GOWER
I must wait upon my good lord here. I thank you, good Sir
John.

I have to attend to this noble man right here. But thank you, Sir John.

CHIEF JUSTICE
Sir John, you loiter here too long, being you are to take
soldiers up in counties as you go.

Sir John, you’ve been loitering here too long. You have to recruit soldiers in the counties you pass through on your way north.

CHIEF JUSTICE
What foolish master taught you these manners, Sir John?
|
CHIEF JUSTICE
What foolish teacher taught you these manners, Sir John?

|
|
FALSTAFF
Master Gower, if they become me not, he was a fool that
taught them me.—This is the right fencing grace, my lord:
tap for tap, and so part fair.
|
FALSTAFF
Master Gower, if my manners are inappropriate, I must have indeed been taught by a fool. That’s how the game is played—tit for tat, and game over.
|
|
CHIEF JUSTICE
Now the Lord lighten thee. Thou art a great fool.
|
CHIEF JUSTICE
God help you! You are a great fool.
|
|
Exeunt |
They exit. |
