SCENE VII. Changes to the Boar's-head Tavern in East-cheap. Enter two Drawers.

1 Draw.

What the devil hast thou brought there? Apple-Johns? thou know'st, Sir John cannot endure an Apple-John.

2 Draw.

Mass! thou sayest true; the Prince once set a dish of Apple-Johns before him, and told him there were five more Sir Johns; and, putting off his hat, said, I will now take my leave of these six dry, round, old, wither'd knights. It anger'd him to the heart; but he hath forgot That.

1 Draw.

Why then, cover, and set them down; and see if thou can'st find out Sneak's Noise; Mrs. Tear-sheet would fain hear some musick. ⁵ ^noteDispatch! the room where they supt is too hot, they'll come in straight.

2 Draw.

Sirrah, here will be the Prince, and Master Poins anon; and they will put on two of our jerkins and aprons, and Sir John must not know of it. Bardolph hath brought word.

1 Draw.

Then ⁶ ^notehere will be old Utis: it will be an excellent stratagem.

2 Draw.

I'll see, if I can find out Sneak.

[Exeunt.
