Fal. There's neither honesty, manhood, nor good fellowship

in thee, nor thou cam'st not of the blood-royall,

if thou dar'st not stand for ten shillings

Prin. Well then, once in my dayes Ile be a mad-cap

Fal. Why, that's well said

Prin. Well, come what will, Ile tarry at home

Fal. Ile be a Traitor then, when thou art King

Prin. I care not

Poyn. Sir Iohn, I prythee leaue the Prince & me alone,

I will lay him downe such reasons for this aduenture, that

he shall go

Fal. Well, maist thou haue the Spirit of perswasion;

and he the eares of profiting, that what thou speakest,

may moue; and what he heares may be beleeued, that the

true Prince, may (for recreation sake) proue a false theefe;

for the poore abuses of the time, want countenance. Farwell,

you shall finde me in Eastcheape

Prin. Farwell the latter Spring. Farewell Alhollown

Summer

Poy. Now, my good sweet Hony Lord, ride with vs

to morrow. I haue a iest to execute, that I cannot mannage

alone. Falstaffe, Haruey, Rossill, and Gads-hill, shall

robbe those men that wee haue already way-layde, your

selfe and I, wil not be there: and when they haue the booty,

if you and I do not rob them, cut this head from my

shoulders

Prin. But how shal we part with them in setting forth?

Poyn. Why, we wil set forth before or after them, and

appoint them a place of meeting, wherin it is at our pleasure

to faile; and then will they aduenture vppon the exploit

themselues, which they shall haue no sooner atchieued,

but wee'l set vpon them

Prin. I, but tis like that they will know vs by our

horses, by our habits, and by euery other appointment to

be our selues

Poy. Tut our horses they shall not see, Ile tye them in

the wood, our vizards wee will change after wee leaue

them: and sirrah, I haue Cases of Buckram for the nonce,

to immaske our noted outward garments

Prin. But I doubt they will be too hard for vs

Poin. Well, for two of them, I know them to bee as

true bred Cowards as euer turn'd backe: and for the third

if he fight longer then he sees reason, Ile forswear Armes.

The vertue of this Iest will be, the incomprehensible lyes

that this fat Rogue will tell vs, when we meete at Supper:

how thirty at least he fought with, what Wardes, what

blowes, what extremities he endured; and in the reproofe

of this, lyes the iest

Prin. Well, Ile goe with thee, prouide vs all things

necessary, and meete me to morrow night in Eastcheape,

there Ile sup. Farewell

Poyn. Farewell, my Lord.

Exit Pointz

Prin. I know you all, and will a-while vphold

The vnyoak'd humor of your idlenesse:

Yet heerein will I imitate the Sunne,

Who doth permit the base contagious cloudes

To smother vp his Beauty from the world,

That when he please againe to be himselfe,

Being wanted, he may be more wondred at,

By breaking through the foule and vgly mists

Of vapours, that did seeme to strangle him.

If all the yeare were playing holidaies,

To sport, would be as tedious as to worke;

But when they seldome come, they wisht-for come,

And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.

So when this loose behauiour I throw off,

And pay the debt I neuer promised;

By how much better then my word I am,

By so much shall I falsifie mens hopes,

And like bright Mettall on a sullen ground:

My reformation glittering o're my fault,

Shall shew more goodly, and attract more eyes,

Then that which hath no foyle to set it off.

Ile so offend, to make offence a skill,

Redeeming time, when men thinke least I will.

Scoena Tertia.

Enter the King, Northumberland, Worcester, Hotspurre, Sir Walter

Blunt,

and others.

King. My blood hath beene too cold and temperate,

Vnapt to stirre at these indignities,

And you haue found me; for accordingly,

You tread vpon my patience: But be sure,

I will from henceforth rather be my Selfe,

Mighty, and to be fear'd, then my condition

Which hath beene smooth as Oyle, soft as yong Downe,

And therefore lost that Title of respect,

Which the proud soule ne're payes, but to the proud

Wor. Our house (my Soueraigne Liege) little deserues

The scourge of greatnesse to be vsed on it,

And that same greatnesse too, which our owne hands

Haue holpe to make so portly

Nor. My Lord

King. Worcester get thee gone: for I do see

Danger and disobedience in thine eye.

O sir, your presence is too bold and peremptory,

And Maiestie might neuer yet endure

The moody Frontier of a seruant brow,

You haue good leaue to leaue vs. When we need

Your vse and counsell, we shall send for you.

