Thereafter as they be, a score of good ewes may be worth ten |

pounds. |

Depends on the quality. Twenty good ewes could be worth ten pounds. |

BARDOLPH and another man enter. |

| |
Good morrow, honest gentlemen. |
|
| | BARDOLPH |
| |
I beseech you, which is Justice Shallow? |
|
| BARDOLPH |
|
Good morning, gentlemen. If you don't mind, which of you is Judge Shallow? |
|
| | SHALLOW |

I am Robert Shallow, sir, a poor esquire of this county and |
| |
one of the King's justices of the peace. What is your good |
| |
pleasure with me? |
|
| SHALLOW |
|
I'm Robert Shallow, sir, a poor landowner in this county, and one of the King's justices of the peace. How can I help you? |
|
| | BARDOLPH |
| |
My captain, sir, commends him to you, my captain, Sir John |
| |
Falstaff, a tall gentleman, by heaven, and a most gallant |
| 55 |
leader. |
|
| BARDOLPH |
|
My captain sends his regards. My captain, Sir John Falstaff. He's a valiant gentleman, I swear, and a brave leader. |
|
| | SHALLOW |
| |
He greets me well, sir. I knew him a good backsword man. |
| |
How doth the good knight? May I ask how my lady his wife |
| |
doth? |
|
| SHALLOW |
|
It's great to hear from him. I knew him to be a good fencer. How's the good knight doing? And, if you don't mind my asking, how's his wife? |
|
| | BARDOLPH |
| |
Sir, pardon. A soldier is better accommodated than with a |
| 60 |
wife. |
|
| BARDOLPH |
|
I beg your pardon, sir. A soldier has no need for a wife; he is well enough accommodated. |
|
| | SHALLOW |
| |
It is well said, in faith, sir, and it is well said indeed too. |
| |
“Better accommodated.” It is good, yea, indeed, is it. Good |
| |
phrases are surely, and ever were, very commendable. |
|
| SHALLOW |
|
Well said, I swear, sir. Well said. “Well enough accommodated!” That's good. That's very good. Good turns |
