SYNOPSIS
Excerpted from Scene 5 of Plump Jack (“Boar’s Head Inn”)
We are at the Boar’s Head Inn in Eastcheap. It is crowded with revelers, including Hal and the Falstaffians. Hostess waits on them.
No, my good lord, banish Pistol, banish Bardolph, banish Boy, banish Nell, but for sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff, valiant Jack Falstaff; and therefore more valiant being, as he is, old Jack Falstaff, banish not him thy Harry’s company, banish not him thy Harry’s company, banish Plump Jack, and banish all the world.