You were about to speake

North. Yea, my good Lord.

Those Prisoners in your Highnesse demanded,

Which Harry Percy heere at Holmedon tooke,

Were (as he sayes) not with such strength denied

As was deliuered to your Maiesty:

Who either through enuy, or misprision,

Was guilty of this fault; and not my Sonne

Hot. My Liege, I did deny no Prisoners.

But, I remember when the fight was done,

When I was dry with Rage, and extreame Toyle,

Breathlesse, and Faint, leaning vpon my Sword,

Came there a certaine Lord, neat and trimly drest;

Fresh as a Bride-groome, and his Chin new reapt,

Shew'd like a stubble Land at Haruest home.

He was perfumed like a Milliner,

And 'twixt his Finger and his Thumbe, he held

A Pouncet-box: which euer and anon

He gaue his Nose, and took't away againe:

Who therewith angry, when it next came there,

Tooke it in Snuffe. And still he smil'd and talk'd:

And as the Souldiers bare dead bodies by,

He call'd them vntaught Knaues, Vnmannerly,

To bring a slouenly vnhandsome Coarse

Betwixt the Winde, and his Nobility.

With many Holiday and Lady tearme

He question'd me: Among the rest, demanded

My Prisoners, in your Maiesties behalfe.

I then, all-smarting, with my wounds being cold,

(To be so pestered with a Popingay)

Out of my Greefe, and my Impatience,

Answer'd (neglectingly) I know not what,

He should, or should not: For he made me mad,

To see him shine so briske, and smell so sweet,

And talke so like a Waiting-Gentlewoman,

Of Guns, & Drums, and Wounds: God saue the marke;

And telling me, the Soueraign'st thing on earth

Was Parmacity, for an inward bruise:

And that it was great pitty, so it was,

That villanous Salt-peter should be digg'd

Out of the Bowels of the harmlesse Earth,

Which many a good Tall Fellow had destroy'd

So Cowardly. And but for these vile Gunnes,

He would himselfe haue beene a Souldier.

This bald, vnioynted Chat of his (my Lord)

Made me to answer indirectly (as I said.)

And I beseech you, let not this report

Come currant for an Accusation,

Betwixt my Loue, and your high Maiesty

Blunt. The circumstance considered, good my Lord,

What euer Harry Percie then had said,

To such a person, and in such a place,

At such a time, with all the rest retold,

May reasonably dye, and neuer rise

To do him wrong, or any way impeach

What then he said, so he vnsay it now

King. Why yet doth deny his Prisoners,

But with Prouiso and Exception,

That we at our owne charge, shall ransome straight

His Brother-in-Law, the foolish Mortimer,

Who (in my soule) hath wilfully betraid

The liues of those, that he did leade to Fight,

Against the great Magitian, damn'd Glendower:

Whose daughter (as we heare) the Earle of March

Hath lately married. Shall our Coffers then,

Be emptied, to redeeme a Traitor home?

Shall we buy Treason? and indent with Feares,

When they haue lost and forfeyted themselues.

No: on the barren Mountaine let him sterue:

For I shall neuer hold that man my Friend,

Whose tongue shall aske me for one peny cost

To ransome home reuolted Mortimer

Hot. Reuolted Mortimer?

He neuer did fall off, my Soueraigne Liege,

But by the chance of Warre: to proue that true,

Needs no more but one tongue. For all those Wounds,

Those mouthed Wounds, which valiantly he tooke,

When on the gentle Seuernes siedgie banke,

In single Opposition hand to hand,

He did confound the best part of an houre

In changing hardiment with great Glendower:

Three times they breath'd, and three times did they drink

Vpon agreement, of swift Seuernes flood;

Who then affrighted with their bloody lookes,

Ran fearefully among the trembling Reeds,

And hid his crispe-head in the hollow banke,

Blood-stained with these Valiant Combatants.

Neuer did base and rotten Policy

Colour her working with such deadly wounds;

Nor neuer could the Noble Mortimer

Receiue so many, and all willingly:

Then let him not be sland'red with Reuolt

King. Thou do'st bely him Percy, thou dost bely him;

He neuer did encounter with Glendower:

I tell thee, he durst as well haue met the diuell alone,

As Owen Glendower for an enemy.

Art thou not asham'd? But Sirrah, henceforth

Let me not heare you speake of Mortimer.

