Prince。 ＇aside to Poins＇ Ned； where are our disguises？ Poins。 ＇aside to
Prince＇ Here； hard by。 Stand close。 ＇Exeunt Prince and Poins。＇ Fal。 Now；
my masters； happy man be his dole； say I。 Every man to his business。
Enter the Travellers。
Traveller。 Come； neighbour。 The boy shall lead our horses down the
hill； We'll walk afoot awhile and ease our legs。 Thieves。 Stand！ Traveller。
Jesus bless us！ Fal。 Strike！ down with them！ cut the villains' throats！ Ah；
whoreson caterpillars！ bacon…fed knaves！ they hate us youth。 Down with
them！ fleece them！ Traveller。 O； we are undone； both we and ours for ever！
Fal。 Hang ye； gorbellied knaves； are ye undone？ No； ye fat chuffs； I would
your store were here！ On； bacons on！ What； ye knaves！ young men must
live。 You are grandjurors； are ye？ We'll jure ye； faith！ Here they rob and
bind them。 Exeunt。
Enter the Prince and Poins ＇in buckram suits＇。
Prince。 The thieves have bound the true men。 Now could thou and I
rob the thieves and go merrily to London； it would be argument for a week；
laughter for a month； and a good jest for ever。 Poins。 Stand close！ I hear
them coming。 ＇They stand aside。＇
Enter the Thieves again。
Fal。 Come； my masters； let us share； and then to horse before day。 An

the Prince and Poins be not two arrant cowards； there's no equity stirring。
There's no more valour in that Poins than in a wild duck。
＇As they are sharing； the Prince and Poins set upon them。 THey all
run away； and Falstaff； after a blow or two； runs awasy too； leaving the
booty behind them。＇
Prince。 Your money！ Poins。 Villains！
Prince。 Got with much ease。 Now merrily to horse。 The thieves are
scattered； and possess'd with fear So strongly that they dare not meet each
other。 Each takes his fellow for an officer。 Away； good Ned。 Falstaff
sweats to death And lards the lean earth as he walks along。 Were't not for
laughing； I should pity him。 Poins。 How the rogue roar'd！ Exeunt。

SCENE III。 Warkworth Castle。
Enter Hotspur solus； reading a letter。
Hot。 'But； for mine own part； my lord； I could be well contented to be
there； in respect of the love I bear your house。' He could be contented…
why is he not then？ In respect of the love he bears our house！ He shows in
this he loves his own barn better than he loves our house。 Let me see some
more。 'The purpose you undertake is dangerous'… Why； that's certain！ 'Tis
dangerous to take a cold； to sleep； to drink； but I tell you； my lord fool； out
of this nettle； danger； we pluck this flower； safety。 'The purpose you
undertake is dangerous； the friends you have named uncertain； the time
itself unsorted； and your whole plot too light for the counterpoise of so
great an opposition。' Say you so； say you so？ I say unto you again； you are
a shallow； cowardly hind； and you lie。 What a lack…brain is this！ By the
Lord； our plot is a good plot as ever was laid； our friends true and constant：
a good plot； good friends； and full of expectation； an excellent plot； very
good friends。 What a frosty…spirited rogue is this！ Why； my Lord of York
commends the plot and the general course of the
action。 Zounds； an I were now by this rascal； I could brain him with
his lady's fan。 Is there not my father； my uncle； and myself； Lord Edmund
Mortimer； my Lord of York； and Owen Glendower？ Is there not； besides；
the Douglas？ Have I not all their letters to meet me in arms by the ninth of
the next month； and are they not some of them set forward already？ What
a pagan rascal is this！ an infidel！ Ha！ you shall see now； in very sincerity
of fear and cold heart will he to the King and lay open all our proceedings。
O； I could divide myself and go to buffets for moving such a dish of skim
milk with so honourable an action！ Hang him； let him tell the King！ we are
prepared。 I will set forward to…night。
Enter his Lady。
How now； Kate？ I must leave you within these two hours。 Lady。 O
my good lord； why are you thus alone？ For what offence have I this
fortnight been A banish'd woman from my Harry's bed； Tell me； sweet lord；
what is't that takes from thee Thy stomach； pleasure； and thy golden sleep？
Why dost thou bend thine eyes upon the earth； And start so often when
32

