GADSHILL.
As we were sharing, some six or seven fresh men set upon us.
FALSTAFF.
And unbound the rest, and then come in the other.
PRINCE.
What, fought you with them all?
FALSTAFF.
All? I know not what you call all, but if I fought not with fifty of them I am a bunch of radish. If there were not two or three and fifty upon poor old Jack, then am I no two-legged creature.
PRINCE.
Pray God you have not murdered some of them.
FALSTAFF.
Nay, that’s past praying for. I have peppered two of them. Two I am sure I have paid, two rogues in buckram suits. I tell thee what, Hal, if I tell thee a lie, spit in my face, call me horse. Thou knowest my old ward. Here I lay, and thus I bore my point. Four rogues in buckram let drive at me.
PRINCE.
What, four? Thou saidst but two even now.
FALSTAFF.
Four, Hal, I told thee four.
POINS.
Ay, ay, he said four.
FALSTAFF.
These four came all afront, and mainly thrust at me. I made me no more ado, but took all their seven points in my target, thus.
