Master, Fang, have you entered the action?
Speaker 3 (00:36):

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Where's your yeomen? Is the lusty yeoman? Will I stand

Surah? Where's Snare?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Oh Lord, I good master? Snare?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Here here Snare? We must arrest Sir John Falstaff.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yea good master, Snare. I have entered him and all
it may transcost some of our lives, for he will
stab alas the day take heed of him. He stabbed
me in mine own house, and that most beastly in
good faith. It cares not what mischief he does. If
his weapon be out, he will feign like any devil.
He will spare neither man, woman nor child.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
If I can close with him, I care not for
his thrust.
Speaker 2 (01:11):

I but.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Fist him once and a come but within my vice.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I am undone by his going. I warrant you he's
an infinitive thing upon my score. Good Master Fang, hold
him sure, Good Master Snare, let him not escape. It
comes continually to pie Corner, saving your manhoods to buy
a saddle, and he is indicted to dinner too, the
lubber's head in lumbered Street, to Master Smooth's the silkman.
I pray you, since my eggsy and is entered in
(01:38):
my case so openly known to the world, let him
be brought into his answer. A hundred mark is a
long one for a poor lone woman to bear. And
I have borne, and born, and born, and have been
fubbed off and fubbed off and fubbed off from this
day to that day. That it is a shame to
be thought on. There is no honesty in such a
dealing unless a woman should be made an ass and
a beast to bear every knave's wrong.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Enter, Sir John Falstaff Page and Bardolf.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yonder he comes, and that errant Momsey knows Knave bard

