<H3>SCENE II. The highway, near Gadshill.</h3>

<p><blockquote>
<i>Enter PRINCE HENRY and POINS</i>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech1><b>POINS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>Come, shelter, shelter: I have removed Falstaff's</A><br>
<A NAME=2>horse, and he frets like a gummed velvet.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech2><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=3>Stand close.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter FALSTAFF</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech3><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=4>Poins! Poins, and be hanged! Poins!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech4><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=5>Peace, ye fat-kidneyed rascal! what a brawling dost</A><br>
<A NAME=6>thou keep!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech5><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=7>Where's Poins, Hal?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech6><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=8>He is walked up to the top of the hill: I'll go seek him.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech7><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=9>I am accursed to rob in that thief's company: the</A><br>
<A NAME=10>rascal hath removed my horse, and tied him I know</A><br>
<A NAME=11>not where. If I travel but four foot by the squier</A><br>
<A NAME=12>further afoot, I shall break my wind. Well, I doubt</A><br>
<A NAME=13>not but to die a fair death for all this, if I</A><br>
<A NAME=14>'scape hanging for killing that rogue. I have</A><br>
<A NAME=15>forsworn his company hourly any time this two and</A><br>
<A NAME=16>twenty years, and yet I am bewitched with the</A><br>
<A NAME=17>rogue's company. If the rascal hath not given me</A><br>
<A NAME=18>medicines to make me love him, I'll be hanged; it</A><br>
<A NAME=19>could not be else: I have drunk medicines. Poins!</A><br>
<A NAME=20>Hal! a plague upon you both! Bardolph! Peto!</A><br>
<A NAME=21>I'll starve ere I'll rob a foot further. An 'twere</A><br>
<A NAME=22>not as good a deed as drink, to turn true man and to</A><br>
<A NAME=23>leave these rogues, I am the veriest varlet that</A><br>
<A NAME=24>ever chewed with a tooth. Eight yards of uneven</A><br>
<A NAME=25>ground is threescore and ten miles afoot with me;</A><br>
<A NAME=26>and the stony-hearted villains know it well enough:</A><br>
<A NAME=27>a plague upon it when thieves cannot be true one to another!</A><br>
<p><i>They whistle</i></p>
<A NAME=28>Whew! A plague upon you all! Give me my horse, you</A><br>
<A NAME=29>rogues; give me my horse, and be hanged!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech8><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=30>Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close</A><br>
<A NAME=31>to the ground and list if thou canst hear the tread</A><br>
<A NAME=32>of travellers.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech9><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=33>Have you any levers to lift me up again, being down?</A><br>
<A NAME=34>'Sblood, I'll not bear mine own flesh so far afoot</A><br>
<A NAME=35>again for all the coin in thy father's exchequer.</A><br>
<A NAME=36>What a plague mean ye to colt me thus?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech10><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=37>Thou liest; thou art not colted, thou art uncolted.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech11><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=38>I prithee, good Prince Hal, help me to my horse,</A><br>
<A NAME=39>good king's son.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech12><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=40>Out, ye rogue! shall I be your ostler?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech13><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=41>Go, hang thyself in thine own heir-apparent</A><br>
<A NAME=42>garters! If I be ta'en, I'll peach for this. An I</A><br>
<A NAME=43>have not ballads made on you all and sung to filthy</A><br>
<A NAME=44>tunes, let a cup of sack be my poison: when a jest</A><br>
<A NAME=45>is so forward, and afoot too! I hate it.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter GADSHILL, BARDOLPH and PETO</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech14><b>GADSHILL</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=46>Stand.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech15><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=47>So I do, against my will.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech16><b>POINS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=48>O, 'tis our setter: I know his voice. Bardolph,</A><br>
<A NAME=49>what news?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech17><b>BARDOLPH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=50>Case ye, case ye; on with your vizards: there 's</A><br>
<A NAME=51>money of the king's coming down the hill; 'tis going</A><br>
<A NAME=52>to the king's exchequer.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech18><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=53>You lie, ye rogue; 'tis going to the king's tavern.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech19><b>GADSHILL</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=54>There's enough to make us all.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech20><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=55>To be hanged.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech21><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=56>Sirs, you four shall front them in the narrow lane;</A><br>
