   The Merry Wives of Windsor
ACT V SCENE III A street leading to the Park. 
 Enter MISTRESS PAGE, MISTRESS FORD, andDOCTOR CAIUS 
MISTRESS PAGE Master doctor, my daughter is in green: when you 
 see your time, take her by the band, away with her 
 to the deanery, and dispatch it quickly. Go before 
 into the Park: we two must go together. 5
DOCTOR CAIUS I know vat I have to do. Adieu. 
MISTRESS PAGE Fare you well, sir. 
 Exit DOCTOR CAIUS 
 My husband will not rejoice so much at the abuse of 
 Falstaff as he will chafe at the doctor's marrying 
 my daughter: but 'tis no matter; better a little 10
 chiding than a great deal of heart-break. 
MISTRESS FORD Where is Nan now and her troop of fairies, and the 
 Welsh devil Hugh? 
MISTRESS PAGE They are all couched in a pit hard by Herne's oak, 
 with obscured lights; which, at the very instant of 15
 Falstaff's and our meeting, they will at once 
 display to the night. 
MISTRESS FORD That cannot choose but amaze him. 
MISTRESS PAGE If he be not amazed, he will be mocked; if he be 
 amazed, he will every way be mocked. 20
MISTRESS FORD We'll betray him finely. 
MISTRESS PAGE Against such lewdsters and their lechery 
 Those that betray them do no treachery. 
MISTRESS FORD The hour draws on. To the oak, to the oak! 
 Exeunt
