[I, 2]

By the Lord, thou sayest true, lad. And is not my
hostess of the tavern a most sweet wench?

Why, what a pox have I to do with my hostess of the tavern?

Henry IV, Part I
[II, 4]

Falstaff

1252

By the Lord, I knew ye as well as he that made ye.
Why, hear you, my masters: was it for me to kill the
heir-apparent? should I turn upon the true prince?
why, thou knowest I am as valiant as Hercules: but
beware instinct; the lion will not touch the true
prince. Instinct is a great matter; I was now a
coward on instinct. I shall think the better of
myself and thee during my life; I for a valiant
lion, and thou for a true prince. But, by the Lord,
lads, I am glad you have the money. Hostess, clap
to the doors: watch to-night, pray to-morrow.
Gallants, lads, boys, hearts of gold, all the titles
of good fellowship come to you! What, shall we be
merry? shall we have a play extempore?

Ye lie, hostess: Bardolph was shaved and lost many

Hostess, I forgive thee: go, make ready breakfast;

Now Hal, to the news at court: for the robbery,
lad, how is that answered?
