[Here they both call him; the drawer stands amazed, not knowing which way to go.[2420]
Enter Vintner.
Vint. What, standest thou still, and hearest such a
calling? Look to the guests within. [Exit Francis.] My[2421]
lord, old Sir John, with half-a-dozen more, are at the door:
shall I let them in?80
Prince. Let them alone awhile, and then open the[2422]
door. [Exit Vintner.] Poins![2423]
Re-enter Poins.
Poins. Anon, anon, sir.
Prince. Sirrah, Falstaff and the rest of the thieves are
at the door: shall we be merry?85
Poins. As merry as crickets, my lad. But hark ye;
what cunning match have you made with this jest of the
drawer? come, what's the issue?
Prince. I am now of all humours that have showed
themselves humours since the old days of goodman Adam90
to the pupil age of this present twelve o'clock at midnight.[2424]
Re-enter Francis.
