Pistol, did you pick M. Slenders purse? I, by these gloves did he, or I would I might never come in mine own great chamber again else, of seven groats in mill-sixpences, and two Edward shovelboords, that cost me two shilling and two pence a piece of yead Miller: by these gloves. Is this true, pistol? No, it is false, if it is a pickpurse. Ha', thou mountain Forreyner: Sir John, and Master mine, I combat challenge of this Latin bilbo: word of denial in thy labras here; word of denial; froth, and scum thou liest. By these gloves, than 'twas he. Be advised sir, and pass good humours: I will say marry trap with you, if you run the nut-hooks humour on me, that is the very note of it. By this hat, than he in the red face had it: for though I cannot remember what I did when you made me drunk, yet I am not altogether an ass. What say you Scarlet, and John? Why sit, (for my part) I say the Gentleman had drunk himself out of his five sentences. It is his fire senses: fie, what the ignorance is. And being fap, sir, was (as they say) cashiered: and so conclusions past the careires. I, you spoke in Latin then to: but 'tis no matter; I'll ne'er be drunk whilst I live again, but in honest, civil, godly company for this trick: if I be drunk, I'll be drunk with those that have the fear of God, and not with drunken knaves. So got judge me, that is a virtuous mind. You hear all these matters denied, Gentlemen; you hear it. Nay daughter, carry the wine in, we'll drink within. Oh heaven: This is Mistress Anne Page: How now Mistress Ford? Mistress Ford, by my troth you are very well met: by your leave good Mistress. Wife bid these gentlemen welcome: come, we have a hot Venison pasty to dinner; Come gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness. I had rather than forty shillings I had my book of Songs and Sonnets here: How now Simple, where have you been? I must wait on myself, must I? you have not the book of Riddles about you, have you? Book of Riddles? why did you not lend it to Alice Short-cake upon Alhallowmas last, a fortnight afore Michaelmas. Come Coz, come Coz, we stay for you: a word with you Coz: marry this there is as 'twere a tender, a kind of tender, made a faire-off by Sir Hugh here: do you understand me? I Sir, you shall find me reasonable, if it be so, I shall do that that it reason. Nay, but understand me▪ So I do Sir. Give care to his motions; (Master Slender) I will description the matter to you, if you be capacity of it. Nay, I will do as my cousin Shallow says: I pray you pardon me, he's a justice of Peace in his country, simple though I stand here.

Piſtoll, did you picke M. Slenders purſe? I, by theſe gloues did he, or I would I might neuer come in mine owne great chamber againe elſe, of ſeauen groates in mill-ſixpences, and two Edward Shouelboords, that coſt me two ſhilling and two pence a peece of Yead Miller: by theſe gloues. Is this true, Piſtoll? No, it is falſe, if it is a picke-purſe. Ha, thou mountaine Forreyner: Sir Iohn, and Maſter mine, I combat challenge of this Latine Bilboe: word of deniall in thy labras here; word of deniall; froth, and ſcum thou lieſt. By theſe gloues, then 'twas he. Be auis'd ſir, and paſſe good humours: I will ſay marry trap with you, if you runne the nut-hooks humor on me, that is the very note of it. By this hat, then hee in the red face had it: for though I cannot remember what I did when you made me drunke, yet I am not altogether an aſſe. What ſay you Scarlet, and Iohn? Why ſit, (for my part) I ſay the Gentleman had drunke himſelfe out of his fiue ſentences. It is his fie ſences: fie, what the ignorance is. And being fap, ſir, was (as they ſay) caſheerd: and ſo concluſions paſt the Car-eires. I, you ſpake in Latten then to: but 'tis no matter; Ile nere be drunke whilſt I liue againe, but in honeſt, ciuill, godly company for this tricke: if I be drunke, Ile bee drunke with thoſe that haue the feare of God, and not with drunken knaues. So got udge me, that is a vertuous minde. You heare all theſe matters deni'd, Gentlemen; you heare it. Nay daughter, carry the wine in, wee'll drinke within. Oh heauen: This is Miſtreſſe Anne Page: How now Miſtris Ford? Miſtris Ford, by my troth you are very well met: by your leaue good Miſtris. Wife bid theſe gentlemen welcome: come, we haue a hot Veniſon paſty to dinner; Come gentlemen, I hope we ſhall drinke downe all vnkindneſſe. I had rather then forty ſhillings I had my booke of Songs and Sonnets heere: How now Simple, where haue you beene? I muſt wait on my ſelfe, muſt I? you haue not the booke of Riddles about you, haue you? Booke of Riddles? why did you not lend it to Alice Short-cake vpon Alhallowmas laſt, a fortnight afore Michaelmas. Come Coz, come Coz, wee ſtay for you: a word with you Coz: marry this there is as 'twere a tender, a kinde of tender, made a faire-off by Sir Hugh here: doe you vnderſtand me? I Sir, you ſhall finde me reaſonable, if it be ſo, I ſhall doe that that it reaſon. Nay, but vnderſtand me▪ So I doe Sir. Giue care to his motions; (Maſter Slender) I will deſcription the matter to you, if you be capacity of it. Nay, I will doe as my Cozen Shallow ſaies: I pray you pardon me, he's a Iuſtice of Peace in his Countrie, ſimple though I ſtand here.
