OUR MODERN FALSTAFF REVIEWING HIS ARMY.—[See Page 714.]
FALSTAFF.—My whole charge consists of slaves as ragged as Lazarus, and such as indeed were never
soldiers, but discarded serving-men and revolted tapsters. No eye hath seen such scarecrows. Nay and
the villains march wide between the legs, as if they had fetters on; for, indeed, I had the most of them out
of prison.—Shakspeare, slightly varied.
