Poins!—Now shall we know if Gadshill have set a match

Falstaff
Poins!—Now shall we know if Gadshill have set a
match. O, if men were to be saved by merit, what
hole in hell were hot enough for him? This is the
most omnipotent villain that ever cried “Stand!” to
a true man.
Prince Hal
Good morrow, Ned.

Sir John stands to his word. The devil shall
have his bargain, for he was never yet a breaker of
proverbs. He will give the devil his due.

Poins
Good morrow, sweet Hal.—What says Monsieur
Remorse? What says Sir John Sack-and-Sugar?
Jack, how agrees the devil and thee about
thy soul that thou soldest him on Good Friday last
for a cup of Madeira and a cold capon’s leg?
Prince Hal
Sir John stands to his word. The devil shall
have his bargain, for he was never yet a breaker of
proverbs. He will give the devil his due.
Poins, to Falstaff
Then art thou damned for keeping
thy word with the devil.
Prince Hal
Else he had been damned for cozening the devil.
Poins
But, my lads, my lads, tomorrow morning, by
four o’clock early at Gad’s Hill, there are pilgrims
going to Canterbury with rich offerings, and traders
riding to London with fat purses. I have vizards for
you all. You have horses for yourselves. Gadshill lies
tonight in Rochester. I have bespoke supper tomorrow
night in Eastcheap. We may do it as secure as
sleep. If you will go, I will stuff your purses full of
crowns. If you will not, tarry at home and be hanged.
Falstaff
Hear you, Yedward, if I tarry at home and
go not, I’ll hang you for going.
Poins
You will, chops?
Falstaff
Hal, wilt thou make one?
Prince Hal
Who, I rob? I a thief? Not I, by my faith.
Falstaff
There’s neither honesty, manhood, nor
good fellowship in thee, nor thou cam’st not of
the blood royal, if thou darest not stand for ten shillings.
Prince Hal
Well then, once in my days I’ll be a madcap.
Falstaff
Why, that’s well said.
Prince Hal
Well, come what will, I’ll tarry at home.
Falstaff
By the Lord, I’ll be a traitor then when thou
art king.
Prince Hal
I care not.
Poins
Sir John, I prithee leave the Prince and me
alone. I will lay him down such reasons for this
adventure that he shall go.
Falstaff
Well, God give thee the spirit of persuasion,
and him the ears of profiting, that what thou
speakest may move, and what he hears may be
believed, that the true prince may, for recreation
sake, prove a false thief, for the poor abuses of the
time want countenance. Farewell. You shall find me
in Eastcheap.
Prince Hal
Farewell, thou  latter spring. Farewell, Allhallown
summer. Falstaff exits.
