Falst.

A goodly portly man yfaith, and a corpulent,

of a chearefull Looke, a pleasing Eye, and a most noble

Carriage, and as I thinke, his age some fiftie, or (byrlady)

inclining to threescore; and now I remember mee, his

Name is Falstaffe: if that man should be lewdly giuen,

hee deceiues mee; for Harry, I see Vertue in his Lookes.

If then the Tree may be knowne by the Fruit, as the Fruit

by the Tree, then peremptorily I speake it, there is Vertue

in that Falstaffe: him keepe with, the rest banish. And

tell mee now, thou naughtie Varlet, tell mee, where hast

thou beene this moneth?
