First Draw. Why, then, cover, and set them down: and10
see if thou canst find out Sneak's noise; Mistress Tearsheet
would fain hear some music. Dispatch: the room where[3651][3652]
they supped is too hot; they'll come in straight.[3652]
Sec. Draw. Sirrah, here will be the prince and Master[3652]
Poins anon; and they will put on two of our jerkins and15
aprons; and Sir John must not know of it: Bardolph hath
brought word.[3653]
First Draw. By the mass, here will be old utis: it will[3654]
be an excellent stratagem.
Sec. Draw. I'll see if I can find out Sneak. [Exit.20
Enter Hostess and Doll Tearsheet.[3655]
Host. I'faith, sweetheart, methinks now you are in an[3656]
excellent good temperality: your pulsidge beats as extraordinarily
as heart would desire; and your colour, I warrant
you, is as red as any rose, in good truth, la! But, i'[3657]
faith, you have drunk too much canaries; and that's a[3658]25
marvellous searching wine, and it perfumes the blood ere
one can say 'What's this?' How do you now?[3659]
Dol. Better than I was: hem!
Host. Why, that's well said; a good heart's worth[3660]
gold. Lo, here comes Sir John.30
Enter Falstaff.[3661]
Fal. [Singing] 'When Arthur first in court'—Empty[3662]
the jordan. [Exit First Drawer].—[Singing] 'And was a[3662][3663]
worthy king.' How now, Mistress Doll!
