- King Henry the Fourth, I. ii 19
too impatient to bear crosses. Fare you well:
commend me to my cousin Westmoreland.
[Exeunt Chief Justice and Servant.]
Fal. If I do, fillip me with a three-man beetle.
A man can no more separate age and covetous- 260
ness than a' can part young limbs and lechery;
but the gout galls the one, and the pox pinches
the other; and so both the degrees prevent my
curses. Boy ! 264
Page. Sir!
Fal. What money is in my purse?
Page. Seven groats and twopence.
Fal. I can get no remedy against this con- 268
sumption of the purse: borrowing only lingers
and lingers it out, but the disease is incurable.
Go bear this letter to my Lord of Lancaster;
this to the prince ; this to the Earl of Westmore- 272
land; and this to old Mistress Ursula, whom I
have weekly sworn to marry since I perceived
the first white hair on my chin. About it: you
know where to find me. A pox of this gout ! 276
or, a gout of this pox! for the one or the
other plays the rogue with my great toe. 'Tis
no matter if I do halt ; I have the wars for my
colour, and my pension shall seem the more 280
Gjcfctfionable. A good wit will make use of any-
will turn diseases to commodity. "Exeunt.
257 6f. n. 259 Cf. n. 263 prevent: anticipate
267 groat: a coin worth fourpence 279 halt: limp
280 colour: excuse
282 commodity: merchandise to be sold at a profit