Send me your Prisoners with the speediest meanes,

Or you shall heare in such a kinde from me

As will displease ye. My Lord Northumberland,

We License your departure with your sonne,

Send vs your Prisoners, or you'l heare of it.

Exit King.

Hot. And if the diuell come and roare for them

I will not send them. I will after straight

And tell him so: for I will ease my heart,

Although it be with hazard of my head

Nor. What? drunke with choller? stay & pause awhile,

Heere comes your Vnckle.

Enter Worcester.

Hot. Speake of Mortimer?

Yes, I will speake of him, and let my soule

Want mercy, if I do not ioyne with him.

In his behalfe, Ile empty all these Veines,

And shed my deere blood drop by drop i'th dust,

But I will lift the downfall Mortimer

As high i'th Ayre, as this Vnthankfull King,

As this Ingrate and Cankred Bullingbrooke

Nor. Brother, the King hath made your Nephew mad

Wor. Who strooke this heate vp after I was gone?

Hot. He will (forsooth) haue all my Prisoners:

And when I vrg'd the ransom once againe

Of my Wiues Brother, then his cheeke look'd pale,

And on my face he turn'd an eye of death,

Trembling euen at the name of Mortimer

Wor. I cannot blame him: was he not proclaim'd

By Richard that dead is, the next of blood?

Nor. He was: I heard the Proclamation,

And then it was, when the vnhappy King

(Whose wrongs in vs God pardon) did set forth

Vpon his Irish Expedition:

From whence he intercepted, did returne

To be depos'd, and shortly murthered

Wor. And for whose death, we in the worlds wide mouth

Liue scandaliz'd, and fouly spoken of

Hot. But soft I pray you; did King Richard then

Proclaime my brother Mortimer,

Heyre to the Crowne?

Nor. He did, my selfe did heare it

Hot. Nay then I cannot blame his Cousin King,

That wish'd him on the barren Mountaines staru'd.

But shall it be, that you that set the Crowne

Vpon the head of this forgetfull man,

And for his sake, wore the detested blot

Of murtherous subornation? Shall it be,

That you a world of curses vndergoe,

Being the Agents, or base second meanes,

The Cords, the Ladder, or the Hangman rather?

O pardon, if that I descend so low,

To shew the Line, and the Predicament

Wherein you range vnder this subtill King.

Shall it for shame, be spoken in these dayes,

Or fill vp Chronicles in time to come,

That men of your Nobility and Power,

Did gage them both in an vniust behalfe

(As Both of you, God pardon it, haue done)

To put downe Richard, that sweet louely Rose,

And plant this Thorne, this Canker Bullingbrooke?

And shall it in more shame be further spoken,

That you are fool'd, discarded, and shooke off

By him, for whom these shames ye vnderwent?

No: yet time serues, wherein you may redeeme

Your banish'd Honors, and restore your selues

Into the good Thoughts of the world againe.

Reuenge the geering and disdain'd contempt

Of this proud King, who studies day and night

To answer all the Debt he owes vnto you,

Euen with the bloody Payment of your deaths:

Therefore I say-

Wor. Peace Cousin, say no more.

And now I will vnclaspe a Secret booke,

And to your quicke conceyuing Discontents,

Ile reade you Matter, deepe and dangerous,

As full of perill and aduenturous Spirit,

As to o're-walke a Current, roaring loud

On the vnstedfast footing of a Speare

Hot. If he fall in, good night, or sinke or swimme:

Send danger from the East vnto the West,

So Honor crosse it from the North to South,

And let them grapple: The blood more stirres

To rowze a Lyon, then to start a Hare

Nor. Imagination of some great exploit,

Driues him beyond the bounds of Patience

Hot. By heauen, me thinkes it were an easie leap,

To plucke bright Honor from the pale-fac'd Moone,

Or diue into the bottome of the deepe,

Where Fadome-line could neuer touch the ground,

And plucke vp drowned Honor by the Lockes:

So he that doth redeeme her thence, might weare

Without Co-riuall, all her Dignities:

But out vpon this halfe-fac'd Fellowship

Wor. He apprehends a World of Figures here,

But not the forme of what he should attend:

Good Cousin giue me audience for a-while,

And list to me

Hot. I cry you mercy

Wor. Those same Noble Scottes

That are your Prisoners

Hot. Ile keepe them all.

