Master Page, I am glad to see you: much good do it

Sir, he's a good dog, and a fair dog: can there be

Good worts! good cabbage. Slender, I broke your

Be avised, sir, and pass good humours: I will say
'marry trap' with you, if you run the nuthook's
humour on me; that is the very note of it.

Sir Hugh Evans

210

But can you affection the 'oman? Let us command to
know that of your mouth or of your lips; for divers
philosophers hold that the lips is parcel of the
mouth. Therefore, precisely, can you carry your
good will to the maid?

Robert Shallow

That you must. Will you, upon good dowry, marry her?

Sir Hugh Evans

It is a fery discretion answer; save the fall is in

Do so, good mine host.

Falstaff

Bardolph, follow him. A tapster is a good trade:

Falstaff

356

I have writ me here a letter to her: and here
another to Page's wife, who even now gave me good
eyes too, examined my parts with most judicious
oeillades; sometimes the beam of her view gilded my
foot, sometimes my portly belly.

We shall all be shent. Run in here, good young man;

Go, John, go inquire for my master; I doubt
