Act V, Scene ii:
Windsor Park.

[Enter PAGE, SHALLOW, and SLENDER.]

PAGE:

Come, come; we'll couch i' the castle-ditch till we

see the light of our fairies. Remember, son Slender, my daughter.

SLENDER:

Ay, 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.]
