Fal. We have heard the chimes at midnight, Master
Shallow.
Shal. That we have, that we have, that we have; in[3937]205
faith, Sir John, we have: our watch-word was 'Hem boys!'[3938]
Come, let's to dinner; come, let's to dinner: Jesus, the[3939]
days that we have seen! Come, come.
[Exeunt Falstaff and the Justices.[3940]
Bull. Good Master Corporate Bardolph, stand my
friend; and here's four Harry ten shillings in French210
crowns for you. In very truth, sir, I had as lief be hanged,
sir, as 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 mine own part, so much.215
Bard. Go to; stand aside.
Moul. And, good master corporal captain, for my old[3941]
dame's sake, stand my friend: she has nobody to do any[3942]
thing about her when I am gone; and she is old, and cannot
help herself: you shall have forty, sir.[3943]220
Bard. Go to; stand aside.
Fee. By my troth, I care not; a man can die but once:[3944]
we owe God a death: I'll ne'er bear a base mind: an't[3945][3946]
be my destiny, so; an't be not, so: no man is too good to[3946]
serve's prince; and let it go which way it will, he that dies[3947]225
this year is quit for the next.
Bard. Well said; thou'rt a good fellow.[3948]
Fee. Faith, I'll bear no base mind.
