I love the sport well, but I shall as soon quarrel at it, as any man in England: you are afraid if you see the Bear lose, are you not? I indeed Sir. That's meat and drink to me now: I have seen Sackerson lose, twenty times, and have taken him by the Chain: but (I warrant you) the women have so cried and shrekt at it, that it past: But women indeed, cannot abide'em, they are very ill-favoured rough things. Come, gentle M. Slender, come; we stay for you. I'll eat nothing, I thank you Sir. By cock and pie, you shall not choose, Sir: come, come. Nay, pray you lead the way. Come on, Sir. Mistress Anne: yourself shall go first. Not I Sir, pray you keep on. Truly I will not go first: truely-la: I will not do you that wrong. I pray you Sir. I'll rather be unmannerly, then troublesome: you do yourself wrong indeede-la. Go your ways, and ask of Doctor Caius house, which is the way; and there dwells one Mistress Quickly; which is in the manner of his Nurse; or his dry-Nurse; or his Cook; or his Laundry; his Washer, and his Ringer. Well Sir. Nay, it is better yet: give her this letter; for it is a'oman that altogeathers acquaintance with Mistress Anne Page; and the Letter is to desire, and require her to solicit your Master's desires, to Mistress Anne Page: I pray you be gone: I will make an end of my dinner; there's Pippins and Cheese to come. Mine Host of the Garter? What says my Bully Rook? speak schollerly, and wisely. Truly mine Host; I must turn away some of my followers. Discard, (bully Hercules) cashier; let them wag; trot, trot. I sit at ten pounds a week. Thou'rt an Emperor (Cesar, Keiser and Caesar) I will entertain Bardolfe: he shall draw; he shall tap; said I well (bully Hector?) Do so (good mine Host. I have spoke: let him follow: let me see thee froth, and live: I am at a word: follow. Bardolfe, follow him: a Tapster is a good trade: an old Cloak, makes a new jerkin: a withered serving-man, a fresh Tapster: go, adieu. It is a life that I have desired: I will thrive. O base hungarian wight: wilt thou the spigot wield. He was gotten in drink: is not the humour conceited? I am glad I am so acquit of this Tinderbox: his Thefts were too open: his filching was like an unskilful Singer, he kept not time. The good humour is to steal at a minute's rest. Convey: the wise it call: Steal? foh: a fico for the phrase. Well sirs, I am almost out at heels. Why then let Kibes ensue. There is no remedy: I must conicatch, I must shift. Young Ravens must have food. Which of you know Ford of this Town? I ken the wight: he is of substance good. My honest Lads, I will tell you what I am about.
