Act V. Scene IV.The Second Part of King Henry the Fourth
Quick.No, thou arrant knave: I would to God I might die that I might have thee hanged; thou hast drawn my shoulder out of joint.
First Bead.The constables have delivered her over to me, and she shall have whipping-cheer enough, I warrant her: there hath been a man or two lately killed about her.
Dol.Nut-hook, nut-hook, you lie. Come on; I’ll tell thee what, thou damned tripe-visaged rascal, an the child I now go with do miscarry, thou hadst better thou hadst struck thy mother, thou paper-faced villain.
Quick.O the Lord! that Sir John were come; he would make this a bloody day to somebody. But I pray God the fruit of her womb miscarry!
First Bead.If it do, you shall have a dozen of cushions again; you have but eleven now. Come, I charge you both go with me; for the man is dead that you and Pistol beat among you.
Dol.I’ll tell thee what, thou thin man in a censer, I will have you as soundly swinged for this, you blue-bottle rogue! you filthy famished correctioner! if you be not swinged, I’ll forswear half-kirtles.
First Bead.Come, come, you she knight-errant, come.
Quick.O, that right should thus overcome might! Well, of sufferance comes ease.
Dol.Come, you rogue, come: bring me to a justice.
Quick.Ay; come, you starved blood-hound.
Dol.Goodman death! goodman bones!
Quick.Thou atomy, thou!
Dol.Come, you thin thing; come, you rascal!
First Bead.Very well.[Exeunt.
