SLENDER
Ay, forsooth; I have spoke with her and we have a nay-word how to know one another: I come to her in white, and cry ’mum;’ she cries ’budget;’ and by that we know one another.

The night is dark; light and spirits will become it well. Heaven prosper our sport! No man means evil but the devil, and we shall know him by his horns. Let’s away; follow me.