By heauen, he shall not haue a Scot of them:

No, if a Scot would saue his Soule, he shall not.

Ile keepe them, by this Hand

Wor. You start away,

And lend no eare vnto my purposes.

Those Prisoners you shall keepe

Hot. Nay, I will: that's flat:

He said, he would not ransome Mortimer:

Forbad my tongue to speake of Mortimer.

But I will finde him when he lyes asleepe,

And in his eare, Ile holla Mortimer.

Nay, Ile haue a Starling shall be taught to speake

Nothing but Mortimer, and giue it him,

To keepe his anger still in motion

Wor. Heare you Cousin: a word

Hot. All studies heere I solemnly defie,

Saue how to gall and pinch this Bullingbrooke,

And that same Sword and Buckler Prince of Wales.

But that I thinke his Father loues him not,

And would be glad he met with some mischance,

I would haue poyson'd him with a pot of Ale

Wor. Farewell Kinsman: Ile talke to you

When you are better temper'd to attend

Nor. Why what a Waspe-tongu'd & impatient foole

Art thou, to breake into this Womans mood,

Tying thine eare to no tongue but thine owne?

Hot. Why look you, I am whipt & scourg'd with rods,

Netled, and stung with Pismires, when I heare

Of this vile Politician Bullingbrooke.

In Richards time: What de'ye call the place?

A plague vpon't, it is in Gloustershire:

'Twas, where the madcap Duke his Vncle kept,

His Vncle Yorke, where I first bow'd my knee

Vnto this King of Smiles, this Bullingbrooke:

When you and he came backe from Rauenspurgh

Nor. At Barkley Castle

Hot. You say true:

Why what a caudie deale of curtesie,

This fawning Grey-hound then did proffer me,

Looke when his infant Fortune came to age,

And gentle Harry Percy, and kinde Cousin:

O, the Diuell take such Couzeners, God forgiue me,

Good Vncle tell your tale, for I haue done

Wor. Nay, if you haue not, too't againe,

Wee'l stay your leysure

Hot. I haue done insooth

Wor. Then once more to your Scottish Prisoners.

Deliuer them vp without their ransome straight,

And make the Dowglas sonne your onely meane

For powres in Scotland: which for diuers reasons

Which I shall send you written, be assur'd

Will easily be granted you, my Lord.

Your Sonne in Scotland being thus imploy'd,

Shall secretly into the bosome creepe

Of that same noble Prelate, well belou'd,

The Archbishop

Hot. Of Yorke, is't not?

Wor. True, who beares hard

His Brothers death at Bristow, the Lord Scroope.

I speake not this in estimation,

As what I thinke might be, but what I know

Is ruminated, plotted, and set downe,

And onely stayes but to behold the face

Of that occasion that shall bring it on

Hot. I smell it:

Vpon my life, it will do wond'rous well

Nor. Before the game's a-foot, thou still let'st slip

Hot. Why, it cannot choose but be a Noble plot,

And then the power of Scotland, and of Yorke

To ioyne with Mortimer, Ha

Wor. And so they shall

Hot. Infaith it is exceedingly well aym'd

Wor. And 'tis no little reason bids vs speed,

To saue our heads, by raising of a Head:

For, beare our selues as euen as we can,

The King will alwayes thinke him in our debt,

And thinke, we thinke our selues vnsatisfied,

Till he hath found a time to pay vs home.

And see already, how he doth beginne

To make vs strangers to his lookes of loue

Hot. He does, he does; wee'l be reueng'd on him

Wor. Cousin, farewell. No further go in this,

Then I by Letters shall direct your course

When time is ripe, which will be sodainly:

Ile steale to Glendower, and loe, Mortimer,

Where you, and Dowglas, and our powres at once,

As I will fashion it, shall happily meete,

To beare our fortunes in our owne strong armes,

Which now we hold at much vncertainty

Nor. Farewell good Brother, we shall thriue, I trust

Hot. Vncle, adieu: O let the houres be short,

Till fields, and blowes, and grones, applaud our sport.

Exit

Actus Secundus. Scena Prima.

Enter a Carrier with a Lanterne in his hand.

1.Car. Heigh-ho, an't be not foure by the day, Ile be

hang'd. Charles waine is ouer the new Chimney, and yet

our horse not packt. What Ostler?

Ost. Anon, anon

1.Car. I prethee Tom, beate Cuts Saddle, put a few

Flockes in the point: the poore Iade is wrung in the withers,

out of all cesse.

