No, my good lord: banish Peto, banish Bardolph, banish Poins; but for sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff, valiant Jack Falstaff, and therefore more valiant being, as his is, old Jack Falstaff, banish not him thy Harry's company, banish not him thy Harry's company.

Diseased nature oftentimes breaks forth
  In strange eruptions; oft the teeming earth
    Is with a kind of colic pinched and vexed
      By the imprisoning of unruly wind
        Within the womb, which, for enlargement striving,
          Shakes the old beldame earth and topples down
            Steeples and mossgrown towers.

         (Hotspur at III, i) [Business]

Now I perceive the devil understands Welsh.
  And 'tis no marvel he is so humorous.
    By'r Lady, he is a good musician.
      - King Henry the Fourth, Part I
         (Hotspur at III, i) [Humor]

O, he's as tedious
  As a tir'd horse, a railing wife;
    Worse than a smoky house; I had rather live
      With cheese and garlic in a windmill far
        Than feed on cates, and have him talk to me
          In any summer house in Christendom.
      - King Henry the Fourth, Part I
         (Hotspur at III, i) [Bores]

O, while you live, tell truth, and shame the devil.
