The Merry Wives of Windsor

Act V, Scene 2

Windsor Park.
 
[Enter PAGE, SHALLOW, and SLENDER]
 
PAGE
Come, come: we'll couch in the castle-ditch, till we see the light of our fairies. Remember son Slender, my daughter.
 
SLENDER
Aye forsooth, I have spoke with her, and we have a nay-word, how to know one another. I come to her in white, and cry mum; she cries budget, and by that we know one another.
 
SHALLOW
That's good too: but what needs either your mum, or her budget? the white will decipher her well enough. It hath struck ten o'clock.
 
PAGE
The night is dark, light and spirits will become it well: Heaven prosper our sport. No man means evil but the devil, and we shall know him by his horns. Let's away: follow me.
 
[Exeunt]