Speaker 3 (03:08):
My Lord?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Be good to me? I beseech you stand to me?
Speaker 6 (03:11):
How now, sir John? What are you brawling here? Doth
this become your place, your time and business? You should
have been well on your way to joke. Stand from
him fellow. Wherefore hanst thou upon him.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Oh, my most worshipful Lord, and please your grace. I
am a poor widow of east Chief, and he is
arrested at my suit?
Speaker 6 (03:33):
For what sum?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It is more than for some? My lord? It is
for all all I have. He hath eaten me out
of house and home. He hath put all my substance
into that fat belly of his. But I will have
some of it out again, or I will ride thee
a knights like a mare.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I think I most like to ride the mayor, if
I have any vantage of ground to get up?
Speaker 6 (03:54):
How comes this? Sir John Fie, What man of good
temper would and endure this tempest of exclamation? Are you
not ashamed to enforce a poor widow to so rough
a course to come by her own?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
What is the gross sum.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That I owe thee Mary, if thou wert an honest
man thyself, and the money too? Thou didst swear to
me upon a parcel gilt goblet, sitting in my dolphin
chamber at the round table by a sea coal fire,
upon Wednesday and weison week, when the Prince broke thy
head for liking his father to singing man of Windsor
thou didst swear to me then, as I was washing
thy wound, to marry me and make me my lady?
(04:32):
Thy wife, canst thou deny it? Did not? Good wife
Keech the butcher's wife, come in then and call me gossip,
quickly coming in to borrow a mess of vinegar, telling
us she had a good dish of prawns. Whereby thou
didst desire to eat some whereby I told thee they
were ill for green wound, And didst thou not, when
she was gone downstairs, desire me to be no more
so familiarity with such poor people, saying that ere long
(04:54):
they should call me madam? And didst thou not kiss
me and bid me fetch the thirty shillings? I put
thee now to thy book oath deny it, if thou canst.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
My lord, this is a poor mad soul. And she
says up and down the town that her eldest son
is like you, as she hath been in good case.
And the truth is poverty hath distracted her. But for
these foolish officers. I beseech you I may have her
(05:25):
address against them.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Sir John Sir John, I am well acquainted with your
manner of wrenching the true course the false way. It
is not a confident brow, nor the throng of words
that come with such more than impudent sauciness from you
can thrust me from a level consideration. You have, as
it appears to me, practiced upon the easy dealing spirit
(05:50):
of this woman, and made her serve your uses, both
in perse and in person.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yea, in truth, my lord.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Pray the peace, pay her the debt you owe her,
and unpay the villainy you have done with her. The
one you may do with sterling money, and the other
with current repentance.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
My Lord, I will not undergo this sleep without reply.
You call honorable boldness impudent sauciness. If a man will
make a curtsey and say nothing, he is virtuous. No,
my Lord, my humble duty remembered. I will not be
your suitor. I say to you, I do desire deliverance
(06:34):
from these officers, being upon hasty employment in the King's affairs.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
You speak as having power to do wrong, But answer
in the effect of your reputation and satisfy the poor woman.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Come hither, Hostess, enter Gower.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Now master Gower, what news.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
The King, my lord and Harry Prince of will o'er
of hand. The rest the paper tells gives a letter.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
As I am a gentleman.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Faith, you said so before, as.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I am a gentleman, Come no more words of it.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
By this heavenly ground I trod on. I must be
faint to pawn both my plate and the tapestry of
my dining chambers glasses.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Glasses is the only drinking and for thy walls a
pretty slight drawllery, or the story of the prodigal or
the German hunting in water work as worth a thousand
of these bedhangers and these fly bitten tapestries. Let it
be ten pounds. If thou canst come and twire not
(07:43):
for thy humors. There's not a better wench in England.
Go wash thy face and draw the action. Come thou
must not be in this humor with me, and dost
not know me. Come, Come, I know thou wast set
on to.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
This pray thee sir John, Let it be but twenty nobles.
If faith I am loathed upon my plate, so God
