¶Lord Come all his forces backe?
¶Mess. No, fifteen hundred foot, fiue hundred horse
¶Are marcht vp to my lord of Lancaster,
¶Against Northumberland, and the Archbishop.
770Falst. Comes the King back from Wales, my noble lord?

¶Come, go along with me, good master Gower.
¶Falst. My lord.
¶Lord Whats the matter?
775Falstaffe Maister Gower, shall I intreate you with mee to
¶dinner?
¶Gower I must waite vpon my good lord here, I thank you
¶good sir Iohn.
¶Lord Sir Iohn, you loyter heere too long,
780Being you are to take souldiers vp
In Counties as you go.
¶Falstaffe Will you suppe with mee maister Gower?
¶Lord. What foolish maister taught you these manners, sir
¶Iohn?
¶Falstaffe Maister Gower, if they become me not, hee was a
785foole that taught them mee: this is the right fencing grace, my
¶Lord, tap for tap, and so part faire.

¶haue attacht one of so hie bloud.
795Prince Faith it does me, though it discolors the complexi-
¶on of my greatnes to acknowledge it: doth it not shew vildly
¶in me, to desire small beere?
¶Poynes Why a Prince should not be so loosely studied, as
¶to remember so weake a composition.
800Prince Belike then my appetite was not princely gote, for
¶by my troth, I do now remember the poor creature smal beere.