Enter another Carrier.

2.Car. Pease and Beanes are as danke here as a Dog,

and this is the next way to giue poore Iades the Bottes:

This house is turned vpside downe since Robin the Ostler

dyed

1.Car. Poore fellow neuer ioy'd since the price of oats

rose, it was the death of him

2.Car. I thinke this is the most villanous house in al

London rode for Fleas: I am stung like a Tench

1.Car. Like a Tench? There is ne're a King in Christendome,

could be better bit, then I haue beene since the

first Cocke

2.Car. Why, you will allow vs ne're a Iourden, and

then we leake in your Chimney: and your Chamber-lye

breeds Fleas like a Loach

1.Car. What Ostler, come away, and be hangd: come

away

2.Car. I haue a Gammon of Bacon, and two razes of

Ginger, to be deliuered as farre as Charing-crosse

1.Car. The Turkies in my Pannier are quite starued.

What Ostler? A plague on thee, hast thou neuer an eye in

thy head? Can'st not heare? And t'were not as good a

deed as drinke, to break the pate of thee, I am a very Villaine.

Come and be hang'd, hast no faith in thee?

Enter Gads-hill.

Gad. Good-morrow Carriers. What's a clocke?

Car. I thinke it be two a clocke

Gad. I prethee lend me thy Lanthorne to see my Gelding

in the stable

1.Car. Nay soft I pray ye, I know a trick worth two

of that

Gad. I prethee lend me thine

2.Car. I, when, canst tell? Lend mee thy Lanthorne

(quoth-a) marry Ile see thee hang'd first

Gad. Sirra Carrier: What time do you mean to come

to London?

2.Car. Time enough to goe to bed with a Candle, I

warrant thee. Come neighbour Mugges, wee'll call vp

the Gentlemen, they will along with company, for they

haue great charge.

Exeunt.

Enter Chamberlaine.

Gad. What ho, Chamberlaine?

Cham. At hand quoth Pick-purse

Gad. That's euen as faire, as at hand quoth the Chamberlaine:

For thou variest no more from picking of Purses,

then giuing direction, doth from labouring. Thou

lay'st the plot, how

Cham. Good morrow Master Gads-Hill, it holds currant

that I told you yesternight. There's a Franklin in the

wilde of Kent, hath brought three hundred Markes with

him in Gold: I heard him tell it to one of his company last

night at Supper; a kinde of Auditor, one that hath abundance

of charge too (God knowes what) they are vp already,

and call for Egges and Butter. They will away

presently

Gad. Sirra, if they meete not with S[aint]. Nicholas Clarks,

Ile giue thee this necke

Cham. No, Ile none of it: I prythee keep that for the

Hangman, for I know thou worshipst S[aint]. Nicholas as truly

as a man of falshood may

Gad. What talkest thou to me of the Hangman? If I

hang, Ile make a fat payre of Gallowes. For, if I hang,

old Sir Iohn hangs with mee, and thou know'st hee's no

Starueling. Tut, there are other Troians that y dream'st

not of, the which (for sport sake) are content to doe the

Profession some grace; that would (if matters should bee

look'd into) for their owne Credit sake, make all Whole.

I am ioyned with no Foot-land-Rakers, No Long-staffe

six-penny strikers, none of these mad

Mustachio-purple-hu'd-Maltwormes,

but with Nobility, and Tranquilitie;

Bourgomasters, and great Oneyers, such as can holde in,

such as will strike sooner then speake; and speake sooner

then drinke, and drinke sooner then pray: and yet I lye,

for they pray continually vnto their Saint the Commonwealth;

or rather, not to pray to her, but prey on her: for

they ride vp & downe on her, and make hir their Boots

Cham. What, the Commonwealth their Bootes? Will

she hold out water in foule way?

Gad. She will, she will; Iustice hath liquor'd her. We

steale as in a Castle, cocksure: we haue the receit of Fernseede,

we walke inuisible

Cham. Nay, I thinke rather, you are more beholding

to the Night, then to the Fernseed, for your walking inuisible

Gad. Giue me thy hand.

Thou shalt haue a share in our purpose,

As I am a true man

Cham. Nay, rather let mee haue it, as you are a false

Theefe

Gad. Goe too: Homo is a common name to all men.

Bid the Ostler bring the Gelding out of the stable. Farewell,

ye muddy Knaue.

