Pompey As I say, this Mistress Elbow, being, as I say, with child, and being great-bellied, and longing, as I said, for prunes; and having but two in the dish, as I said, Master Froth here, this very man, having eaten the rest, as I said, and, as I say, paying for them very honestly; for, as you know, Master Froth, I could not give you three-pence again.
Froth
Pompey Very well: you being then, if you be remembered, cracking the stones of the foresaid prunes,--
Froth
Froth. Ay, so I did indeed.
Pompey Why, very well; I telling you then, if you be remembered, that such a one and such a one were past cure of the thing you wot of, unless they kept very good diet, as I told you,--
Froth
Pompey Sir, but you shall come to it, by your honour's leave. And, I beseech you, look into Master Froth here, sir; a man of four-score pound a year; whose father died at Hallowmas: was't not at Hallowmas, Master Froth?
Froth
Pompey Why, very well; I hope here be truths. He, sir, sitting, as I say, in a lower chair, sir; 'twas in the Bunch of Grapes, where indeed you have a delight to sit, have you not?
Froth
Froth. I have so; because it is an open room and good for winter.
Escalus Where were you born, friend?
Froth
Froth. Here in Vienna, sir.
Escalus Are you of fourscore pounds a year?
Froth
Froth. Yes, an't please you, sir.
Escalus Nine! Come hither to me, Master Froth. Master Froth, I would not have you acquainted with tapsters: they will draw you, Master Froth, and you will hang them. Get you gone, and let me hear no more of you.
Froth
Froth. thank your worship. For mine own part, I never come into any room in a tap-house, but I am drawn in.
