- Scene II] Merry Wives of Windsor 6^
^f*Zo7fe like a shadow flies when substance love pursues ^
Pursuing that that flies, and flying what pursues.^
Falstaff. Have you received no promise of satis-
faction ather hands ? 211
Ford. Never.
Falstaff. Have you importuned her to such a pur-
pose ?
^mFord. Never.
"^ Falstaff, Of what quality was your love, then ?
Ford. Like a fair house built on another man's
ground ; so that I have lost my edifice by mistaking
the place where I erected it.
Falstaff. To what purpose have you unfolded this
to me ? 221
Ford. When I have told you that, I have told you
all. Some say, that though she appear honest to me,
yet in other places she enlargeth her mirth so far
that there is shrewd construction made of her. Now,
Sir John, here is the heart of my purpose : you are a
gentleman of excellent breeding, admirable discourse,
of great admittance, authentic in your place and per-
son, generally allowed for your many warlike, court-
like, and learned preparations. 230
Falstaff. O, sir I
Ford. Believe it, for you know it. There is
money ; spend it, spend it ; spend more ; spend all
I have, only give me so much of your time in ex-
change ofit as to lay an amiable siege to the honesty
tthisFord's wife. Use your art of wooing, win her
