Exeunt.

[5.3] [A table and chairs are set out.] Enter Sir John [Falstaff], Shallow, Silence, Davy, Bardolph, [and the] Page. [Davy provides food and wine.]

SHALLOW Nay, you shall see my orchard, where, in an

arbor, we will eat a last year’s pippin2 of mine own

grafting, with a dish of caraways3, and so forth. Come,

cousin Silence. And then to bed.

FALSTAFF ’Fore God, you have here a goodly dwelling

and a rich.

SHALLOW Barren, barren, barren. Beggars all, beggars

all, Sir John. Marry, good air. Spread8, Davy, spread,

Davy. Well said9, Davy.

FALSTAFF This Davy serves you for good uses. He is

your servingman and your husband11.

SHALLOW A good varlet12, a good varlet, a very good

varlet, Sir John. By the Mass, I have drunk too much

sack at supper. A good varlet. Now sit down, now sit

down. Come, cousin.

SILENCE Ah, sirrah, quoth16 ’a, we shall

[sings] “Do nothing but eat, and make good cheer,

And praise God for the merry year,

When flesh19 is cheap and females dear,

And lusty lads roam here and there

So merrily,

And ever among22 so merrily.”

FALSTAFF There’s a merry heart, good Master Silence!

I’ll give you a health24 for that anon.

SHALLOW Give Master Bardolph some wine, Davy.

DAVY [to the guests] Sweet sir, sit.—I’ll be with you

anon.—Most sweet sir, sit. Master Page, good

master Page, sit. Proface! What you want in meat28,

we’ll have in drink. But you must bear. The heart’s all29.
