ARKCODEX
Act V, Scene 3
1The street in Windsor.
2Enter Mistress Page, Mistress Ford, and Doctor Caius.
3Mistress PageMaster Doctor, my daughter is in green; when you see your time, take her by the hand, away with her to the deanery, and dispatch it quickly. Go before into the Park; we two must go together.
4Doctor CaiusI know vat I have to do; adieu.
5Mistress PageFare you well, sir.
6Exit Doctor Caius.
7My husband will not rejoice so much at the abuse of Falstaff as he will chafe at the doctor’s marrying my daughter; but ’tis no matter; better a little chiding than a great deal of heart break.
8Mistress FordWhere is Nan now, and her troop of fairies, and the Welsh devil, Hugh?
9Mistress PageThey are all couched in a pit hard by Herne’s oak, with obscured lights; which, at the very instant of Falstaff’s and our meeting, they will at once display to the night.
10Mistress FordThat cannot choose but amaze him.
11Mistress PageIf he be not amazed, he will be mocked; if he be amazed, he will every way be mocked.
12Mistress FordWe’ll betray him finely.
13Mistress PageAgainst such lewdsters and their lechery,
Those that betray them do no treachery.
14Mistress FordThe hour draws on: to the oak, to the oak!
15Exeunt.
