King George II, Part I. Falstaff was a prophet.


Yea, and so used it that were it not here apparent
that thou art heir apparent--But, I prithee, sweet
wag, shall there be gallows standing in England when
thou art king? and resolution thus fobbed as it is
with the rusty curb of old father antic the law? Do
not thou, when thou art king, hang a thief.



Thou hast the most unsavoury similes and art indeed
the most comparative, rascalliest, sweet young
prince. But, Hal, I prithee, trouble me no more
with vanity. I would to God thou and I knew where a
commodity of good names were to be bought. An old
lord of the council rated me the other day in the
street about you, sir, but I marked him not; and yet
he talked very wisely, but I regarded him not; and
yet he talked wisely, and in the street too.




Thou didst well; for wisdom cries out in the
streets, and no man regards it.





There's neither honesty, manhood, nor good
fellowship in thee, nor thou camest not of the blood
royal, if thou darest not stand for ten shillings.



By the Lord, I'll be a traitor then, when thou art king.

1. Maybe they are all teaching a lesson
on how crime does not pay. There will be consequences to their wrong actions.

2. I like it, especially the photo that goes with
"for wisdom cries out in the
streets, and no man regards it."
