FALSTAFF

But not kissed your keeper’s daughter?

SHALLOW
Tut, a pin; this shall be answered. [105]

FALSTAFF
I will answer it straight: I have done all this. That is now answered.

SHALLOW
The Council shall know this.

FALSTAFF
’Twere better for you if it were known in counsel; you’ll be laughed at. [110]

EVANS
Pauca verba; Sir John, good worts.

FALSTAFF

Good worts? Good cabbage! Slender, I broke your head: what matter have
you against me?

SLENDER
Marry, sir, I have matter in my head against you, and against your cony-
catching rascals, Bardolph, Nym, [115] and Pistol.

BARDOLPH
You Banbury cheese!

SLENDER
Ay, it is no matter. [120]

PISTOL
How now, Mephostophilus?

SLENDER

Ay, it is no matter.
