- Scene IV] Merry Wives of Windsor 115
Mrs. Page. That likewise have we thought upon, and
thus:
Nan Page my daughter, and my little son,
And three or four more of their growth, we '11 dress
Like urchins, ouphes, and fairies, green and white, 5°
Vl^ith rounds of waxen tapers on their heads,
And rattles in their hands. Upon a sudden,
As Falstaff, she, and I, are newly met,
Let them from forth a saw-pit rush at once
With some diffused song ; upon their sight,
We two in great amazedness will fly.
Then let them all encircle him about,
And, fairy-like, to-pinch the unclean knight.
And ask him why, that hour of fairy revel,
In their so sacred paths he dares to tread 60
In shape profane.
Mrs. Ford. And till he tell the truth,
Let the supposed fairies pinch him sound
And burn him with their tapers.
Mrs. Page. The truth being known,
We '11 all present ourselves, dishorn the spirit,
And mock him home to Windsor.
Ford. The children must
Be practis'd well to this or they '11 ne'er do 't.
Evans. I will teach the children their behav-
iours ;and I will be like a jack-a-napes also, to burn
the knight with my taber.
Ford. That will be excellent. I '11 go and buy
them vizards. 71
