Merry Wives of Windsor
[I, 1]

Sir Hugh Evans

25

Yes, py'r lady; if he has a quarter of your coat,
there is but three skirts for yourself, in my
simple conjectures: but that is all one. If Sir
John Falstaff have committed disparagements unto
you, I am of the church, and will be glad to do my
benevolence to make atonements and compremises
between you.

It is not meet the council hear a riot; there is no
fear of Got in a riot: the council, look you, shall
desire to hear the fear of Got, and not to hear a
riot; take your vizaments in that.

Shall I tell you a lie? I do despise a liar as I do
despise one that is false, or as I despise one that
is not true. The knight, Sir John, is there; and, I
beseech you, be ruled by your well-willers. I will
peat the door for Master Page.
[Knocks]
What, hoa! Got pless your house here!

Here is Got's plessing, and your friend, and Justice
Shallow; and here young Master Slender, that
peradventures shall tell you another tale, if
matters grow to your likings.

I am glad to see your worships well.
I thank you for my venison, Master Shallow.

Master Page, I am glad to see you: much good do it
your good heart! I wished your venison better; it
was ill killed. How doth good Mistress Page?—and I
thank you always with my heart, la! with my heart.

Slender

How does your fallow greyhound, sir? I heard say he
was outrun on Cotsall.

That he will not. 'Tis your fault, 'tis your fault;
'tis a good dog.

Falstaff

But not kissed your keeper's daughter?

Falstaff

113

Good worts! good cabbage. Slender, I broke your
head: what matter have you against me?

11

Merry Wives of Windsor
[I, 1]

Slender

115

Marry, sir, I have matter in my head against you;
and against your cony-catching rascals, Bardolph,
Nym, and Pistol.

Falstaff

175

Mistress Ford, by my troth, you are very well met:
by your leave, good mistress.

Sir Hugh Evans

204

But that is not the question: the question is
concerning your marriage.

14

Merry Wives of Windsor
[I, 1]

Sir Hugh Evans

210

But can you affection the 'oman? Let us command to
know that of your mouth or of your lips; for divers
philosophers hold that the lips is parcel of the
mouth. Therefore, precisely, can you carry your
good will to the maid?

15

Merry Wives of Windsor
[I, 1]

Sir Hugh Evans

218

Nay, Got's lords and his ladies! you must speak
possitable, if you can carry her your desires
towards her.

16

Merry Wives of Windsor
[I, 1]

Slender

222

I will do a greater thing than that, upon your
request, cousin, in any reason.

17

Merry Wives of Windsor
[I, 1]

Slender

226

I will marry her, sir, at your request: but if there
be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may
decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are
married and have more occasion to know one another;
I hope, upon familiarity will grow more contempt:
but if you say, 'Marry her,' I will marry her; that
I am freely dissolved, and dissolutely.

Here comes fair Mistress Anne.

Will't please your worship to come in, sir?
