Talbot.

The Earle of Bedford had a Prisoner,

Call'd the braue Lord Ponton de Santrayle,

For him was I exchang'd, and ransom'd.

But with a baser man of Armes by farre,

Once in contempt they would haue barter'd me:

Which I disdaining, scorn'd, and craued death,

Rather then I would be so pil'd esteem'd:

In fine, redeem'd I was as I desir'd.

But O, the trecherous Falstaffe wounds my heart,

Whom with my bare fists I would execute,

If I now had him brought into my power.