save me.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Lah let it alone. I'll make other shift. You'll be
a fool still.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Well, you shall have it, though I pawn my gown.
I hope you'll come to supper. You'll pay me altogether.
Speaker 9 (08:19):
Will I live to Bardolf?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Go with her with her hook on? Hook on?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Will you have dull tearshe'd meet you at supper?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
No more words?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Let's have her exitt Hostess Bardolf and officers.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
I have heard better news.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
What's the news, my lord?
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Where lay the king tonight at Basingstoke?
Speaker 10 (08:43):
My Lord?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I hope, my lord all's well? What is the news?
My lord?
Speaker 6 (08:49):
Come all his fourciers back, No.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
Fifteen hundred foot five hundred horse are marched up to
my lord of Lancaster against Northumberland, and the archbishore.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Comes the king back from Wales.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
My noble lord, you shall have letters of me presently.
Come go along with me, good Master Gower?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
My lord?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
What's the matter, Master Gower?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Shall I entreat you with me to dinner?
Speaker 8 (09:16):
I must wait upon my good lord here? I thank you,
good Sir John.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Sir John, you loiter here too long, being you are
to take soldiers up in the countess as you go.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Will you sup with me, Master Gower?
Speaker 6 (09:31):
What foolish master taught you these manners, Sir John.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Master Gower, if they become me, not he was a fool,
that's taught them me. This is the right fencing grace,
my lord, tap foot tap, and so part.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Fair now the Lord lighten thee thou art a great fool.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Excellent scene too, London, another street, Enter Prince Henry and
points before God.
Speaker 11 (10:02):
I am exceeding weary?
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Is it come to that? I had thought weariness durst
not have attached one of so high blood faith.
Speaker 11 (10:10):
It does me, though it discolors the complexion of my
greatness to acknowledge it. Does it not show vilely in
me to desire small beer?
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Why a prince should not be so loosely studied as
to remember so weak a composition the like?
Speaker 11 (10:28):
Then my appetite was not princely gaunt. For by my
troth I do now remember the poor creature small beer.
But indeed these humble considerations make me out of love
with my greatness. What a disgrace it is to me
to remember thy name, or to know thy face tomorrow,
(10:48):
or to take note how many pair of silk stockings
thou hast these these and those that were thy peach
colored ones, Or to bear the inventory of thy shirts,
as one for superfluity and another for use, But that
the tennis court keeper knows better than I, for it
(11:11):
is a low ebb of linen with THEE. When thou
keepest not racket there as thou hast not done a
great while, because the rest of thy low countries have
made a shift to eat up thy holland. And God
knows whether those that ball out of the ruins of
thy linen shall inherit his kingdom. But the midwives say
the children are not in the fault. Whereupon the world
(11:34):
increases and kindreds are mightily strengthened.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
How ill it follows, after you have labored so hard
you should talk so idly? Tell me how many good
young princes would do so their father's being so sick
as yours at this time?
Speaker 11 (11:49):
Is Shall I tell THEE one thing points.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Yes, faith, and let it be an excellent good.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
Then it shall serve among wits of no higher breeding
than nine.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Go too. I stand the push of your one thing
that you will tell Mary.
Speaker 11 (12:06):
I tell THEE it is not meet that I should
be sad now my father is sick. Albeit I could
tell to THEE as to one it pleases me for
fault of a better to call my friend. I could
be sad, and sad indeed.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Too very hardly upon such a subject.
Speaker 11 (12:27):
By this hand, thou thinkest me as far in the
devil's book as Thou and Falstaff for obduracy and persistency.
Let the end try the man that I tell THEE
my heart bleeds inwardly that my father is so sick
and keeping such vile company as thou art hath in
(12:51):
reason taking from me all ostentation of.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Sorrow the reason?
