The Merry Wives of Windsor: Act 4 Scene 3

Scene III A room in the Garter Inn.

[Enter Host and BARDOLPH]

BARDOLPH

Sir, the Germans desire to have three of your

horses: the duke himself will be to-morrow at

court, and they are going to meet him.

HOST

What duke should that be comes so secretly? I hear

not of him in the court. Let me speak with the

gentlemen: they speak English?

BARDOLPH

Ay, sir; I'll call them to you.

HOST

They shall have my horses; but I'll make them pay;

I'll sauce them: they have had my house a week at

command; I have turned away my other guests: they

must come off; I'll sauce them. Come.

[Exeunt]