Exeunt.

Scaena Secunda.

Enter Prince, Poynes, and Peto.

Poines. Come shelter, shelter, I haue remoued Falstafs

Horse, and he frets like a gum'd Veluet

Prin. Stand close.

Enter Falstaffe.

Fal. Poines, Poines, and be hang'd Poines

Prin. Peace ye fat-kidney'd Rascall, what a brawling

dost thou keepe

Fal. What Poines. Hal?

Prin. He is walk'd vp to the top of the hill, Ile go seek

him

Fal. I am accurst to rob in that Theefe company: that

Rascall hath remoued my Horse, and tied him I know not

where. If I trauell but foure foot by the squire further a

foote, I shall breake my winde. Well, I doubt not but

to dye a faire death for all this, if I scape hanging for killing

that Rogue, I haue forsworne his company hourely

any time this two and twenty yeare, & yet I am bewitcht

with the Rogues company. If the Rascall haue not giuen

me medicines to make me loue him, Ile be hang'd; it could

not be else: I haue drunke Medicines. Poines, Hal, a

Plague vpon you both. Bardolph, Peto: Ile starue ere I

rob a foote further. And 'twere not as good a deede as to

drinke, to turne True-man, and to leaue these Rogues, I

am the veriest Varlet that euer chewed with a Tooth.

Eight yards of vneuen ground, is threescore & ten miles

afoot with me: and the stony-hearted Villaines knowe it

well enough. A plague vpon't, when Theeues cannot be

true one to another.

They Whistle.

Whew: a plague light vpon you all. Giue my Horse you

Rogues: giue me my Horse, and be hang'd

Prin. Peace ye fat guttes, lye downe, lay thine eare

close to the ground, and list if thou can heare the tread of

Trauellers

Fal. Haue you any Leauers to lift me vp again being

downe? Ile not beare mine owne flesh so far afoot again,

for all the coine in thy Fathers Exchequer. What a plague

meane ye to colt me thus?

Prin. Thou ly'st, thou art not colted, thou art vncolted

Fal. I prethee good Prince Hal, help me to my horse,

good Kings sonne

Prin. Out you Rogue, shall I be your Ostler?

Fal. Go hang thy selfe in thine owne heire-apparant-Garters:

If I be tane, Ile peach for this: and I haue not

Ballads made on all, and sung to filthy tunes, let a Cup of

Sacke be my poyson: when a iest is so forward, & a foote

too, I hate it.

Enter Gads-hill.

Gad. Stand

Fal. So I do against my will

Poin. O 'tis our Setter, I know his voyce:

Bardolfe, what newes?

Bar. Case ye, case ye; on with your Vizards, there's

mony of the Kings comming downe the hill, 'tis going

to the Kings Exchequer

Fal. You lie you rogue, 'tis going to the Kings Tauern

Gad. There's enough to make vs all

Fal. To be hang'd

Prin. You foure shall front them in the narrow Lane:

Ned and I, will walke lower; if they scape from your encounter,

then they light on vs

Peto. But how many be of them?

Gad. Some eight or ten

Fal. Will they not rob vs?

Prin. What, a Coward Sir Iohn Paunch?

Fal. Indeed I am not Iohn of Gaunt your Grandfather;

but yet no Coward, Hal

Prin. Wee'l leaue that to the proofe

Poin. Sirra Iacke, thy horse stands behinde the hedg,

when thou need'st him, there thou shalt finde him. Farewell,

and stand fast

Fal. Now cannot I strike him, if I should be hang'd

Prin. Ned, where are our disguises?

Poin. Heere hard by: Stand close

Fal. Now my Masters, happy man be his dole, say I:

euery man to his businesse.

Enter Trauellers

Tra. Come Neighbor: the boy shall leade our Horses

downe the hill: Wee'l walke a-foot a while, and ease our

Legges

Theeues. Stay

Tra. Iesu blesse vs

Fal. Strike down with them, cut the villains throats;

a whorson Caterpillars: Bacon-fed Knaues, they hate vs

youth; downe with them, fleece them

Tra. O, we are vndone, both we and ours for euer

Fal. Hang ye gorbellied knaues, are you vndone? No

ye Fat Chuffes, I would your store were heere. On Bacons,

on, what ye knaues? Yong men must liue, you are

Grand Iurers, are ye? Wee'l iure ye ifaith.
