_Fal._ There's neither honesty, manhood, nor good fellowship in thee, nor thou earnest not of the blood royal, if[2072] 135 thou darest not stand for ten shillings.[2073] _Prince._ Well then, once in my days I'll be a madcap. _Fal._ Why, that's well said. _Prince._ Well, come what will, I'll tarry at home. _Fal._ By the Lord, I'll be a traitor then, when thou[2074] 140 art king. _Prince._ I care not. _Poins._ Sir John, I prithee, leave the prince and me[2075] alone: I will lay him down such reasons for this adventure that he shall go. 145 _Fal._ Well, God give thee the spirit of persuasion and[2076] him the ears of profiting, that what thou speakest may[2076] move and what he hears may be believed, that the true[2077] prince may, for recreation sake, prove a false thief; for the poor abuses of the time want countenance. Farewell: you 150 shall find me in Eastcheap. _Prince._ Farewell, thou latter spring! farewell, Allhallown[2078] summer! [_Exit Falstaff._[2079] _Poins._ Now, my good sweet honey lord, ride with us to-morrow: I have a jest to execute that I cannot manage 155 alone. Falstaff, Bardolph, Peto and Gadshill shall rob[2080] those men that we have already waylaid; yourself and I will not be there; and when they have the booty, if you and I do not rob them, cut this head off from my shoulders.[2081] _Prince._ How shall we part with them in setting[2082] 160 forth? _Poins._ Why, we will set forth before or after them, and appoint them a place of meeting, wherein it is at our pleasure to fail, and then will they adventure upon the exploit themselves; which they shall have no sooner achieved, but[2083] 165 we'll set upon them. _Prince._ Yea, but 'tis like that they will know us by[2084] our horses, by our habits and by every other appointment, to be ourselves. _Poins._ Tut! our horses they shall not see; I'll tie 170 them in the wood; our vizards we will change after we[2085] leave them: and, sirrah, I have cases of buckram for the[2086] nonce, to immask our noted outward garments. _Prince._ Yea, but I doubt they will be too hard for us.[2087] _Poins._ Well, for two of them, I know them to be as[2088][2089] 175 true-bred cowards as ever turned back; and for the third,[2089] if he fight longer than he sees reason, I'll forswear arms. The virtue of this jest will be, the incomprehensible lies that this same fat rogue will tell us when we meet at supper:[2090] how thirty, at least, he fought with; what wards, what[2091] 180 blows, what extremities he endured; and in the reproof of[2092] this lies the jest.[2093]
