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.
