- Scene V] Notes 207
242. Stand. The station or hiding-place of a huntsman waiting
for game. Cf. Cytnb. iii. 4. i n : —
" Why hast thou gone so far,
To be unbent when thou hast ta'en thy stand,
The elected deer before thee ? "
See also Id. ii. 3. 75, Z. Z. Z. iv. i. 10, and 3 Hen. VI. iii. i. 3.
Some of the editors appear to suppose that stands were only for the
use of lady hunters, but it is evident from some of these passages
that this is a mistake. In Cy?nb., for instance, Pisanio is addressed,
and in 3 Hen. VI. a Keeper.
246. All sorts of deer are chased. " Young and old, does as well
as bucks. He alludes to Fenton's having just run down Anne Page "
(Malone). "Falstaff here takes a final chuckle over those who
have defeated his pursuit of the dear merry wives, by showing
them that their dear daughter has been caught by the man who
was not their choice, but hers " (Clarke).
Before this line Pope and Theobald insert from the quarto :
^^ Evans \aside to Fenton"]. I will dance and eat plums at your
wedding." Johnson regrets the omission of the following, which
the quarto gives after 243 : —
" Mi. For. Come mistris Page, He be bold with you,
Ti& pitie to part loue that is so true.
Mis. Pa. Ahho that I haue missed in my intent,
Yet / am glad my husbands match was crossed,
Here M. Yenton, take her, and God giue thee ioy.
Sir Hu : Come M, Page, you must needs agree.
F^. I yfaith sir come, you see your wife is wel pleased :
Pa. / cannot tel, and yet my hart's well eased,
And yet it doth me good the Doctor missed.
Come hither Yenton, and come hither daughter,
Go too you might haue staid for my good will,
But since your choise is made of one you loue.
Here take her, Yenton, & both happie proue.
Sir Hu. I wil also dance & eate plums at your weddings."
