But that is not the question: the question is concerning your marriage. I, there's the point Sir. Marry is it: the very point of it, to Mi. An Page. Why if it be so; I will marry her upon any reasonable demands. But can you affection the ' o-man, let us command to know that of your mouth, or of your lips: for diverse Philosophers hold, that the lips is parcel of the mouth: therefore precisely, can you carry your good will to the maid? Cousin Abraham Slender, can you love her? I hope sir, I will do as it shall become one that would do reason. Nay, gots Lords, and his Ladies, you must speak possitable, if you can carry-her your desires towards her. That you must: Will you, (upon good dowry) marry her? I will do a greater thing than that, upon your request (Cousin) in any reason. Nay conceive me, conceive me, (sweet Coz): what I do is to pleasure you (Coz:) can you love the maid? I will marry her (Sir) at your request; but if there be no great love in the beginning, yet Heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are married, and have more occasion to know one another: I hope upon familiarity will grow more content: but if you say mary-her, I will mary-her, that I am freely dissolved, and dissolutely. It is a ferry discetion-answere; save the fall is in the'ord, dissolutely: the ort is (according to our meaning) resolutely: his meaning is good. I: I think my Cousin meant well. I, or else I would I might be hanged (la.) Here comes fair Mistress Anne; would I were young for your sake, Mistress Anne. The dinner is on the Table, my Father desires your worship's company. I will wait on him, (fair Mistress Anne.) Od's plessed-wil: I will not be absence at the grace. Wil't please your worship to come in, Sir? No, I thank you forsooth, heartily; I am very well. The dinner attends you, Sir. I am not hungry, I thank you, forsooth: go, Sirrah, for all you are my man, go wait upon my Cousin Shallow: a justice of peace sometime may be beholding to his friend, for a Man; I keep but three Men, and a Boy yet, till my Mother be dead: but what though, yet I live like a poor Gentleman borne. I may not go in without your worship: they will not sit till you come. I' faith, i'll eat nothing: I thank you as much as though I did. I pray you Sir walk in. I had rather walk here (I thank you) I bruised my shin th' other day, with playing at Sword and Dagger with a Master of Fence (three veneys for a dish of stewed Prunes) and by my troth, I cannot abide the smell of hot meat since. Why do your dog's bark so? be there Bears i'th' Town? I think there are, Sir, I heard them talked of.

But that is not the queſtion: the queſtion is concerning your marriage. I, there's the point Sir. Marry is it: the very point of it, to Mi. An Page. Why if it be ſo; I will marry her vpon any reaſonable demands. But can you affection the 'o-man, let vs command to know that of your mouth, or of your lips: for diuers Philoſophers hold, that the lips is parcell of the mouth: therfore preciſely, cā you carry your good wil to ye maid? Coſen Abraham Slender, can you loue her? I hope ſir, I will do as it ſhall become one that would doe reaſon. Nay, got's Lords, and his Ladies, you muſt ſpeake poſſitable, if you can carry-her your deſires towards her. That you muſt: Will you, (vpon good dowry) marry her? I will doe a greater thing then that, vpon your requeſt (Coſen) in any reaſon. Nay conceiue me, conceiue mee, (ſweet Coz): what I doe is to pleaſure you (Coz:) can you loue the maid? I will marry her (Sir) at your requeſt; but if there bee no great loue in the beginning, yet Heauen may decreaſe it vpon better acquaintance, when wee are married, and haue more occaſion to know one another: I hope vpon familiarity will grow more content: but if you ſay mary-her, I will mary-her, that I am freely diſſolued, and diſſolutely. It is a fery diſcetion-anſwere; ſaue the fall is in the'ord, diſſolutely: the ort is (according to our meaning) reſolutely: his meaning is good. I: I thinke my Coſen meant well. I, or elſe I would I might be hang'd (la.) Here comes faire Miſtris Anne; would I were yong for your ſake, Miſtris Anne. The dinner is on the Table, my Father deſires your worſhips company.
