I cannot tell what the dickens his name is my husband had him of. What do you call your knight's name, sirrah? Sir John Falstaff. Sir John Falstaff! He, he; I can never hit on's name. There is such a league between my good man and he! Is your wife at home indeed? Indeed she is. By your leave, sir: I am sick till I see her. Has Page any brains? hath he any eyes? hath he any thinking? Sure, they sleep; he hath no use of them. Why, this boy will carry a letter twenty mile, as easy as a cannon will shoot point-blank twelve score.

What say you to young Master Fenton? he capers, he dances, he has eyes of youth, he writes verses, he speaks holiday, he smells April and May: he will carry't, he will carry't; 'tis in his buttons; he will carry't. Not by my consent, I promise you. The gentleman is of no having: he kept company with the wild prince and Poins; he is of too high
