| [Re-enter the Hostess] | |
| Hostess O Jesu, my lord, my lord! | |
| PRINCE HENRY Heigh, heigh! the devil rides upon a fiddlestick: | |
| what's the matter? | |
| Hostess The sheriff and all the watch are at the door: they | |
| are come to search the house. Shall I let them in? | |
| FALSTAFF Dost thou hear, Hal? never call a true piece of | |
| gold a counterfeit: thou art essentially mad, | |
| without seeming so. | |
| PRINCE HENRY And thou a natural coward, without instinct. | |
| FALSTAFF I deny your major: if you will deny the sheriff, | |
| so; if not, let him enter: if I become not a cart | |
| as well as another man, a plague on my bringing up! | |
