think in their hearts they may effect, they will
break their hearts but they will effect. God be
praised for my jealousy! Eleven o'clock the hour.
I will prevent this, detect my wife, be revenged on
Falstaff, and laugh at Page. I will about it;
better three hours too soon than a minute too late.
Fie, fie, fie! cuckold! cuckold! cuckold!

Jack Rugby, he is dead already, if he be come.
He is wise, sir; he knew your worship would kill

Take your rapier, Jack; I vill tell you how I vill kill him.
Alas, sir, I cannot fence.
