Mrs Page. Peace!
Evans. What is your genitive case plural, William?
Will. Genitive case!
Evans. Ay.
55 Will. Genitive,—horum, harum, horum.
Quick. Vengeance of [Jenny’s] case! fie on her! never name her, child, if she be a whore.
Evans. For shame, ’oman.
Quick. You do ill to teach the child such words:—he 60 teaches him to hick and to hack, which they’ll do fast enough of themselves, and to call ‘horum’:—fie upon you!
Evans. ’Oman, art thou [lunaties]? hast thou no understandings for thy cases, and the numbers [of] the genders? 65 Thou art as foolish Christian creatures as I would [desires].
Mrs Page. Prithee, hold thy peace.