Speaker 11 (12:56):
What wouldst thou think of me? If I should weep?
Speaker 7 (13:00):
I would think THEE a most princely hypocrite.
Speaker 11 (13:03):
It would be every man's thought, and thou art a
blessed fellow to think as every man thinks. Never a
man's thought in the world keeps the roadway better than thine.
Every man would think me an hypocrite. Indeed, And what
excites your most worshipful thoughts to think so?
Speaker 7 (13:22):
Why? Because you have been so lewde and so much
in graft to Falstaff and to thee. By this light,
I am well spoken. I can hear it with mine
own ears. The worst that they can say of me
is that I am a second brother, and that I
am a proper fellow of my hands. And those two
things I confess I cannot help. By the mass, Here
(13:46):
comes Bardolf.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Enter Bardolf, and Page, and the boy that I gave Falstaff.
Speaker 11 (13:53):
I had him from me Christian. And look if the
fat villain have not to transformed him.
Speaker 12 (13:58):
Ape, God save your great and yours most noble.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Bardo, Come, you virtuous ass, you bashful fool? Must you
be blushing? Wherefore blush you? Now? What a maidenly man
at arms are you become? Is it such a matter
to get a pottlepot's maidenhead?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
It calls me e'en now, my lord through a red lattice,
and I could discern no part of his face from
the window. At last I spied his eyes, and the
thought he had made two holes in the alewife's new petticoat,
and so peeped through.
Speaker 11 (14:31):
Has not the boy profited?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Away?
Speaker 12 (14:34):
You worse an upright rabbit.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Away away, you rascally Althea's dream away?
Speaker 11 (14:40):
Instruct us boy? What dream boy?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Mary? My Lord? Althea dreamt she was delivered of a firebrand,
and therefore I call him her dream.
Speaker 11 (14:49):
A crown's worth of good interpretation.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
There tis boy, oh, that this blossom could be kept
from Caker's well. There's sixpence to preserve thee.
Speaker 12 (14:58):
And you do not make him he hanged among you
the gallows shall have wrong.
Speaker 11 (15:03):
And how doth thy master Bodolph.
Speaker 12 (15:05):
Well, my lord, he heard of your graces coming to town.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Here's a letter for you, delivered with good respect. And
how doth the mortal mass your master in bodily health,
Sir Mary, the immortal part needs a physician, but that
moves not him. Though that be sick, it dies not.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
I do allow this well to be as familiar with
me as my dog, and he holds his place. For
look you, how he writes.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
Reads John Falstaff Knight. Every man must know that, as
oft as he has occasion to name himself, even like
those that are kin to the king. For they never
prick their finger, but they say there's some of the
King's blood spilt? How comes that? Says he that takes
upon him not to conceive? The answer is as ready
(15:59):
as a borrower's cap. I am the King's poor cousin, Sir.
Speaker 11 (16:03):
Nay, they will be kin to us, or they will
fetch it from yafet. But the letter reads, Sir John Falstaff,
knight to the son of the king nearest his father, Harry,
Prince of Wales, greeting.
Speaker 13 (16:19):
Why this is a certificate peace, reads, I will imitate
the honorable Romans in brevity.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
He sure means brevity in breath, short wounded.
Speaker 14 (16:33):
Reads M I commend me to THEE. I commend THEE,
and I leave THEE. Be not too familiar with points,
for he misuses thy favors so much that he swears
thou art to marry his sister Nell repent at idle
times as thou mayest, and so farewell thine by yea
(16:55):
en know which is as much to say as thou
usest him. Jack Falstaff with my familiars, John with my
brothers and sisters, and Sir John, with all Europe.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
My lord, I'll steep this letter and sack and make
him eat it.
Speaker 11 (17:12):
That's to make him eat twenty of his words. But
do you use me thus? Ned, must I marry your sister?
Speaker 7 (17:20):
God send the wench no worse fortune? But I never
said so well.
Speaker 11 (17:26):
Thus we play the fools with the time, and the
spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
Is he a master here? In London. Yea, my lord,
where's supsy? Doth the old boar feed and the old frank.
Speaker 12 (17:41):
At the old place, my lord?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
In eastcheap?
Speaker 5 (17:44):
What company Ephesians, my lord of the old church?
Speaker 11 (17:49):
Sup Any women with him?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
None, my lord, but old mistress quickly, and mistress dull
tear sheet?
Speaker 11 (17:56):
What pagan?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
May that be?
Speaker 5 (17:58):
A proper gentlewoman, sir? And a kin's woman of my masters.
Speaker 11 (18:01):
