eaths: First to be
Crammed like a good bilbo, in the circomference
Of a pack, Hilt to point, heele to head: and then to 70
Be stewed in my owne grease like a Dutch dish:
A man of my kidney; by the Lord it was maruell I
Escaped suffication; and in the heat of all this,
To be throwne into Thames like a horshoo hot:
Maister _Brooke_, thinke of that hissing heate, Maister _Brooke_. 75

_Ford._ Well sir then my shute is void?
Youle vndertake it no more?

_Fal._ M. _Brooke_, {I}le be throwne into Etna
As _I_ haue bene in the Thames,
Ere I thus leaue her: _I_ haue receiued 80
Another appointment of meeting,
Betweene ten and eleuen is the houre.

_{F}ord:_ Why sir, tis almost ten alreadie:

_{F}al:_ Is it? why then will _I_ addresse my selfe
For my appointment: M. _Brooke_, come to me soone 85
At night, and you shall know how _I_ speed,
And the end shall be, you shall enjoy her loue:
You shall cuckold Foord: come to mee soone at
at night. _Exit Falstaffe._

_{F}or._ {I}s this a dreame? {I}s it a vision?
Maister _{F}ord_, maister _{F}ord_, awake maister _{F}ord_, 90
There is a hole made in your best coat M. _Ford_,
And a man shall not onely endure this wrong,
But shall stand vnder the taunt of names,
_Lucifer_ is a good name, _Barbason_ good: good
Diuels names: but cuckold, wittold, godeso 95
The diuel himselfe hath not such a name:
And they may hang hats here, and napkins here
Vpon my homes: well {I}le home, _I_ ferit him,
And vnlesse the diuel himselfe should aide him.
Ile search vnpossible places: {I}le about it, 100
Least I repent too late:

_Exit omnes._

_Enter M. {F}enton, {P}age, and mistresse Quickly._ [SC. XII.]

_{F}en:_ Tell me sweet Nan, how doest thou yet resolue,
Shall foolish _Slender_ haue thee to his wife?
Or one as wise as he, the learned Doctor?
Shall such as they enjoy thy maiden hart?
Thou knowst that _I_ haue alwaies loued thee deare, 5
And thou hast oft times swore the like to me.

_An:_ Good M. _{F}enton_, you may assure your selfe
My hart is setled vpon none but you,
Tis as my father and mother please:
Get their consent, you quickly shall haue mine. 10
