A public place near Westminster Abbey.
[Enter two Grooms, strewing rushes]
FIRST GROOM
More rushes, more rushes.
SECOND GROOM
The trumpets have sounded twice.
FIRST GROOM
It will be two of the clock, ere they come from the coronation.
[Exeunt. Enter FALSTAFF, SHALLOW, PISTOL, BARDOLPH, and Page]
FALSTAFF
Stand here by me, Master Robert Shallow, I will make the king do you grace.
I will leer upon him, as he comes by: and do but mark the countenance that he
will give me.
PISTOL
God bless thy lungs, good knight.
FALSTAFF
Come here Pistol, stand behind me. O if I had had time to have made new
liveries, I would have bestowed the thousand pound I borrowed of you. But
it is no matter, this poor show doth better: this doth infer the zeal I had
to see him.
SHALLOW
It doth so.
FALSTAFF
It shows my earnestness in affection.
SHALLOW
It doth so.
FALSTAFF
My devotion.
SHALLOW
It doth, it doth, it doth.
FALSTAFF
As it were, to ride day and night,
, ,
, ,
,
And not to deliberate, not to remember,
Not to have patience to shift me.
SHALLOW
It is best, certain.
FALSTAFF
But to stand stained with travel, and sweating with desire to see him,
thinking of nothing else, putting all affairs else in oblivion, as if there
were nothing else to be done, but to see him.
PISTOL
'Tis semper idem: for obsque hoc nihil est. 'tis all in every part.
SHALLOW
'Tis so indeed.
PISTOL
My knight, I will inflame thy noble liver, and make thee rage. Thy Doll, and
Helen of thy noble thoughts is in base durance, and contagious prison: Haled
thither By most mechanical and dirty hand. Rouse up revenge from ebon den,
with fell Alecto's snake, For Doll is in. Pistol, speaks nought but truth.
FALSTAFF
I will deliver her.
[Shouts within, and the trumpets sound]
PISTOL

[Enter KING HENRY V and his train, the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE among them]
FALSTAFF
Save thy grace, King Hal, my royal Hal.
PISTOL
The heavens thee guard, and keep, most royal imp of fame.
FALSTAFF
Save thee my sweet boy!

FALSTAFF
Master Shallow, I owe you a thousand pound.
SHALLOW
Aye marry Sir John, which I beseech you to let me have home with me.
FALSTAFF
That can hardly be, Master Shallow. Do not you grieve at this: I shall be
sent for in private to him: look you, he must seem thus to the world: fear
not your advancement: I will be the man yet, that shall make you great.
SHALLOW
I cannot well perceive how, unless you should give me your doublet, and stuff
me out with straw. I beseech you, good Sir John, let me have five hundred of
my thousand.
FALSTAFF
Sir, I will be as good as my word. This that you heard, was but a color.
SHALLOW
A color I fear, that you will die, in Sir John.
