about thy soul; that thou soldest him on Good Friday last for a cup of
Madeira and a cold capon's leg? Prince。 Sir John stands to his word; the
devil shall have his bargain; for he was never yet a breaker of proverbs。
He will give the devil his due。 Poins。 Then art thou damn'd for keeping thy
word with the devil。 Prince。 Else he had been
