Falstaff.—Come, I will go drink with you.
(Exit Sir John and Justice Shallow.)
Bullcalf.—(Approaching Bardolph.) Good Master Corporate Bardolph, stand my friend; and here's four Harry ten shillings in French crowns for you. In very truth, sir, I'd as lief be hanged, sir, as to go; and yet for mine own part, sir, I do not care; but rather because I am unwilling, and, for mine own part, have a desire to stay with my friends; else, sir, I did not care, for my own part, so much.
Bardolph.—(Pocketing the money.) Go to; stand aside.
Feeble.—By my troth, I care not.