Even such kin as the parish hypher as are to
the town bull, Shall we stay upon the ned at supper?
Speaker 7 (18:08):
I am your shadow, my Lord.
Speaker 11 (18:10):
I'll follow you, Sarah, you boy, and Bardav no word
to your master that I am yet come to town.
There's for your silence.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
I have no tongue, sir, and for mine, Sir, I
will govern it very well.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Go exit, Bardolph and page.
Speaker 11 (18:30):
This dull tear sheet. Should be some road.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
I warrant you as common as the way between Saint
Albans and London.
Speaker 11 (18:38):
I might re see Falstaff bestow himself tonight in his
true colors, and not ourselves be seen.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Put on two leathern jerkins and aprons, and wait upon
him at his table, as drawers from a god.
Speaker 11 (18:51):
To a bull. A heavy dissension. It was Jove's case
from a prince to apprentice. Hello, transformation that shall be mine,
For in everything the purpose must weigh with a folly.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Follow me ned excellent scene three Warkworth, before the castle,
enter Northumberland, Lady Northumberland, and Lady Percy.
Speaker 15 (19:17):
I pray thee loving wife and gentle daughter, give even
way unto my rough affairs. Put not you on the
visage of the times, and be like them to Percy.
Speaker 11 (19:27):
Troublesome I have given over.
Speaker 16 (19:30):
I will speak no more.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Do what you will.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Your wisdom be your guide.
Speaker 15 (19:35):
Alas, sweet wife, My honor is at pawn, and but
my going nothing can redeem it.
Speaker 16 (19:42):
Oh Yet, for God's sake, God not to these wars.
The time was, Father, when you broke your word, when
you were more endeared to it than now, when your
own Percy, when my heart, dear Harry, through many a
north would look to see her, his father bring up
his powers. But he did long in vain, who then
(20:06):
persuaded you to stay at home. There were two honors lost,
yours and your sons. For yours, the God of Heaven
brighten it for his It struck upon him like the
sun in the grave. Vault of heaven, and by his
light did all the chivalry of England move to do
brave acts. He was indeed the glass wherein the noble
(20:30):
youth did dress themselves. He had no legs that practiced,
not his gait, and speaking thick, which nature made his blemish,
became the accents of the valiant. For those that could
speak low and tardily would turn their own perfection to abuse,
to seem like him. So that in speech, in gait,
(20:51):
in diet, in affections of delight, in military rules, humors
of blood, he was the mark and glass, copy and
book that fashioned others. And him, oh, wondrous him, O
miracle of men. Him, did you leave second to none
(21:12):
unseconded by you to look upon the hideous god of
war and disadvantage, to abide a field for nothing but
the sound of Hotspur's name did seem defensible. So you
left him. Never, oh, never, do his ghost the wrong.
To hold your honor more precise and nice with others
(21:35):
than with him. Let them alone. The Marshal and the
Archbishop are strong.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Advice.
Speaker 16 (21:45):
Sweet Harry had but half their numbers. To day might
eye hanging on Hotspur's neck of talk of Mullet's grave.
Speaker 15 (21:51):
Beshrew your heart, fair daughter, you to draw my spirits
from me with new lamenting ancient oversights. But I must
go and meet with danger there, or it will seek
me in another place and find me worse.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Provided, Oh, fly to Scotland, to that the nobles and
the armed commons have of their puissants made a little taste.
Speaker 16 (22:14):
If they get ground advantage of the king, then join
you with them like a rib of steel to make
strength stronger. But for all our loves, first let them
try themselves. So did your son he was so suffered.
So came I a widow, and never shall have length
(22:37):
of life enough to reign upon remembrance with mine eyes,
that it may grow and sprout as high as heaven
for recordation to my noble husband.
Speaker 15 (22:47):
Come, come go in with me. Tis with my mind,
as with the tide swelled up into his height, that
makes us still stand running neither way fain would I
go to meet the archbishop. But many thousand reasons hold
me back. I will resolve for Scotland. There am I
till time advantage craved my company.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Agent, Scene four London, The Boar's Head Tavern in East
two enter Francis and another drawer.
Speaker 17 (23:20):
What the devil hast thou brought there apple John's. Thou
knowest Sir John cannot endure an apple john.
Speaker 18 (23:26):
Mass, Thou sayst true. The Prince once set a dish
of apple John's before him and told him there were
five more Sir John's, and, putting off his hat, said
I will now take my leave of these six dry
round old withered knights. It angered him to the heart,
(23:49):
but he hath forgot that.
Speaker 17 (23:51):
Why then cover and set them down? And see if
thou canst find out Sneak's noise. Mistress tearseet would fain
hear some music?

