Of their weapons, and hath
Appointed them contrary places. Harke in your eare:

_Host:_ Hast thou no shute against my knight, 105

_Shal._ I tell you what M. _Page_, I beleeue

Tall fellowes with their stroke and their passado,

A tis the hart, the hart doth all: I 125

Scipped like Rattes.

_Shal._ Ha with you mine host.

_Exit Host and Shallow._

_Pa._ Come M. _Ford_, shall we to dinner?

Come M. _{P}age_, shall we to dinner?

_Page._ With all my hart sir, {I}le follow you.

_Exit omnes._
