MISTRESS PAGE.
They are all couched in a pit hard by Herne’s oak, with obscured lights, which, at the very instant of 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.
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.]

EVANS.
Trib, trib, fairies. Come, and remember your parts. Be pold, I pray you, follow me into the pit, and when I give the watch-’ords, do as I pid you. Come, come; trib, trib.
