In good sadness Sir, I am sorry, that for my sake you have suffered all this. My suit then is desperate: You'll undertake her no more? Master Broome: I will be thrown into Aetna, as I have been into Thames, ere I will leave her thus; her Husband is this morning gone a Birding: I have received from her another embassy of meeting: 'twixt eight and nine is the hour (Master Broome.) 'Tis past eight already Sir. Is it? I will then address me to my appointment: Come to me at your convenient leisure, and you shall know how I speed: and the conclusion shall be crowned with your enjoying her: adieu: you shall have her (Master Broome) Master Broome, you shall cuckold Ford. Hum: ha'? Is this a vision? Is this a dream? do I sleep? Master Ford awake, awake Master Ford: there's a hole made in your best coat (Master Ford:) this 'tis to be married; this 'tis to have Linen, and Buck-baskets: Well, I will proclaim myself what I am: I will now take the Lecher: he is at my house: he cannot scape me: 'tis impossible he should: he cannot creep into a halfpenny purse, nor into a Pepper-Boxe: But least the Devil that guides him, should aid him, I will search impossible places: though what I am, I cannot avoid; yet to be what I would not, shall not make me tame: If I have horns, to make one mad, let the proverb go with me, I'll be horn-mad. Is he at M. Fords already thinkest thou? Sure he is by this; or will be presently; but truly he is very courageous mad, about his throwing into the water. Mistress Ford desires you to come suddenly. I'll be with her by and by: I'll but bring my youngman here to School: look where his Master comes; 'tis a playing day I see: how now Sir Hugh, no School to day? No: Master Slender is let the Boys leave to play. Blessing of his heart. Sir Hugh, my husband says my son profits nothing in the world at his Book: I pray you ask him some questions in his Accidence. Come hither William; hold up your head; come. Come-on Sirrah; hold up your head; answer your Master, be not afraid. William, how many Numbers is in Nouns? Two. Truly, I thought there had been one Number more, because they say od's-Nownes. Peace, your tattlings. What is (Fair) William? Pulcher. Powlcats? there are fairer things than Powlcats, sure. You are a very simplicity o' man: I pray you peace. What is (Lapis) William? A Stone. And what is a Stone (William?) A Peeble. No; it is Lapis: I pray you remember in your brain. Lapis. That is a good William: what is he (William) that does lend Articles. Articles are borrowed of the pronoun; and be thus declined. Singulariter nominativo hic haec, hoc.
