- 128 The Second Part of
Bardolph replies : 'Yes, it does, — if, for example, this
present business of war (indeed this very action now
contemplated, this cause that is now on foot), lives
merely on such desperate hopes as buds which ap
pear too early in the spring; for hope gives less
warrant that these buds will become fruit than de
spair gives that the frosts will destroy them.'
I. iii. 53-55. 'Know how well able our estate is to
undergo such a work, and how well able it is to bal
ance the power of our opponent/
II. i. 36, 37. When Dame Quickly says, 'A hun
dred mark is a long one/ i.e., a long mark, score, or
reckoning, she puns on a hundred marks as a debt
and a hundred yard mark at archery.
II. i. 67, 68. rampallian. Elizabethan slang, ras
cal, rapscallion; used also by Beaumont and Fletcher.
Fustilarian, a word coined by Falstaff, suggested
by the word fustilugs, a fat, frowsy woman. Catas
trophe, in the sense of conclusion, end; used jocularly
here for the posteriors.
II. i. 145. Falstaff has the legal right to demand
protection against the just claims of Mistress
Quickly, as he is about to set forth for the north on
the King's business. The Chief Justice admits his
'power to do wrong' in this matter, but urges him to
answer the poor woman's suit in a manner suitable
to his reputation as a gentleman and soldier.
II. i. 159. Falstaff tries to comfort Mistress
Quickly for the loss of her plate by assuring her that
glasses are much more fashionable and pleasanter to
drink from than silver goblets.
II. i. 210. 'This is the proper behaviour in fenc
ing.' Falstaff refers to his inattention to the Justice's
remarks as a retaliation for the Justice's inattention
to his questions in 11. 184 ff.
II. ii. 25-31. Shirts were made of holland linen
