The time drawes on he shuld come to my house,
Well wife, you had best worke closely,
Or I am like to goe beyond your cunning:
I now wil seeke my guesse that comes to dinner,
And in good time see where they all are come. Enter Shallow, Page, host, Slender, Doctor, and sir Hugh.
By my faith a knot well met: your welcome all.

Pa.
I thanke you good M. Ford.

For.
Welcome good M. Page,
I would your daughter were here.

Pa.
I thank you sir, she is very well at home.

Slen.
Father Page I hope I haue your consent
For Misteris Anne?

Pa.
You haue sonne Slender, but my wife here,
Is altogether for maister Doctor.

Doc.
Begar I tanck her hartily.

Host.
But what say you to yong Maister Fenton?
He capers, he daunces, he writes verses, he smelles
All April and May: he wil cary it, he wil carit,
Tis in his betmes he wil carite.

Pa.
My host not with my consent: the gentleman is
Wilde, he knowes too much: If he take her,
Let him take her simply: for my goods goes
With my liking, and my liking goes not that way.

For.
Well, I pray go home with me to dinner:
Besides your cheare Ile shew you wonders: Ile
Shew you a monster. You shall go with me
M. Page, and so shall you sir Hugh, and you Maister Doctor.

S. Hu.
If there be one in the company, I shal make two:

Doc.
And dere be ven to, I sall make de tird:

Sir Hu,
In your teeth for shame,

Shal:

Wooing at Maister Pages: Exit Shallow and Slender.

Host.

And drinke Canary with him. Exit host.

For.
I may chance to make him drinke in pipe wine,
First come gentlemen. Exit omnes.
