original description

Falstaff (Sir Anthony Quayle) makes the famous quote, then later chooses cannon fodder for the battle and muses about old men and their lies. William Shakespeare's "The second Part of King Henry the Fourth" Act 3, scene 2, excerpts (Arden edition) Robert Eddison ... Justice Robert Shallow Leslie French ... Justice Silence Julian Battersby ... Ralph Moldy Roy Herrick ... Simon Shadow Alan Collins ... Thomas Wart John Tordoff ... Francis Feeble Roger Elliott ... Peter Bullcalf Even that moralist, Samuel Johnson, could forgive Sir John Falstaff's faults--Falstaff he wrote is saved "by the most pleasing of all qualities, perpetual gaiety, by an unfailing power of exciting laughter" tho this quality admittedly is, generally, somewhat overvalued by melancholy folks like Dr. Johnson.
