Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

BLUECAP

FALSTAFF (Henry IV Part I Act 2, Scene 4)

I grant ye, upon instinct. Well, he is there too,
and one Mordake, and a thousand blue-caps more:
Worcester is stolen away to-night; thy father's
beard is turned white with the news: you may buy
land now as cheap as stinking mackerel.

Thank you Big Dave. I guessed that bluecap would fit, but it's nice to have it confirmed.Regards, Isobel.
