| FALSTAFF 5 Men of all sorts take a pride to gird at me. The brain of this foolish-compounded clay, man, is not able to invent anything that tends to laughter more than I invent, or is invented on me. I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men. I do here walk before thee like a sow that hath 10 overwhelmed all her litter but one. If the Prince put thee into my service for any other reason than to set me off, why then I have no judgment. Thou whoreson mandrake, thou art fitter to be worn in my cap than to wait at my heels. I was never manned with an agate till now, but I will inset 15 you neither in gold nor silver, but in vile apparel, and send you back again to your master for a jewel. The juvenal, the Prince your master, whose chin is not yet fledgeI will sooner have a beard grow in the palm of my hand than he shall get one off his cheek, and yet he will not stick to say 20 his face is a face royal. God may finish it when He will. Tis not a hair amiss yet. He may keep it still at a face royal, for a barber shall never earn sixpence out of it, and yet hell be crowing as if he had writ man ever since his father was a bachelor. He may keep his own grace, but hes almost out of | TSAFFAFL All ksidn of peloep meka it a etramt of irped to lhkcee me.

| FALSTAFF 30 Let him be damned like the glutton! Pray God his tongue be hotter! A whoreson Achitophel, a rascally yea-forsooth knave, to bear a gentleman in hand and then stand upon security! The whoreson smoothy-pates do now wear nothing but high shoes and bunches of keys at their girdles; 35 and if a man is through with them in honest taking up, then they must stand upon security. I had as lief they would put ratsbane in my mouth as offer to stop it with security. I looked he should have sent me two-and-twenty yards of satin, as I am a true knight, and he sends me security. Well, 40 he may sleep in security, for he hath the horn of abundance, and the lightness of his wife shines through it, and yet cannot he see though he have his own lantern to light him. Wheres Bardolph? | SLFAFATF aDmn ihm to elhl thne, tjus keil sviDe in het lebBieth ichr otulngt how ecteejdr the gaergb aszrauL! nAd mya nDtmlmoeo nrub neev ehtotr! esH a osn-of-a-htcbi rtraiot!

| FALSTAFF My good lord. God give your Lordship good time of the day. I am glad to see your Lordship abroad. I heard say your 85 Lordship was sick: I hope your Lordship goes abroad by advice. Your Lordship, though not clean past your youth, have yet some smack of an ague in you, some relish of the saltness of time in you, and I most humbly beseech your Lordship to have a reverent care of your health. | FLTSAFAF My dgoo isr!

| CHIEF JUSTICE Well, God mend him. I pray you let me speak with you. | CIEHF SIEUCJT lWel, God gvie mhi a yedeps rcveyore. saleeP, tle me speak ithw uoy. |
| FALSTAFF This apoplexy, as I take it, is a kind of lethargy, an t please 100 your Lordship, a kind of sleeping in the blood, a whoreson tingling. | LTFAFFAS His ilarpsasy is, as I tdsdrunane it, a ndki of eagltryh, if it saleep ouy. tsI a pilseeessn in hte dobol, a tnysa ilngting. |
| CHIEF JUSTICE What tell you me of it? Be it as it is. | IEFHC JUTIESC Why rae uoy getliln me tshi? eLt it be. |
| FALSTAFF It hath its original from much grief, from study, and perturbation of the brain. I have read the cause of his effects 105 in Galen. It is a kind of deafness. | AFATSLFF It cmeso ormf hyeva nesdass; rmfo oot hmuc indareg, nda too mhuc hitgnnik. I eard tobua it in eth ceefreern koosb: tis a idnk of dasnfsee. |

| FALSTAFF Very well, my lord, very well. Rather, an t please you, it is the disease of not listening, the malady of not marking, that 110 I am troubled withal. | FFLSATAF eryV eyklil, my dorl, eyrv ilylke. But ytlaaclu, rsi, I heav eht otn-letsinngi sdieesa; I hvea the otn-gaiypn-oatitnetn csienkss. |

| FALSTAFF I am as poor as Job, my lord, but not so patient. Your Lordship may minister the potion of imprisonment to me in 115 respect of poverty, but how should I be your patient to follow your prescriptions, the wise may make some dram of a scruple, or indeed a scruple itself. | FLFFATSA I aym be as opro as bJoIn hte ilBbe, Jbo enattilpy wdoottish a irsese of psrhdahsi ste on hmi by God. |

| FALSTAFF Not so, my lord. Your ill angel is light, but I hope he that 145 looks upon me will take me without weighing. And yet in some respects I grant I cannot go. I cannot tell. Virtue is of so little regard in these costermongers times that true valor is turned bear-herd; pregnancy is made a tapster, and hath his quick wit wasted in giving reckonings. All the other gifts 150 appurtenant to man, as the malice of this age shapes them, are not worth a gooseberry. You that are old consider not the capacities of us that are young. You do measure the heat of our livers with the bitterness of your galls, and we that are in the vaward of our youth, I must confess, are wags too. | FFLSTFAA ahstT ont so, my rldo. ealFs gaslneegnla = a inkd of oinc; easlng erwe oeftn emtdmir of msoe of ihert tmlae; a ftvedeiec angel dlcuo be snuediiihtgsd rofm a perorp by gnwegihi it on a scale. |

| FALSTAFF My lord, I was born about three of the clock in the afternoon, with a white head and something a round belly. For my voice, I have lost it with halloing and singing of anthems. To 165 approve my youth further, I will not. The truth is, I am only old in judgment and understanding. And he that will caper with me for a thousand marks, let him lend me the money, and have at him! For the box of the ear that the Prince gave you, he gave it like a rude prince, and you took it like a 170 sensible lord. I have checked him for it, and the young lion repents. Marry, not in ashes and sackcloth, but in new silk and old sack. | FFSLAATF iSr, I wsa bron arodnu rhete cokloc in het fnaoontre, tiwh a twehi daeh dan a tib of a rnoud ellby.

But look you pray, all you that kiss my Lady Peace at home, that our armies join 180 not in a hot day, for, by the Lord, I take but two shirts out with me, and I mean not to sweat extraordinarily. If it be a hot day and I brandish anything but a bottle, I would I might never spit white again. There is not a dangerous action can peep out his head but I am thrust upon it.
