SCENE VII.
Street continued.
Falstaff, solus.
Nay, I fear it not—at least before I shall have found
means to spend it: and then, get it who may; it concerns
not me. We shall see, however, whose business will be
done first. Mine will go merrily forward. Ah! shallow
Master Shallow! But who could have thought the snipe
would have went to counsel, to get himself laugh'd at?
Then to see how demurely Sir Slyboots angled for me, as
if I had been a gudgeon! How cunningly the rascally barrador
would have hook'd me on his instrument! But I was
even with the methodical knave.—My friend Shallow will
never bring it to bear an action at law; and if he should,
as I have the cash, I am on the right side of the hedge.
Indeed, were I to go to law for a mint of money, I would
chuse to have it all in my possession. There is nothing
like it. Possession is the very life's blood of a bad cause:
on the strength of which in mine, I will home to supper.
[Exit.
