Merry Wives of Windsor, Act III Scene 2
The phrase "I cannot tell what the dickens his name is" comes from Shakespeare's play "The Tempest." It is spoken by the character Trinculo in Act 5, Scene 1, as he expresses confusion about the identity of Caliban. The term "dickens" is an old euphemism for the devil, used to convey surprise or perplexity.
The Merry Wives of Windsor: "FORD: Where had you this pretty weathercock? MRS PAGE: I cannot tell what the dickens his name is my husband had him of".This quotation is from Act 3 Scene 2 of The Merry Wives of Windsor.
