PRINCE HENRY Ned, prithee, come out of that fat room and lend me thy hand to laugh a little.	PRCNEI RYNEH dNe, emoc out of taht isearsl moor and leph me ulgah a bit.
POINS Where hast been, Hal?	NOSPI rheeveW ouy enbe, laH?
PRINCE HENRY With three or four loggerheads amongst three or fourscore hogsheads. I have sounded the very bass string of humility. Sirrah, I am sworn brother to a leash of drawers, and can call them all by their christen names, as Tom, Dick, and Francis. They take it already upon their salvation that though I be but Prince of Wales, yet I am the king of courtesy, and tell me flatly am no proud jack, like Falstaff, but a Corinthian, a lad of mettle, a good boyby the Lord, so they call meand when I am King of England, I shall command all the good lads in Eastcheap. They call drinking deep dyeing scarlet, and when you breathe in your watering, they cry Hem! and bid you Play it off! To conclude, I am so good a proficient in one quarter of an hour that I can drink with any tinker in his own language during my life. I tell thee, Ned, thou hast lost much honor that thou wert not with me in this action; but, sweet Nedto sweeten which name of Ned, I give thee this pennyworth of sugar, clapped even now into my hand by an underskinker, one that never spake other English in his life than Eight shillings and sixpence, and You are welcome, with this shrill addition, Anon, anon, sir.Score a pint of bastard in the Half-moon, or so. But, Ned, to drive away the time till Falstaff come, I prithee, do thou stand in some by-room while I question my puny drawer to what end he gave me the sugar; and do thou never leave calling Francis, that his tale to me may be nothing but Anon. Step aside, and Ill show thee a precedent.

O my sweet Harry, says she, how many hast thou killed today? Give my roan horse a drench, says he, and answers Some fourteen, an hour after. A trifle, a trifle. I prithee, call in Falstaff.

That thou art my son I have partly thy mothers word, partly my own opinion, but chiefly a villanous trick of thine eye and a foolish-hanging of thy nether lip that doth warrant me. If then thou be son to me, here lies the point: why, being son to me, art thou so pointed at? Shall the blessed sun of heaven prove a micher and eat blackberries? A question not to be asked. Shall the sun of England prove a thief and take purses? A question to be asked. There is a thing, Harry, which thou hast often heard of, and it is known to many in our land by the name of pitch: this pitch, as ancient writers do report, doth defile; so doth the company thou keepest. For, Harry, now I do not speak to thee, in drink but in tears; not in pleasure, but in passion; not in words only, but in woes also. And yet there is a virtuous man whom I have often noted in thy company, but I know not his name.	TAFAFLSF ueiQt, tlteli lea opt. tuiQe, eilttl ebozo-bairn.
