23172048And we with sober speede will follow you.

23182049Falst. My Lord, I beseech you giue me leaue to go through

23192050Glostershire, and when you come to court, stand my good lord

23202051in your good report.

23212052Prince Fare you wel Falstaffe, I, in my condition, shal better

23222053speake of you then you deserue.

23232054Fal. I would you had the wit, twere better than your duke-

23242055dome, good faith this same yong sober blouded boy doth not

23252056loue me, nor a mã cãnot make him laugh, but thats no maruel,

23262057he drinkes no wine, theres neuer none of these demure boyes

23282058come to any proofe, for thin drinke doth so ouer-coole theyr

23292059blood, and making many fish meales, that they fall into a kind

23302060of male greene sicknes, and then when they marry, they gette

23312061wenches, they are generally fooles and cowards, which some

23322062of vs should be too, but for inflammation: a good sherris sacke

23332063hath a two fold operation in it, it ascendes mee into the braine,

23342064dries me there all the foolish, and dull, and crudy vapors which

23362065enuirone it, makes it apprehensiue, quicke, forgetiue, full of

23372066nimble, fiery, and delectable shapes, which deliuered ore to

23382067the voyce, the tongue, which is the birth, becomes excellent

23392068wit. The second property of your excellent sherris, is the war-

23402069ming of the blood, which before (cold & setled,) left the lyuer

23412070white & pale, which is the badge of pusilanimitie and cowar-

23432071dize: but the sherris warmes it, and makes it course from the

23442072inwards to the partes extreames, it illumineth the face, which

23452073as a beakon, giues warning to al the rest of this little kingdom

23462074man to arme, and then the vitall commoners, and inland petty

23472075spirits, muster me all to their captaine, the heart: who great, and

23482076pufft vp with this retinew, doth any deed of courage: and this

23502077valour comes of sherris, so that skill in the weapon is nothing

23512078without sacke (for that sets it aworke) and learning a meere

23522079whoord of gold kept by a diuell, till sacke commences it, and

23532080sets it in act and vse. Hereof comes it, that Prince Harry is

23542081valiant, for the cold blood he did naturally inherite of his fa-

23552082ther, he hath like leane, sterile, and bare land, manured, hus-