Here will be the Prince and master points Anon, and
they will put on two of our jerkins and aprons,
and Sir John must not know of it. Bartof hath
brought word.

and third drawers, enter hostess and doll tear sheet.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
If Faith's sweetheart methinks you are an excellent, good temporality.
Your pulsage beats as extraordinarily as heart would desire, and
your color, I warrant you, is as red as any rose.
A good truth law. But if faith you have drunk
too much canaries, and that a marvelous searching wine, and
it perfumes the blood. Ere one can say, what's this?
How do you know, Bethan? I was, well, that's well

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Oh, my most worshipful Lord, and please your grace. I
am a poor widow of east Chief, and he is
arrested at my suit?
Speaker 6 (03:33):
For what sum?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It is more than for some? My lord? It is
for all all I have. He hath eaten me out
of house and home. He hath put all my substance
into that fat belly of his. But I will have
some of it out again, or I will ride thee
a knights like a mare.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I think I most like to ride the mayor, if
I have any vantage of ground to get up?
Speaker 6 (03:54):
How comes this? Sir John Fie, What man of good
temper would and endure this tempest of exclamation? Are you
not ashamed to enforce a poor widow to so rough
a course to come by her own?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
What is the gross sum.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That I owe thee Mary, if thou wert an honest
man thyself, and the money too? Thou didst swear to
me upon a parcel gilt goblet, sitting in my dolphin
chamber at the round table by a sea coal fire,
upon Wednesday and weison week, when the Prince broke thy
head for liking his father to singing man of Windsor
thou didst swear to me then, as I was washing
thy wound, to marry me and make me my lady?
(04:32):
Thy wife, canst thou deny it? Did not? Good wife
Keech the butcher's wife, come in then and call me gossip,
quickly coming in to borrow a mess of vinegar, telling
us she had a good dish of prawns. Whereby thou
didst desire to eat some whereby I told thee they
were ill for green wound, And didst thou not, when
she was gone downstairs, desire me to be no more
so familiarity with such poor people, saying that ere long
(04:54):
they should call me madam? And didst thou not kiss
me and bid me fetch the thirty shillings? I put
thee now to thy book oath deny it, if thou canst.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
My lord, this is a poor mad soul. And she
says up and down the town that her eldest son
is like you, as she hath been in good case.
And the truth is poverty hath distracted her. But for
these foolish officers. I beseech you I may have her
(05:25):
address against them.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Sir John Sir John, I am well acquainted with your
manner of wrenching the true course the false way. It
is not a confident brow, nor the throng of words
that come with such more than impudent sauciness from you
can thrust me from a level consideration. You have, as
it appears to me, practiced upon the easy dealing spirit
(05:50):
of this woman, and made her serve your uses, both
in perse and in person.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yea, in truth, my lord.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Pray the peace, pay her the debt you owe her,
and unpay the villainy you have done with her. The
one you may do with sterling money, and the other
with current repentance.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
My Lord, I will not undergo this sleep without reply.
You call honorable boldness impudent sauciness. If a man will
make a curtsey and say nothing, he is virtuous. No,
my Lord, my humble duty remembered. I will not be
your suitor. I say to you, I do desire deliverance
(06:34):
from these officers, being upon hasty employment in the King's affairs.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
You speak as having power to do wrong, But answer
in the effect of your reputation and satisfy the poor woman.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Come hither, Hostess, enter Gower.
Speaker 6 (06:54):

