behold it? My merry host hath had the measuring of their weapons; and, I think, hath appointed them contrary places; for, believe me, I hear the parson is no jester. Hark, I will tell you what our sport shall be.
They converse apart.
Host
Hast thou no suit against my knight, my guest-cavaliero?
Ford
None, I protest: but I’ll give you a pottle of burnt sack to give me recourse to him, and tell him my name is Brook, only for a jest.
Host
My hand, bully; thou shalt have egress and regress; said I well? and thy name shall be Brook. It is a merry knight. Will you go, mynheers? Going.
Justice Shallow
Have with you, mine host.
Page
I have heard the Frenchman hath good skill in his rapier.
Justice Shallow
Tut, sir! I could have told you more. In these times you stand on distance, your passes, stoccadoes, and I know not what: ’tis the heart, Master Page; ’tis here, ’tis here. I have seen the time with my long sword I would have made you four tall fellows skip like rats.
Host
Calling. Here, boys, here, here! Shall we wag?
Page
Have with you. I had rather hear them scold than fight.
Exeunt Host, Justice Shallow, and Page.
Ford
Though Page be a secure fool, and stands so firmly on his wife’s frailty, yet I cannot put off my opinion so easily. She was in his company at Page’s house, and what they made there I know not. Well, I will look further into’t; and I have a disguise to sound Falstaff. If I find her honest, I lose not my labour; if she be otherwise, ’tis labour well bestowed.
Exit.
Scene II
A room in the Garter Inn.
Enter Falstaff and Pistol. Falstaff I will not lend thee a penny. PistolWhy then, the world’s mine oyster,
Which I with sword will open.
I will retort the sum in equipage.
I’ll be sworn;
As my mother was, the first hour I was born.
