Shallow: Cousin Abraham Slender, can you love her?
Slender: I hope, sir, I will do as it shall become one that would do reason.
Evans: Nay, Got’s lords and his ladies! You must speak possitable, if you can carry her desires towards her.
Shallow: That you must. Will you, upon good dowry, marry her? (The Merry Wives of Windsor lines 218-225).

"Evans: Shall I tell you a lie? I do despise a liar as I do despise one that is false, or as I despise one that is not true. The knight Sir John is there; and, I beseech you, be ruled by your well-willers. I will peat the door for Master Page. [Knocks.] What, ho! Got pless your house here." (Merry Wives of Windsor, lines 63-8)

Falstaff: I have writ me here a letter to her; and here another to Page’s wife, who even now gave me good eyes too, examined my parts with most judicious oeillades. Sometimes the beam of her view gilded my foot, sometimes my portly belly.

Pistol: [Aside] Then did the sun on the dunghill shine (Shakespeare, The Merry Wives of Windsor I.iii.53-8).

Slender: "I will marry her, sir, at your request; but if there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance when we are married and have more occasion to know one another. I hope familiarity will grow more contempt. But if you say, 'Marry her,' I will marry her; that I am freely dissolved, and dissolutely." (MWW, Act 1, pg.12)
Now, who wants a pig roast and a weddin'?

Shallow. I know the young gentlewoman. She has good gifts.