my dining chambers glasses.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Glasses is the only drinking and for thy walls a
pretty slight drawllery, or the story of the prodigal or

of these bedhangers and these fly bitten tapestries. Let it

This pray thee sir John, Let it be but twenty nobles.
If faith I am loathed upon my plate, so God
save me.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Lah let it alone. I'll make other shift. You'll be
a fool still.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Well, you shall have it, though I pawn my gown.
I hope you'll come to supper. You'll pay me altogether.
Speaker 9 (08:19):

Speaker 4 (08:28):
No more words?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Let's have her exitt Hostess Bardolf and officers.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
I have heard better news.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
What's the news, my lord?
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Where lay the king tonight at Basingstoke?
Speaker 10 (08:43):
My Lord?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I hope, my lord all's well? What is the news?

Speaker 6 (08:49):

Speaker 8 (08:53):
Fifteen hundred foot five hundred horse are marched up to

Speaker 4 (09:00):

Speaker 6 (09:03):
My noble lord, you shall have letters of me presently.
Come go along with me, good Master Gower?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
My lord?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
What's the matter, Master Gower?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Shall I entreat you with me to dinner?
Speaker 8 (09:16):
I must wait upon my good lord here? I thank you,
good Sir John.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Sir John, you loiter here too long, being you are
to take soldiers up in the countess as you go.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Will you sup with me, Master Gower?
Speaker 6 (09:31):
What foolish master taught you these manners, Sir John.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Master Gower, if they become me, not he was a fool,
that's taught them me. This is the right fencing grace,
my lord, tap foot tap, and so part.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Fair now the Lord lighten thee thou art a great fool.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Excellent scene too, London, another street, Enter Prince Henry and
points before God.
Speaker 11 (10:02):
I am exceeding weary?
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Is it come to that? I had thought weariness durst
not have attached one of so high blood faith.
Speaker 11 (10:10):
It does me, though it discolors the complexion of my
greatness to acknowledge it. Does it not show vilely in
me to desire small beer?
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Why a prince should not be so loosely studied as
to remember so weak a composition the like?
Speaker 11 (10:28):
Then my appetite was not princely gaunt. For by my
troth I do now remember the poor creature small beer.
But indeed these humble considerations make me out of love
with my greatness. What a disgrace it is to me
to remember thy name, or to know thy face tomorrow,
(10:48):
or to take note how many pair of silk stockings
thou hast these these and those that were thy peach
colored ones, Or to bear the inventory of thy shirts,
as one for superfluity and another for use, But that
the tennis court keeper knows better than I, for it
(11:11):
is a low ebb of linen with THEE. When thou
keepest not racket there as thou hast not done a
great while, because the rest of thy low countries have
made a shift to eat up thy holland. And God
knows whether those that ball out of the ruins of
thy linen shall inherit his kingdom. But the midwives say
the children are not in the fault. Whereupon the world
(11:34):
increases and kindreds are mightily strengthened.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
How ill it follows, after you have labored so hard
you should talk so idly? Tell me how many good
young princes would do so their father's being so sick
as yours at this time?
Speaker 11 (11:49):
Is Shall I tell THEE one thing points.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Yes, faith, and let it be an excellent good.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
Then it shall serve among wits of no higher breeding
than nine.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Go too. I stand the push of your one thing
that you will tell Mary.
Speaker 11 (12:06):
I tell THEE it is not meet that I should
be sad now my father is sick. Albeit I could
tell to THEE as to one it pleases me for
fault of a better to call my friend. I could
be sad, and sad indeed.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Too very hardly upon such a subject.
Speaker 11 (12:27):
By this hand, thou thinkest me as far in the
devil's book as Thou and Falstaff for obduracy and persistency.
Let the end try the man that I tell THEE
my heart bleeds inwardly that my father is so sick
and keeping such vile company as thou art hath in
(12:51):
reason taking from me all ostentation of.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Sorrow the reason?
Speaker 11 (12:56):
What wouldst thou think of me? If I should weep?
Speaker 7 (13:00):
I would think THEE a most princely hypocrite.
Speaker 11 (13:03):
It would be every man's thought, and thou art a
blessed fellow to think as every man thinks. Never a
man's thought in the world keeps the roadway better than thine.
Every man would think me an hypocrite. Indeed, And what
excites your most worshipful thoughts to think so?
Speaker 7 (13:22):
Why? Because you have been so lewde and so much
in graft to Falstaff and to thee. By this light,
I am well spoken. I can hear it with mine
own ears. The worst that they can say of me
is that I am a second brother, and that I
am a proper fellow of my hands. And those two
things I confess I cannot help. By the mass, Here
(13:46):
comes Bardolf.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Enter Bardolf, and Page, and the boy that I gave Falstaff.
Speaker 11 (13:53):
I had him from me Christian. And look if the
fat villain have not to transformed him.
Speaker 12 (13:58):
Ape, God save your great and yours most noble.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Bardo, Come, you virtuous ass, you bashful fool? Must you
be blushing? Wherefore blush you? Now? What a maidenly man
at arms are you become? Is it such a matter
to get a pottlepot's maidenhead?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
It calls me e'en now, my lord through a red lattice,
and I could discern no part of his face from
the window. At last I spied his eyes, and the
thought he had made two holes in the alewife's new petticoat,
and so peeped through.
Speaker 11 (14:31):
Has not the boy profited?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Away?
Speaker 12 (14:34):
You worse an upright rabbit.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Away away, you rascally Althea's dream away?
Speaker 11 (14:40):
Instruct us boy? What dream boy?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Mary? My Lord? Althea dreamt she was delivered of a firebrand,
and therefore I call him her dream.
Speaker 11 (14:49):
A crown's worth of good interpretation.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
There tis boy, oh, that this blossom could be kept
from Caker's well. There's sixpence to preserve thee.
Speaker 12 (14:58):
And you do not make him he hanged among you
the gallows shall have wrong.
Speaker 11 (15:03):
And how doth thy master Bodolph.
Speaker 12 (15:05):
Well, my lord, he heard of your graces coming to town.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Here's a letter for you, delivered with good respect. And
how doth the mortal mass your master in bodily health,
Sir Mary, the immortal part needs a physician, but that
moves not him. Though that be sick, it dies not.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
I do allow this well to be as familiar with
me as my dog, and he holds his place. For
look you, how he writes.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
Reads John Falstaff Knight. Every man must know that, as
oft as he has occasion to name himself, even like
those that are kin to the king. For they never
prick their finger, but they say there's some of the
King's blood spilt? How comes that? Says he that takes
upon him not to conceive? The answer is as ready
(15:59):
as a borrower's cap. I am the King's poor cousin, Sir.
Speaker 11 (16:03):
Nay, they will be kin to us, or they will
fetch it from yafet. But the letter reads, Sir John Falstaff,
knight to the son of the king nearest his father, Harry,
Prince of Wales, greeting.
Speaker 13 (16:19):
Why this is a certificate peace, reads, I will imitate
the honorable Romans in brevity.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
He sure means brevity in breath, short wounded.
Speaker 14 (16:33):
Reads M I commend me to THEE. I commend THEE,
and I leave THEE. Be not too familiar with points,
for he misuses thy favors so much that he swears
thou art to marry his sister Nell repent at idle
times as thou mayest, and so farewell thine by yea
(16:55):
en know which is as much to say as thou
usest him. Jack Falstaff with my familiars, John with my
brothers and sisters, and Sir John, with all Europe.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
My lord, I'll steep this letter and sack and make
him eat it.
Speaker 11 (17:12):
That's to make him eat twenty of his words. But
do you use me thus? Ned, must I marry your sister?
Speaker 7 (17:20):
God send the wench no worse fortune? But I never
said so well.
Speaker 11 (17:26):
Thus we play the fools with the time, and the
spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
Is he a master here? In London. Yea, my lord,
where's supsy? Doth the old boar feed and the old frank.
Speaker 12 (17:41):
At the old place, my lord?
Speaker 4 (17:43):

