If there be any body in the house, & in the chambers, and in the coffers, and in the presses: heaven forgive my sins at the day of judgement. Be gar, nor I too: there is nobodies. Fie, fie, M. Ford, are you not ashamed? What spirit, what devil suggests this imagination? I would not ha' your distemper in this kind, for the wealth of Windsor castle. 'Tis my fault (M. Page) I suffer for it. You suffer for a pad conscience: your wife is as honest a o' man's, as I will desires among five thousand, and five hundred too. By gar, I see 'tis an honest woman. Well, I promised you a dinner: come, come, walk in the Park, I pray you pardon me: I will hereafter make known to you why I have done this. Come wife, come Mi. Page, I pray you pardon me. Pray heartily pardon me. Let's go in Gentlemen, but (trust me) we'll mock him: I do invite you to morrow morning to my house to breakfast: after we'll a Birding together, I have a fine Hawk for the bush. Shall it be so: Any thing. If there is one, I shall make two in the Company If there be one, or two, I shall make-a-theturd. Pray you go, M. Page. I pray you now remembrance to morrow on the lousy knave, mine Host. Dat is good by gar, withal my heart. A lousy knave, to have his gibes, and his mockeries. I see I cannot get thy Father's love, Therefore no more turn me to him (sweet Nan) Alas, how then? Why thou must be thyself. He doth object, I am too great of birth, And that my state being galled with my expense, I seek to heal it only by his wealth. Besides these, other bars he lays before me, My Riots past, my wild Societies, And tells me 'tis a thing impossible I should love thee, but as a property. May be he tells you true. No, heaven so speed me in my time to come, Albeit I will confess, thy Father's wealth Was the first motive that I wooed thee (Anne:) Yet wooing thee, I found thee of more value Than stamps in Gold, or sums in sealed bags: And 'tis the very riches of thyself, That now I aim at. Gentle M. Fenton, Yet seek my Father's love, still seek it sir, If opportunity and humblest suit Cannot attain it, why then hark you hither. Break their talk Mistress Quickly, My Kinsman shall speak for himself. I'll make a shaft or a bolt on't, slid, 'tis but venturing. Be not dismayed. No, she shall not dismay me: I care not for that, but that I am afeard. Hark ye, M. Slender would speak a word with you I come to him. This is my Father's choice: O what a world of vild ill-favoured faults Looks handsome in three hundred pounds a year?
