Excerpt from Shakespeare's Second Part of King Henry IV: With Preface, Glossary, &C
HE (falstafi') is a man at once young and old, enterpris ing and fat, a dupe and a wit, harmless and wicked, weak in principle and resolute by constitution, cowardly in appearance and brave in reality, a knave without malice, a liar without deceit, and a knight, a gentleman, and a soldier, without either dignity, decency, or honour. This is a character which, though it may be decompounded, could not, I believe, have been formed, nor the ingredients of it duly mingled, upon any receipt whatever it required the hand of Shakespeare himself to give to every par ticular part a relish of the whole, and of the whole to every particular part; alike the same incongruous, iden tical Falstafi', whether to the grave Chief-justice he vainly talks of his youth and offers to caper for a thousand, or cries to Mrs Doll, I am old! I am old I although she is seated on his lap, and he is courting her for busses. There is no such thing as totally demolishing Falstaff he has so much of the invulnerable in his frame that no ridicule can destroy him; he is safe even in defeat, and seems to rise, like another Antaus, with recruited vigour at every fall.
