Fal. Poins! Poins, and be hanged! Poins!
Prince. Peace, ye fat-kidneyed rascal! what a brawling[2276]5
dost thou keep!
Fal. Where's Poins, Hal?[2277]
Prince. He is walked up to the top of the hill: I'll go
seek him.[2278]
Fal. I am accursed to rob in that thief's company: the[2279]10
rascal hath removed my horse, and tied him I know not[2280]
where. If I travel but four foot by the squier further afoot,[2281]
I shall break my wind. Well, I doubt not but to die a fair
death for all this, if I 'scape hanging for killing that rogue.
I have forsworn his company hourly any time this two and[2282]15
twenty years, and yet I am bewitched with the rogue's[2282][2283]
company. If the rascal have not given me medicines to
make me love him, I'll be hanged; it could not be else; I
have drunk medicines. Poins! Hal! a plague upon you[2284]
both! Bardolph! Peto! I'll starve ere I'll rob a foot further.[2285]20
An 'twere not as good a deed as drink, to turn true[2286]
man and to leave these rogues, I am the veriest varlet that[2287]
ever chewed with a tooth. Eight yards of uneven ground
is threescore and ten miles afoot with me; and the stony-hearted
villains know it well enough: a plague upon it[2288]25
when thieves cannot be true one to another! [They whistle.][2289]
Whew! A plague upon you all! Give me my horse, you[2290]
rogues; give me my horse, and be hanged!
Prince. Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear
close to the ground and list if thou canst hear the tread of[2291]30
travellers.
Fal. Have you any levers to lift me up again, being
down? 'Sblood, I'll not bear mine own flesh so far afoot[2292]
again for all the coin in thy father's exchequer. What a
plague mean ye to colt me thus?35
Prince. Thou liest; thou art not colted, thou art uncolted.
Fal. I prithee, good Prince Hal, help me to my horse,
good king's son.
Prince. Out, ye rogue! shall I be your ostler?[2293]40
