_Fal._ I grant ye, upon instinct. Well, he is there too, and one Mordake, and a thousand blue-caps more: Worcester is stolen away to-night; thy father's beard is turned[2517] 345 white with the news: you may buy land now as cheap as stinking mackerel. _Prince._ Why, then, it is like, if there come a hot[2518] June and this civil buffeting hold, we shall buy maidenheads[2519] as they buy hob-nails, by the hundreds.[2520] 350 _Fal._ By the mass, lad, thou sayest true; it is like we shall have good trading that way. But tell me, Hal, art not[2521][2522] thou horrible afeard? thou being heir-apparent, could the[2522][2523] world pick thee out three such enemies again as that fiend Douglas, that spirit Percy, and that devil Glendower? art 355 thou not horribly afraid? doth not thy blood thrill at it?[2524] _Prince._ Not a whit, i' faith; I lack some of thy instinct.[2525] _Fal._ Well, thou wilt be horribly chid to-morrow when[2526] thou comest to thy father: if thou love me, practise an[2527] answer. 360 _Prince._ Do thou stand for my father, and examine me upon the particulars of my life. _Fal._ Shall I? content: this chair shall be my state, this dagger my sceptre, and this cushion my crown. _Prince._ Thy state is taken for a joined-stool, thy[2528] 365 golden sceptre for a leaden dagger, and thy precious rich crown for a pitiful bald crown! _Fal._ Well, an the fire of grace be not quite out of[2529] thee, now shalt thou be moved. Give me a cup of sack to make my eyes look red, that it may be thought I have[2530] 370 wept; for I must speak in passion, and I will do it in King Cambyses' vein. _Prince._ Well, here is my leg.[2531] _Fal._ And here is my speech. Stand aside, nobility. _Host._ O Jesu, this is excellent sport, i' faith![2532] 375 _Fal._ Weep not, sweet queen; for trickling tears are vain.[2533] _Host._ O, the father, how he holds his countenance![2534] _Fal._ For God's sake, lords, convey my tristful queen;[2535] For tears do stop the flood-gates of her eyes. _Host._ O Jesu, he doth it as like one of these harlotry[2536] 380 players as ever I see!
