The young Poins, with a sulky sense of his importance, uttered: 'I have money for thee a main of money! Culpepper looked at him with sleepy blue eyes. 'Thrice y' ha' told me that, he said. 'And money is a goodly thing in its place but not to a man with a bellyful of water. Y' shall feel my fist when I be rested.
He pulled off his cap and shook it. 'It snows, he said buoyantly, and then knelt before his grandfather. The old man touched his grandson's cropped fair head. 'Benedicite, grandson Hal Poins, he muttered, and relapsed into his gaze at the fire. The young man bent his knee to his uncle and bowed low to the magister.
So that each of them had her channel by which true gossip might reach her. But Katharine had none. Till the opening of March the magister came to whisper with Margot Poins then he was sent again to Paris to set his pen at the service of Sir Thomas Wyatt, who had so many letters to write. Thus she heard much women's tattle, but knew nothing of what passed.
This is the Prince John who betrays the insurgents afterwards by the falsest of quibbles, and gains his revenge through their good faith. In "King Henry IV," act i. scene 2, Poins does not say Falstaff is a coward like the other two; but only "If he fight longer than he sees reason, I'll forswear arms."
Quickly and Falstaff, and Poins and Bardolph were more likely to have been fallen in with by Shakespeare himself at the Mermaid, than to have been comrades of the true Prince Henry. It was enough for Shakespeare to draw real men, and the situation, whatever it might be, would sit easy on them. In this sense only it is that Poetry is truer than History, that it can make a picture more complete.
'This day at dawn, Poins answered, and cursed again. 'Drunk or sober? 'Drunk as a channel codfish. The old woman came, a sheaf of jack-knives in her arms, muttering along the table. 'Get you to bed, she croaked. 'I will not ha' warmed new sheets for thee, and thee not use them. Get thee to bed. Throckmorton pushed her back, and caught the boy by the jacket near the throat.
It was in his grandfather's mean house that Poins had remained for a brace of months, grumbled at by his Protestant uncle and sneered at by his malicious Papist grandfather. And it was here that Throckmorton had found him, dressed in grey, humbled from his pride and raging for things to do. The boy would be of little service yet he was all that Throckmorton had.
Hogben would have been rating the angel's head in Paradise. But there had been great call for men to man the walls there in Calais, so Wallop's ancient had written his name down on the list, beneath the gallows tree, and had taken him away from the Sheriff of Lincoln's man. 'So here a be, he drawled, 'cutting little holes in my pikehead. ''Tis a folly, the young Poins said.
Dogged, and thrusting his word and his papers in at every turn, the young Poins had pursued them aboard a ship bound for the Thames. This story came out in jerks and with divagations, but it was evident to Throckmorton that the young man had stuck to his task with a dogged obtuseness enough to have given offence to a dozen Culpeppers.
With a sigh the young Poins unbuckled his belt to get his papers. 'Money I have for you, he said. 'A main of money. He was engaged now to pass words with this man and he sighed again. But Thomas Culpepper disregarded his words and his sigh. He was more in the mood to talk Lincolnshire than Kent, for his fever had given him a touch of homesickness and the young Poins to him was a very foreigner.
