QUICKLY
Marry, sir, I come to your worship from Mistress [30] Ford.
FALSTAFF
Mistress Ford! I have had ford enough; I was thrown into the ford; I have my
belly full of ford.
QUICKLY
Alas the day, good heart, that was not her fault! She does so take on with her
men; they mistook their erection. [35]
FALSTAFF
So did I mine, to build upon a foolish woman’s promise.
QUICKLY
Well, she laments, sir, for it, that it would yearn your heart to see it. Her
husband goes this morning a-birding; she desires you once more to come to
her, between [40] eight and nine. I must carry her word quickly; she’ll make
you amends, I warrant you.
FALSTAFF
Well, I will visit her; tell her so. And bid her think what a man is; let her
consider his frailty, and then judge of my merit. [45]
QUICKLY
I will tell her.
FALSTAFF
Do so. Between nine and ten, sayst thou?
QUICKLY
Eight and nine, sir.
FALSTAFF
Well, be gone; I will not miss her.
QUICKLY
