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▪ t 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 servingman, 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 minuntes' 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.
