Throw me in the channel? I’ll throw thee in the channel. Wilt
thou, wilt thou, thou bastardly rogue?—Murder, murder!—
Ah, thou honeysuckle villain, wilt thou kill God’s officers
and the King’s? Ah, thou honeyseed rogue, thou art a
honeyseed, a man-queller, and a woman-queller.

MISTRESS QUICKLY
Throw me in the gutter? I’ll throw you in the gutter. You will? You will? You bastardly cheat! Murder! Murder! Oh, you honeysuckle criminal! You’re going to kill God’s sheriffs, and the King’s? Oh, you honey-seed creep! You’re a honey-seed, a man-killer, and a woman-killer.

CHIEF JUSTICE
How now, Sir John? What, are you brawling here?
Doth this become your place, your time, and business?
You should have been well on your way to York.—
(to FANG) Stand from him, fellow: wherefore hang’st thou
upon him?
|
CHIEF JUSTICE
Well if it isn’t Sir John! Are you making trouble here? Is this appropriate for a man of your position, your age, and your responsibilities? You should be well on your way to York by now. (to FANG) Get off him, man. Why are you holding him?
