'T was merry when
You wager'd on your angling; when your diver
Did hang a salt-fish on his hook, which he
With fervency drew up.

Come here, Pistol; stand behind me. [To SHALLOW] O, if

My knight, I will inflame thy noble liver
And make thee rage.

Rouse up revenge from ebon den with fell Alecto's snake,
For Doll is in. Pistol speaks nought but truth.
