No Fear Shakespeare: Henry IV Part 2: Act 2, scene ii

Exeunt BARDOLPH and PAGE

BARDOLPH and the PAGE exit.

This Doll Tearsheet should be some road.

This Doll Tearsheet must be some road .

	POINS
	I warrant you, as common as the way between Saint Alban's
	and London.

POINS

Truly, she's as well-traveled as the highway to London.

	PRINCE HENRY
145	How might we see Falstaff bestow himself tonight in his true
	colors, and not ourselves be seen?

PRINCE HENRY

How can we see Falstaff behave like his true self tonight, and yet not be detected ourselves?

	POINS
	Put on two leathern jerkins and aprons, and wait upon him
	at his table as drawers.

POINS

We'll put on leather jackets and aprons and wait upon him as bartenders.

	PRINCE HENRY
	From a god to a bull: a heavy decension. It was Jove's case.
150	From a prince to a 'prentice: a low transformation that shall
	be mine, for in everything the purpose must weigh with the
	folly. Follow me, Ned.

PRINCE HENRY

Should a God disguise himself as a bull? That's quite a degradation. Well, Jove did it. And should a prince disguise himself as an apprentice bartender and transform into something so lowly? Yes, I will: in every undertaking, the ends must match the means. Follow me, Ned.

Exeunt

They exit.
