Host. Master Fang, have you entered the

action?

Fang. It is entered.

Host. Where's your yeoman? Is 't a lusty

yeoman? will a' stand to 't?

Fang. Sirrah!—where's Snare?

Host. O Lord, ay! good Master Snare.

Snare. Here, here.

Fang. Snare, we must arrest Sir John Fal-

staff.

Host. Yea, good Master Snare; I have entered

him and all.

Snare. It may chance cost some of us our

lives, for he will stab.

Host. Alas the day! take heed of him: he

stabbed me in mine own house, and that most

beastly. In good faith, a' cares not what

mischief he doth if his weapon be out: he

will foin like any devil; he will spare neither

man, woman, nor child.

Fang. If I can close with him I care not for

his thrust.

Host. No, nor I neither: I'll be at your elbow.

 4 yeoman: sheriff's officer

19 foin: thrust (in fencing)
