SCENE I.
A Room in the garter Inn.
Enter Falstaff, and Quickly.
Fals.
Pr'ythee, no more pratling; go, I'll hold:
This is the third time; I hope, good luck lyes in odd
numbers: Away, go; they say, there is divinity in odd
numbers, either in nativity, chance, or death: away.
-- 84 --
Quic.
I'll provide you a chain; and I'll do what
I can to get you a pair of horns.
Fals.
Away, I say; time wears: hold up your
head, and mince.
[Exit Quickly.
Enter Ford.
How now, master Brook? Master Brook, the matter will
be known to-night, or never: Be you in the park, about
midnight, at Herne's oak, and you shall see wonders.
Ford.
Went you not to her yesterday, sir, as you
told me you had appointed?
Fals.
I went to her, master Brook, as you see, like
a poor old man; but I came from her, master Brook,
like a poor old woman. That same knave Ford, her
husband, hath the finest mad devil of jealousy in him,
master Brook, that ever govern'd frenzy: I will tell you,—
He beat me grievously, in the shape of a woman: for,
in the shape of man, master Brook, I fear not Goliah
with a weaver's beam; because I know also, life is a
shuttle. I am in haste; go along with me; I'll tell you
all, master Brook: Since I pluck'd geese, play'd truant,
and whip'd top, I knew not what 'twas to be beaten,
'till lately. Follow me: I'll tell you strange things of
this knave Ford; on whom to-night I will be revenged,
and I will deliver his wife into your hand. Follow:
Strange things in hand, master Brook! follow.
[Exeunt.