thou sit'st alone？ Why hast thou lost the fresh blood in thy cheeks And
given my treasures and my rights of thee To thick…ey'd musing and curs'd
melancholy？ In thy faint slumbers I by thee have watch'd； And heard thee
murmur tales of iron wars； Speak terms of manage to thy bounding steed；
Cry 'Courage！ to the field！' And thou hast talk'd Of sallies and retires； of
trenches； tent； Of palisadoes； frontiers； parapets； Of basilisks； of cannon；
culverin； Of prisoners' ransom； and of soldiers slain； And all the currents
of a heady fight。 Thy spirit within thee hath been so at war； And thus hath
so bestirr'd thee in thy sleep； That beads of sweat have stood upon thy
brow Like bubbles ill a late…disturbed stream； And in thy face strange
motions have appear'd； Such as we see when men restrain their breath On
some great sudden hest。 O； what portents are these？ Some heavy business
hath my lord in hand； And I must know it； else he loves me not。 Hot。 What；
ho！
＇Enter a Servant。＇
Is Gilliams with the packet gone？ Serv。 He is； my lord； an hour ago。
Hot。 Hath Butler brought those horses from the sheriff？ Serv。 One horse；
my lord； he brought even now。 Hot。 What horse？ A roan； a crop…ear； is it
not？ Serv。 It is； my lord。 Hot。 That roan shall be my throne。 Well； I will
back him straight。 O esperance！ Bid Butler lead him forth into the park。
＇Exit Servant。＇ Lady。 But hear you； my lord。 Hot。 What say'st thou； my
lady？ Lady。 What is it carries you away？ Hot。 Why； my horse； my love…
my horse！ Lady。 Out； you mad…headed ape！ A weasel hath not such a deal
of spleen As you are toss'd with。 In faith； I'll know your business； Harry；
that I will！ I fear my brother Mortimer doth stir About his title and hath
sent for you To line his enterprise； but if you go… Hot。 So far afoot； I shall
be weary； love。 Lady。 Come； come； you paraquito； answer me Directly
unto this question that I ask。 I'll break thy little finger； Harry； An if thou
wilt not tell my all things true。 Hot。 Away。 Away； you trifler！ Love？ I love
thee not； I care not for thee； Kate。 This is no world To play with mammets
and to tilt with lips。 We must have bloody noses and crack'd crowns； And
pass them current too。 Gods me； my horse！ What say'st thou； Kate？ What
wouldst thou have with me？ Lady。 Do you not love me？ do you not indeed？
Well； do not then； for since you love me not； I will not love myself。 Do

you not love me？ Nay； tell me if you speak in jest or no。 Hot。 Come； wilt
thou see me ride？ And when I am a…horseback； I will swear I love thee
infinitely。 But hark you。 Kate： I must not have you henceforth question me
Whither I go； nor reason whereabout。 Whither I must； I must； and to
conclude； This evening must I leave you； gentle Kate。 I know you wise；
but yet no farther wise Than Harry Percy's wife； constant you are； But yet
a woman； and for secrecy； No lady closer； for I well believe Thou wilt not
utter what thou dost not know； And so far will I trust thee； gentle Kate。
Lady。 How？ so far？ Hot。 Not an inch further。 But hark you； Kate： Whither
I go； thither shall you go too； To…day will I set forth； to…morrow you。 Will
this content you； Kate；？ Lady。 It must of force。 Exeunt。

Prince。 Ned； prithee come out of that fat…room and lend me thy hand
to laugh a little。 Poins。 Where hast
