Go home Iohn Rugby, I come anon. Farewell my hearts, I will to my honest Knight Falstaff, and drink Canary with him. I think I shall drink in Pipe-wine first with him, i'll make him dance. Will you go, Gentles? Have with you, to see this Monster. What John, what Robert. Quickly quickly; Is the Buck-basket— I warrant. What Robin I say. Come, come, come. Hear, set it down. Give your men the charge, we must be brief, be ready here hard by in the Brew house, and when I suddenly call you, come forth, and (without any pause, or staggering) take this basket on your shoulders; that done trudge with it in all haste, and carry it among the Whitsters in Dotchet Mead, and there empty it in the muddy ditch, close by the Thames side. You will do it? I ha' told them over and over, they lack no direction. Begun, and come when you are called. Here comes little Robin. How now my Eyas Musket, what news with you? My M. Sir John is come in at the back door Mist. Ford, and requests your company. You little Iack-a-lent, have you been true to us. I, i'll be sworn; my Master knows not of your being here: and hath threatened to put me into everlasting liberty, if I tell you of it; for he swears he'll turn me away. thou'rt a good boy; this secrecy of thine shall be a Tailor to thee, and shall make thee a new doublet and hose. I'll go hide me. Do so, go tell thy Master, I am alone; mistress Page, remember you your Qu. I warrant thee, if I do not act it, hisse me. Go too then; we'll use this unwholesome humidity, this grosse-warry pompion, we'll teach him to know Turtles from jays. Have I caught thee, my heavenly jewel? Why now let me die, for I have lived long enough; This is the period of ambition; O this blessed hour. O sweet Sir John. Mistress Ford, I cannot cog, I cannot prate (Master Ford) now shall I sin in my wish; I would thy Husband were dead, i'll speak it before the best Lord, I would make thee my Lady. I your Lady Sir John? Alas, I should be a pitiful Lady. Let the Court of France show me such another; I see how thine eye would emulate the Diamond; Thou hast the right arched-beauty of the brow, that becomes the Ship-tyre, the Tyre-valiant, or any Tire of Venetian admittance. A plain kerchief, Sir John. My brows become nothing else, nor that well neither. Thou art a tyrant to say so: thou wouldst make an absolute Courtier, and the firm fixture of thy foot, would give an excellent motion to thy gate, in a semicircled Farthingale. I see what thou wert if Fortune thy foe, were not Nature thy friend: Come, thou canst not hide it.
