                               No, good Master Fenton.
               Come, Master Shallow; come, son Slender; in.
               Knowing my mind, you wrong me, Master Fenton.

                                                                 [Exeunt Page, Shallow, and Slender.]


              QUICKLY

               Speak to Mistress Page. [75]



              FENTON
               Good Mistress Page, for that I love your daughter
               In such a righteous fashion as I do,
               Perforce, against all checks, rebukes and manners,
               I must advance the colours of my love,

               And not retire. Let me have your good will. [80]



              ANNE
               Good mother, do not marry me to yond fool.



              MISTRESS PAGE
               I mean it not; I seek you a better husband.



              QUICKLY
          [Aside]
               That’s my master, Master Doctor.



              ANNE

               Alas, I had rather be set quick i’ th’ earth,
               And bowl’d to death with turnips! [85]



              MISTRESS PAGE
               Come, trouble not yourself. Good Master Fenton,
               I will not be your friend nor enemy.
               My daughter will I question how she loves you,

               And as I find her, so am I affected.
               Till then, farewell, sir; she must needs go in; [90]
               Her father will be angry.
