CHIEF JUSTICE.

of your ears; and I care not if I do become your physician.

FALSTAFF.

FALSTAFF.
As I was then advised by my learned counsel in the laws
of this land-service, I did not come.

CHIEF JUSTICE.

FALSTAFF.
He that buckles himself in my belt cannot live in less.

CHIEF JUSTICE.
Your means are very slender, and your waste is great.

FALSTAFF.
