_Prince._ What didst thou lose, Jack? 95 _Fal._ Wilt thou believe me, Hal? three or four bonds of forty pound a-piece, and a seal-ring of my grandfather's.[2832] _Prince._ A trifle, some eight-penny matter. _Host._ So I told him, my lord; and I said I heard your grace say so: and, my lord, he speaks most vilely of 100 you, like a foul-mouthed man as he is; and said he would[2833] cudgel you. _Prince._ What! he did not? _Host._ There's neither faith, truth, nor womanhood in me else. 105 _Fal._ There's no more faith in thee than in a stewed[2834] prune; nor no more truth in thee than in a drawn fox; and[2835] for womanhood, Maid Marian may be the deputy's wife of the ward to thee. Go, you thing, go.[2836] _Host._ Say, what thing? what thing? 110 _Fal._ What thing! why, a thing to thank God on.[2837] _Host._ I am no thing to thank God on, I would thou[2837][2838] shouldst know it; I am an honest man's wife: and, setting thy knighthood aside, thou art a knave to call me so. _Fal._ Setting thy womanhood aside, thou art a beast 115 to say otherwise. _Host._ Say, what beast, thou knave, thou? _Fal._ What beast! why, an otter. _Prince._ An otter, Sir John! why an otter? _Fal._ Why, she's neither fish nor flesh; a man knows 120 not where to have her. _Host._ Thou art an unjust man in saying so: thou or[2839] any man knows where to have me, thou knave, thou! _Prince._ Thou sayest true, hostess; and he slanders thee most grossly. 125 _Host._ So he doth you, my lord; and said this other day you ought him a thousand pound.[2840] _Prince._ Sirrah, do I owe you a thousand pound? _Fal._ A thousand pound, Hal! a million: thy love is worth a million: thou owest me thy love. 130 _Host._ Nay, my lord, he called you Jack, and said he would cudgel you. _Fal._ Did I, Bardolph? _Bard._ Indeed, Sir John, you said so. _Fal._ Yea, if he said my ring was copper. 135 _Prince._ I say 'tis copper: darest thou be as good as thy word now? _Fal._ Why, Hal, thou knowest, as thou art but man, I[2841] dare: but as thou art prince, I fear thee as I fear the roaring[2842] of the lion's whelp. 140 _Prince._ And why not as the lion? _Fal._ The king himself is to be feared as the lion: dost thou think I'll fear thee as I fear thy father? nay, an I do,[2843] I pray God my girdle break.[2844]
