"O diable, diable!  Vat is in my closet?  Villiany!  Larron!  Rugby, my rapier!" (Merry Wives of Windsor, Act I; Scene IV).

 

Doctor Caius's accent amused me.  I do not remember reading any of Shakespeare's plays where he uses accents in his dialogue.  I really liked the accent because it gave Caius more character than just being a doctor.  This also reminded me of Spanglish, because Caius uses French words as well as English when speaking.  The accent seemed to set him apart from the other characters.  Perhaps it indicates that Caius is foolish, because he cannot coherently speak English.
