Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare

Act 5 - Scene 3

A street leading to the Park.

Mistress Page : Master doctor, my daughter is in green: when you [p]see your time,
take her by the band, away with her [p]to the deanery, and dispatch it
quickly. Go before [p]into the Park: we two must go together.

Doctor Caius : I know vat I have to do. Adieu.

Mistress Page : Fare you well, sir. [p][Exit DOCTOR CAIUS] [p]My husband will not
rejoice so much at the abuse of [p]Falstaff as he will chafe at the
doctor's marrying [p]my daughter: but 'tis no matter; better a
little [p]chiding than a great deal of heart-break.

Mistress Ford : Where is Nan now and her troop of fairies, and the [p]Welsh devil
Hugh?

Mistress Page : They are all couched in a pit hard by Herne's oak, [p]with obscured
lights; which, at the very instant of [p]Falstaff's and our meeting,
they will at once [p]display to the night.

Mistress Ford : That cannot choose but amaze him.

Mistress Page : If he be not amazed, he will be mocked; if he be [p]amazed, he will
every way be mocked.

Mistress Ford : We'll betray him finely.

Mistress Page : Against such lewdsters and their lechery [p]Those that betray them do
no treachery.

Mistress Ford : The hour draws on. To the oak, to the oak!
