Pray you, come near; if I suspect without cause, why then make sport at me, then let me be your jest, I deserve it. How now? whither bear you this?

Serv.

To the landress, forsooth.

Mrs. Ford.

Why, what have you to do whither they bear it? You were best meddle with buck-washing.

Ford.

Buck? I would, I could, wash myself of the buck. Buck, buck, buck? ay, buck: I warrant you, buck, and of the season too, it shall appear. [Exeunt Servants with the basket.] Gentlemen, I have dream'd to-night, I'll tell you my dream. Here, here, here be my keys; ascend my chambers, search, seek, find out, I'll warrant, we'll unkennel the fox. Let me stop this way first. So, now uncape.^{9 note}

Page.

Good master Ford, be contented; you wrong yourself too much.

Ford.

True, master Page. Up, gentlemen, you shall see sport anon; follow me, gentlemen.

Eva.

This is ferry fantastical humours and jealousies.

Caius.

Page.

Nay, follow him, gentlemen, see the issue of his search.
