And pinch him most cruelly for his lecheries.

_Mis. Pa._ Why then we are reuenged sufficiently.

Next beaten well, _I_ am sure youle witnes that.

_{M}i. {F}or._ Ile lay my life this makes him nothing fat.

_{P}a._ Well lets about this stratagem, I long
To see deceit deceiued, and wrong haue wrong.

_For._ Well send to _{F}alstaffe_, and if he come thither, 50
Twill make vs smile and laugh one moneth togither.

_Exit omnes._
