Summary, Analysis, and Original Text by Scene

Act III: Scene 6

SCENE VI. The English camp in Picardy.

[Enter Gower and Fluellen, meeting.]

GOWER.
How now, Captain Fluellen! come you from the bridge?

FLUELLEN.
I assure you, there is very excellent services committed at the
bridge.

GOWER.
Is the Duke of Exeter safe?

FLUELLEN.
The Duke of Exeter is as magnanimous as Agamemnon; and a
man that I love and honour with my soul, and my heart, and my
duty, and my live, and my living, and my uttermost power. He
is not — God be praised and blessed! — any hurt in the world; but
keeps the bridge most valiantly, with excellent discipline. There
is an aunchient lieutenant there at the pridge, I think in my
very conscience he is as valiant a man as Mark Antony; and he is
a man of no estimation in the world, but I did see him do as
gallant service.

GOWER.
What do you call him?

FLUELLEN.
He is call'd Aunchient Pistol.

GOWER.
I know him not.

[Enter Pistol.]
