KING。 Then�察�thief or true´man�察�I see I must stand。 I see�察�how soever
the world wags�察 �the trade of thieving yet will never down。 What art
thou�拭�
SIR JOHN。 A good fellow。
KING。 So am I too。 I see thou dost know me。
SIR JOHN。 If thou be a good fellow�察 �play the good fellow's part�此�
deliver thy purse without more ado。
KING。 I have no money。
SIR JOHN。 I must make you find some before we part。 If you have
no money�察�you shall have war�此 �as many sound dry blows as your skin
can carry。
KING。 Is that the plain truth�拭�
SIR JOHN。 Sirra�察�no more ado�察�come�察�come�察�give me the money you
have。 Dispatch�察�I cannot stand all day。
KING。 Well�察�if thou wilt needs have it�察�there tis�此 �just the proverb�察�one
thief robs another。 Where the devil are all my old thieves�察�that were wont
to keep this walk�拭 �Falstaff�察�the villain�察�is so fat�察�he cannot get on's horse�察�
but me thinks Poines and Peto should be stirring here about。
SIR JOHN。 How much is there on't�察�of thy word�拭�
KING。 A hundred pound in Angels�察�on my word。 The time has been I
would have done as much For thee�察�if thou hadst past this way�察�as I have
now。
SIR JOHN。 Sirra�察�what art thou�拭�thou seem'st a gentleman。
KING。 I am no less�察�yet a poor one now�察�for thou hast all my money。
SIR JOHN。 〃From whence cam'st thou�拭�
KING。 〃From the court at Eltham。
SIR JOHN。 Art thou one of the King's servants�拭�
KING。 Yes�察�that I am�察�and one of his chamber。
SIR JOHN。 I am glad thou art no worse�察�thou mayest the better spare
thy money�此 �& thinkst thou thou mightst get a poor thief his pardon�察�if
he should have need。 KING。 Yes�察�that I can。
SIR JOHN。 Wilt thou do so much for me�察�when I shall have occasion�拭�
KING。 Yes�察�faith will I�察�so it be for no murther。
SIR JOHN。 Nay�察�I am a pitiful thief�察�all the hurt I do a man�察�I take but

his purse�察�I'll kill no man。
KING。 Then�察�of my word�察�I'll do it。
SIR JOHN。 Give me thy hand of the same。
KING。 There tis。
SIR JOHN。 Me thinks the King should be good to thieves�察�because he
has been a thief himself�察�though I think now he be turned true´man。
KING。 Faith�察�I have heard indeed he has had an ill name that way in
his youth�察�but how canst thou tell he has been a thief�拭�
SIR JOHN。 How�拭 �Because he once robbed me before I fell to the
trade my self�察�when that foul villainous guts�察�that led him to all that rogery�察�
was in's company there�察�that Falstaff。
KING。 ��Aside。�А �Well�察�if he did rob thee then�察�thou art but even with
him now�察�I'll be sworn。Thou knowest not the king now�察�I think�察�if thou
sawest him�拭�
SIR JOHN。 Not I�察�yfaith。
KING。 ��Aside。�А �So it should seem。
SIR JOHN。 Well�察�if old King Henry had lived�察�this King that is now
had made thieving the best trade in England。
KING。 Why so�拭�
SIR JOHN。 Because he was the chief warden of our company。 It's
pity that e'er he should have been a King�察�he was so brave a thief。 But�察�
sirra�察�wilt remember my pardon if need be�拭�
KING。 Yes�察�faith�察�will I。
SIR JOHN。 Wilt thou�拭�well then�察�because thou shalt go safefor thou
mayest hap ��being so early�� be met with again before thou come to
Southwarkif any man�察�when he should bid thee good morrow�察�bid thee
stand�察�say thou but Sir John�察�and he will let thee pass。
KING。 Is that the word�拭�well�察�then�察�let me alone。
SIR JOHN。 Nay�察 �sirra�察 �because I think indeed I shall have some
occasion to use thee�察�& as thou comest oft this way�察�I may light on thee
another time not knowing thee�察�here� �I'll break this Angel。 Take thou half
of it�察�this is a token betwixt thee and me。
KING。 God have mercy�察�farewell。