<A NAME=57>Ned Poins and I will walk lower: if they 'scape</A><br>
<A NAME=58>from your encounter, then they light on us.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech22><b>PETO</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=59>How many be there of them?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech23><b>GADSHILL</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=60>Some eight or ten.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech24><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=61>'Zounds, will they not rob us?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech25><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=62>What, a coward, Sir John Paunch?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech26><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=63>Indeed, I am not John of Gaunt, your grandfather;</A><br>
<A NAME=64>but yet no coward, Hal.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech27><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=65>Well, we leave that to the proof.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech28><b>POINS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=66>Sirrah Jack, thy horse stands behind the hedge:</A><br>
<A NAME=67>when thou needest him, there thou shalt find him.</A><br>
<A NAME=68>Farewell, and stand fast.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech29><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=69>Now cannot I strike him, if I should be hanged.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech30><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=70>Ned, where are our disguises?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech31><b>POINS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=71>Here, hard by: stand close.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt PRINCE HENRY and POINS</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech32><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=72>Now, my masters, happy man be his dole, say I:</A><br>
<A NAME=73>every man to his business.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter the Travellers</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech33><b>First Traveller</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=74>Come, neighbour: the boy shall lead our horses down</A><br>
<A NAME=75>the hill; we'll walk afoot awhile, and ease our legs.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech34><b>Thieves</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=76>Stand!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech35><b>Travellers</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=77>Jesus bless us!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech36><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=78>Strike; down with them; cut the villains' throats:</A><br>
<A NAME=79>ah! whoreson caterpillars! bacon-fed knaves! they</A><br>
<A NAME=80>hate us youth: down with them: fleece them.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech37><b>Travellers</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=81>O, we are undone, both we and ours for ever!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech38><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=82>Hang ye, gorbellied knaves, are ye undone? No, ye</A><br>
<A NAME=83>fat chuffs: I would your store were here! On,</A><br>
<A NAME=84>bacons, on! What, ye knaves! young men must live.</A><br>
<A NAME=85>You are Grand-jurors, are ye? we'll jure ye, 'faith.</A><br>
<p><i>Here they rob them and bind them. Exeunt</i></p>
<p><i>Re-enter PRINCE HENRY and POINS</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech39><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=86>The thieves have bound the true men. Now could thou</A><br>
<A NAME=87>and I rob the thieves and go merrily to London, it</A><br>
<A NAME=88>would be argument for a week, laughter for a month</A><br>
<A NAME=89>and a good jest for ever.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech40><b>POINS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=90>Stand close; I hear them coming.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter the Thieves again</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech41><b>FALSTAFF</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=91>Come, my masters, let us share, and then to  horse</A><br>
<A NAME=92>before day. An the Prince and Poins be not two</A><br>
<A NAME=93>arrant cowards, there's no equity stirring: there's</A><br>
<A NAME=94>no more valour in that Poins than in a wild-duck.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech42><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=95>Your money!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech43><b>POINS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=96>Villains!</A><br>
<p><i>As they are sharing, the Prince and Poins set upon  them; they all run away; and Falstaff, after a blow or two, runs away too, leaving the booty behind them</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech44><b>PRINCE HENRY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=97>Got with much ease. Now merrily to horse:</A><br>
<A NAME=98>The thieves are all scatter'd and possess'd with fear</A><br>
<A NAME=99>So strongly that they dare not meet each other;</A><br>
<A NAME=100>Each takes his fellow for an officer.</A><br>
<A NAME=101>Away, good Ned. Falstaff sweats to death,</A><br>
<A NAME=102>And lards the lean earth as he walks along:</A><br>
<A NAME=103>Were 't not for laughing, I should pity him.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech45><b>POINS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=104>How the rogue roar'd!</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt</i></p>
