Evans. 
Peace your tattlings!  What is ‘fair,’ William?

William. 
Pulcher.

Quickly. 
Polecats!  There are fairer things than polecats, sure.

Evans. 
You are a very simplicity ’oman; I pray you, peace.  What is
‘lapis,’ William?

William. 
A stone.

Evans. 
And what is ‘a stone,’ William?

William. 
A pebble.

Evans. 
No, it is ‘lapis’; I pray you remember in your prain.

William. 
Lapis.

Evans. 
That is a good William.  What is he, William, that does lend articles?

William. 
Articles are borrowed of the pronoun, and be thus declined: 
Singulariter, nominativo; hic, haec, hoc.

Evans. 
Nominativo, hig, hag, hog; pray you, mark:  genitivo, hujus.  Well,
what is your accusative case?

William. 
Accusativo, hinc.

Evans. 
I pray you, have your remembrance, child.  Accusativo, hung, hang, hog.

Quickly. 
‘Hang-hog’ is Latin for bacon, I warrant you.

Evans. 
Leave your prabbles, ’oman.  What is the focative case, William?

William. 
O vocativo, O.

Evans. 
Remember, William:  focative is caret.

Quickly. 
And that’s a good root.

Evans. 
’Oman, forbear.

Mrs. Page. 
Peace.

Evans. 
What is your genitive case plural, William?

William. 
Genitive case?

Evans. 
Ay.

William. 
Genitive:  horum, harum, horum.

Quickly. 
Vengeance of Jenny’s case; fie on her!  Never name her, child, if
she be a whore.

Evans. 
For shame, ’oman.

Quickly.  You do ill to teach the child such words.  He teaches him to hick and to hack, which they’ll do fast enough of themselves; and to call ‘horum;’ fie upon you!

Evans.  ’Oman, art thou lunatics?  Hast thou no understandings for thy cases, and the numbers of the genders?  Thou art as foolish Christian creatures as I would desires.

Mrs. Page. 
Prithee, hold thy peace.

Evans. 
Show me now, William, some declensions of your pronouns.

William. 
Forsooth, I have forgot.

Evans. 
It is qui, quae, quod; if you forget your ‘quis’, your ‘quaes’,
and your ‘quods’, you must be preeches.  Go your ways and play; go.

Mrs. Page. 
He is a better scholar than I thought he was.

Evans. 
He is a good sprag memory.  Farewell, Mistress Page.

Mrs. Page. 
Adieu, good Sir Hugh.

[Exit sir Hugh.]

Get you home, boy.  Come, we stay too long.
