_Enter the_ Lord Chief Justice _and_ Servant.[3359] _Page._ Sir, here comes the nobleman that committed[3360] the prince for striking him about Bardolph. _Fal._ Wait close; I will not see him.[3361] _Ch. Just._ What's he that goes there? _Serv._ Falstaff, an't please your lordship.[3362] 55 _Ch. Just._ He that was in question for the robbery? _Serv._ He, my lord: but he hath since done good service at Shrewsbury; and, as I hear, is now going with some charge to the Lord John of Lancaster. _Ch. Just._ What, to York? Call him back again. 60 _Serv._ Sir John Falstaff! _Fal._ Boy, tell him I am deaf. _Page._ You must speak louder; my master is deaf. _Ch. Just._ I am sure he is, to the hearing of any thing good. Go, pluck him by the elbow; I must speak with him. 65 _Serv._ Sir John! _Fal._ What! a young knave, and begging! Is there not[3363] wars? is there not employment? doth not the king lack[3364] subjects? do not the rebels need soldiers? Though it be a[3365] shame to be on any side but one, it is worse shame to beg 70 than to be on the worst side, were it worse than the name of rebellion can tell how to make it. _Serv._ You mistake me, sir. _Fal._ Why, sir, did I say you were an honest man?[3366] setting my knighthood and my soldiership aside, I had lied in 75 my throat, if I had said so.[3367] _Serv._ I pray you, sir, then set your knighthood and your soldiership aside; and give me leave to tell you, you lie in your throat, if you say I am any other than an[3368] honest man. 80 _Fal._ I give thee leave to tell me so! I lay aside that which grows to me! If thou gettest any leave of me, hang me; if thou takest leave, thou wert better be hanged. You hunt counter: hence! avaunt![3369] _Serv._ Sir, my lord would speak with you. 85 _Ch. Just._ Sir John Falstaff, a word with you. _Fal._ My good lord! God give your lordship good time[3370] of day. I am glad to see your lordship abroad: I heard say[3371] your lordship was sick: I hope your lordship goes abroad by advice. Your lordship, though not clean past your 90 youth, hath yet some smack of age in you, some relish of[3372] the saltness of time; and I most humbly beseech your[3373] lordship to have a reverend care of your health. _Ch. Just._ Sir John, I sent for you before your expedition[3374] to Shrewsbury. 95 _Fal._ An't please your lordship, I hear his majesty is[3375] returned with some discomfort from Wales.[3376] _Ch. Just._ I talk not of his majesty: you would not come when I sent for you.
