London. A Street.
Enter BEADLES dragging in HOSTESS QUICKLY and DOLL TEARSHEET.
Quickly No, thou arrant knave! I would to God that I might die,
that I might have thee hanged. Thou hast drawn my shoulder
out of joint.
1st Beadle The constables have delivered her over to me, and she
shall have whipping-cheer, I warrant her. There hath been
a man or two lately killed about her.
Doll Tearsheet Nut-hook, nut-hook, you lie! Come on, I'll tell thee what,
thou damned tripe-visaged rascal, and the child I go with
do miscarry, thou wert better thou hadst struck thy
mother, thou paper-faced villain.
Quickly 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!
1st Beadle 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 amongst you.
Doll Tearsheet I'll tell you what, you thin man in a censer, I will have
you as soundly swinged for this, you bluebottle rogue -
you filthy famished correctioner, if you be not swinged,
I'll forswear half-kirtles.
1st Beadle Come, come, you she knight-errant, come!
Quickly O God, that right should thus overcome might! Well, of
sufferance comes ease.
Doll Tearsheet Come, you rogue, come; bring me to a justice.
Quickly Ay, come, you starved bloodhound.
Doll Tearsheet Goodman death, goodman bones!
Quickly Thou atomy, thou!
Doll Tearsheet Come, you thin thing; come, you rascal!
1st Beadle Very well.
[Exeunt.
