What, Iohn Rugby, I pray thee go to the Casement, and see if you can see my Master, Master Doctor Caius coming; if he do (I'faith) and find any body in the house; here will be an old abusing of God's patience, and the Kings English. I'll go watch. Go, and we'll have a posset for't soon at night, (in faith) at the latter end of a Sea-cole-fire: An honest, willing, kind fellow, as ever servant shall come in house withal: & I warrant you, no tell-tale, nor no breedebate: his worst fault is, that he is given to prayer; he is something peevish that way: but no body but has his fault: but let that pass. Peter Simple, you say your name is? I, for fault of a better. And Master Slender's your Master? I forsooth. Does he not wear a great round Beard, like a glover's paring-knife? No forsooth, he hath but a little wee-face; with a little yellow Beard, a Cain coloured Beard. A softtly-sprighted man, is he not? I forsooth, but he is as tall a man of his hands, as any is between this and his head; he hath fought with a Warrener. How say you; oh, I should remember him, does he not hold up his head (as it were?) and strut in his gate? Yes indeed does he. Well, heaven send Anne Page, no worse fortune, Tell Master Parson, Euans, I will do what I can for your Master; Anne is a good girl, and I wish— Out alas, here comes my Master. We shall all be shent; Run in here, good young man, go into this closet: he will not stay long? what Iohn Rugby? John; what John I say? Go John, go inquire for my Master, I doubt he be not well, that he comes not home, (and down, down, downe'a, etc. Vat is you sing? I do not like des-toyes, pray you go and fetch me in my Closst, unboyteene verd; a Box, a greene-a-Box; do intent vat I speak? greene-a-Box. I forsooth i'll fetch it you: I am glad he went not in himself: if he had found the young man he would have been horn-mad. Fe, fe, fe, fe, may foy, il fait for chando, le man voi a le Court la grand affairs. Is it this Sir? Ouy mette le au mon pocket, de-peech quickly: Vere is dat knave Rugby? What Iohn Rugby, John? Here Sir. You are Iohn Rugby, and you are Iacke Rugby; Come, take your Rapier, and come after my heel to the Court. 'Tis ready Sir, here in the Porch. By my trot, I tarry too long, od's-me: que ay ie oublie dear is some Simples in my closet, dat I vill not for the world I shall leave behind. Ay, he'll find the young man there, and be mad▪ O Diable, Diable; vat is in my closet? Villain, laroone; Rugby, my Rapier. Good Master be content. Wherefore shall I be content?
