115 Ford. [Aside] I will be patient; I will find out this.

Nym. [To Page] And this is true; I like not the humour of lying. He [hath] wronged me in some humours: I should have borne the humoured letter to her; but I have a sword, and it shall [bite upon my necessity. He] 120 loves your wife; there’s the short and the long. My name is Corporal Nym; I speak, and I [avouch]; ’tis true: my name is Nym, and Falstaff loves your wife. Adieu. I love not the humour of bread and cheese [and there’s the humour of it]. Adieu. Exit.
