Mist.Ford. Nay, good sweet husband, good Gentlemen, let him strike the old woman Mist.Page. Come mother Prat, Come giue me your hand Ford. Ile Prat-her: Out of my doore, you Witch, you Ragge, you Baggage, you Poulcat, you Runnion, out, out: Ile coniure you, Ile fortune-tell you Mist.Page. Are you not asham'd? I thinke you haue kill'd the poore woman Mist.Ford. Nay he will do it, 'tis a goodly credite for you Ford. Hang her witch Eua. By yea, and no, I thinke the o'man is a witch indeede: I like not when a o'man has a great peard; I spie a great peard vnder his muffler Ford. Will you follow Gentlemen, I beseech you follow: see but the issue of my iealousie: If I cry out thus vpon no traile, neuer trust me when I open againe Page. Let's obey his humour a little further: Come Gentlemen Mist.Page. Trust me he beate him most pittifully Mist.Ford. Nay by th' Masse that he did not: he beate him most vnpittifully, me thought Mist.Page. Ile haue the cudgell hallow'd, and hung ore the Altar, it hath done meritorious seruice Mist.Ford. What thinke you? May we with the warrant of woman-hood, and the witnesse of a good conscience, pursue him with any further reuenge? M.Page. The spirit of wantonnesse is sure scar'd out of him, if the diuell haue him not in fee-simple, with fine and recouery, he will neuer (I thinke) in the way of waste, attempt vs againe Mist.Ford. Shall we tell our husbands how wee haue seru'd him? Mist.Page. Yes, by all meanes: if it be but to scrape the figures out of your husbands braines: if they can find in their hearts, the poore vnuertuous fat Knight shall be any further afflicted, wee two will still bee the ministers Mist.Ford. Ile warrant, they'l haue him publiquely sham'd, and me thinkes there would be no period to the iest, should he not be publikely sham'd Mist.Page.

Pardon me (wife) henceforth do what y wilt: I rather will suspect the Sunne with gold, Then thee with wantonnes: Now doth thy honor stand (In him that was of late an Heretike) As firme as faith
