Davy. An't please your worship, there's one Pistol[4401]

Fal. From the court! let him come in.

Enter Pistol.[4402]

How now, Pistol![4403]

Pist. Sir John, God save you![4404]

Fal. What wind blew you hither, Pistol?

Pist. Not the ill wind which blows no man to good.[4405]85
Sweet knight, thou art now one of the greatest men in
this realm.[4406]

Sil. By'r lady, I think a' be, but goodman Puff of[4407]
Barson.[4408]

Pist. Puff!90
Puff in thy teeth, most recreant coward base![4409]
Sir John, I am thy Pistol and thy friend,[4409]
And helter-skelter have I rode to thee,[4409][4410]
And tidings do I bring and lucky joys[4409]
And golden times and happy news of price.[4409]95
