17.0.2Enter John Cobbler, and Robin Pewterer.
Now, John Cobbler, 1403didst thou see how the king did behave himself?
But, Robin, didst thou see what a policy 1405the king had? To see how the Frenchmen were killed 1406with the stakes of the trees!
Ay, John, there was a brave policy.
What are you, my masters?
Why, we be Englishmen.
Are you Englishmen? Then change your language, 1412for the king's tents are set afire, 1413and all they that speak English will be killed.
17.6.1[Exit Soldier.]
What shall we do, Robin? Faith, I'll shift, 1415for I can speak broken French.
Faith, so can I. Let's hear how thou canst speak.
Commodevales, Monsieur.
That's well. Come, let's be gone.
