WILLIAMS

How shall I know thee again? [200]

KING HENRY
Give me any gage of thine, and I will wear it in my bonnet: then, if ever thou
dar’st acknowledge it, I will make it my quarrel.

WILLIAMS
Here’s my glove: give me another of thine.

KING HENRY
There. [205]

WILLIAMS

This will I also wear in my cap: if ever thou come to me and say after
tomorrow, “This is my glove”, by this hand I will take thee a box on the ear.

KING HENRY
If ever I live to see it, I will challenge it.

WILLIAMS
Thou darest as well be hanged. [210]

KING HENRY
Well, I will do it, though I take thee in the King’s company.

WILLIAMS
Keep thy word: fare thee well.

BATES
Be friends, you English fools, be friends: we have French quarrels enow, if you

could tefi how to reckon. [215]

KING HENRY

Indeed, the French may lay twenty French crowns to one, they will beat us;
for they bear them on their shoulders: but it is no English treason to cut
French crowns, and to-morrow the King himself will bea clipper. [220]
