Henry IV, Part II by William Shakespeare






Act 5 - Scene 4



London. A street



First Beadle : The constables have delivered her over to me; and she [p]shall have
whipping-cheer enough, I warrant her. There hath been [p]a man or two
lately kill'd about her.

Doll Tearsheet : Nut-hook, nut-hook, you lie. Come on; I'll tell thee what, [p]thou
damn'd tripe-visag'd rascal, an the child I now go with
do [p]miscarry, thou wert better thou hadst struck thy mother,
thou [p]paper-fac'd villain.

First Beadle : If it do, you shall have a dozen of cushions again; [p]you have but
eleven now. Come, I charge you both go with me; for [p]the man is dead
that you and Pistol beat amongst you.

Doll Tearsheet : I'll tell you what, you thin man in a censer, I will have you [p]as
soundly swing'd for this--you blue-bottle rogue, you
filthy [p]famish'd correctioner, if you be not swing'd, I'll
forswear [p]half-kirtles.

First Beadle : Come, come, you she knight-errant, come.

Doll Tearsheet : Come, you rogue, come; bring me to a justice.

Doll Tearsheet : Goodman death, goodman bones!

Doll Tearsheet : Come, you thin thing! come, you rascal!

First Beadle : Very well. Exeunt
