Henry the Fourth, part Two

The previous play, the First Part of Henry the Fourth, is enlarged and continued and we see even more of Falstaff. Prince Hal shows his true Machiavellian colors in rejecting Falstaff. It's enough to make you cry. “How ill white hairs become a fool and jester. . . . Leave gormandizing; know the grave doth gape for thee thrice wider than for other men."