Speaker 5 (17:52):
None, my lord, but old mistress quickly, and mistress dull
tear sheet?
Speaker 11 (17:56):
What pagan?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
May that be?
Speaker 5 (17:58):
A proper gentlewoman, sir? And a kin's woman of my masters.
Speaker 11 (18:01):
Even such kin as the parish hypher as are to
the town bull, Shall we stay upon the ned at supper?
Speaker 7 (18:08):
I am your shadow, my Lord.
Speaker 11 (18:10):
I'll follow you, Sarah, you boy, and Bardav no word
to your master that I am yet come to town.
There's for your silence.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
I have no tongue, sir, and for mine, Sir, I
will govern it very well.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Go exit, Bardolph and page.
Speaker 11 (18:30):
This dull tear sheet. Should be some road.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
I warrant you as common as the way between Saint
Albans and London.
Speaker 11 (18:38):
I might re see Falstaff bestow himself tonight in his
true colors, and not ourselves be seen.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Put on two leathern jerkins and aprons, and wait upon
him at his table, as drawers from a god.
Speaker 11 (18:51):
To a bull. A heavy dissension. It was Jove's case
from a prince to apprentice. Hello, transformation that shall be mine,
For in everything the purpose must weigh with a folly.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Follow me ned excellent scene three Warkworth, before the castle,
enter Northumberland, Lady Northumberland, and Lady Percy.
Speaker 15 (19:17):
I pray thee loving wife and gentle daughter, give even
way unto my rough affairs. Put not you on the
visage of the times, and be like them to Percy.
Speaker 11 (19:27):
Troublesome I have given over.
Speaker 16 (19:30):
I will speak no more.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Do what you will.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Your wisdom be your guide.
Speaker 15 (19:35):
Alas, sweet wife, My honor is at pawn, and but
my going nothing can redeem it.
Speaker 16 (19:42):
Oh Yet, for God's sake, God not to these wars.
The time was, Father, when you broke your word, when
you were more endeared to it than now, when your
own Percy, when my heart, dear Harry, through many a
north would look to see her, his father bring up
his powers. But he did long in vain, who then
(20:06):
persuaded you to stay at home. There were two honors lost,
yours and your sons. For yours, the God of Heaven
brighten it for his It struck upon him like the
sun in the grave. Vault of heaven, and by his
light did all the chivalry of England move to do
brave acts. He was indeed the glass wherein the noble
(20:30):
youth did dress themselves. He had no legs that practiced,
not his gait, and speaking thick, which nature made his blemish,
became the accents of the valiant. For those that could
speak low and tardily would turn their own perfection to abuse,
to seem like him. So that in speech, in gait,
(20:51):
in diet, in affections of delight, in military rules, humors
of blood, he was the mark and glass, copy and
book that fashioned others. And him, oh, wondrous him, O
miracle of men. Him, did you leave second to none
(21:12):
unseconded by you to look upon the hideous god of
war and disadvantage, to abide a field for nothing but
the sound of Hotspur's name did seem defensible. So you
left him. Never, oh, never, do his ghost the wrong.
To hold your honor more precise and nice with others
(21:35):
than with him. Let them alone. The Marshal and the
Archbishop are strong.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Advice.
Speaker 16 (21:45):
Sweet Harry had but half their numbers. To day might
eye hanging on Hotspur's neck of talk of Mullet's grave.
Speaker 15 (21:51):
Beshrew your heart, fair daughter, you to draw my spirits
from me with new lamenting ancient oversights. But I must
go and meet with danger there, or it will seek
me in another place and find me worse.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Provided, Oh, fly to Scotland, to that the nobles and
the armed commons have of their puissants made a little taste.
Speaker 16 (22:14):
If they get ground advantage of the king, then join
you with them like a rib of steel to make
strength stronger. But for all our loves, first let them
try themselves. So did your son he was so suffered.
So came I a widow, and never shall have length
(22:37):
of life enough to reign upon remembrance with mine eyes,
that it may grow and sprout as high as heaven
for recordation to my noble husband.
Speaker 15 (22:47):
Come, come go in with me. Tis with my mind,
as with the tide swelled up into his height, that
makes us still stand running neither way fain would I
go to meet the archbishop. But many thousand reasons hold
me back. I will resolve for Scotland. There am I
till time advantage craved my company.

Mass, Thou sayst true. The Prince once set a dish
of apple John's before him and told him there were
five more Sir John's, and, putting off his hat, said
I will now take my leave of these six dry
round old withered knights. It angered him to the heart,
(23:49):
but he hath forgot that.
