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
