What does Shakespeare mean by the word festinately?

Don Armado in Love's Labour's Lost says this: "Sweet air! Go, tenderness of years; take this key, give enlargement to the swain, bring him festinately hither: I must employ him in a letter to my love." This is the only time Shakespeare ever uses the word, and it is in the mouth of a Spaniard whose English is not that great. It would appear to mean "speedily", but knowing Don Armado, it could mean anything. It may in fact be a word that Shakespeare made up so his audience would say, "Look at that silly Spaniard! He can't even use a proper English word!"


What does William Shakespeare mean by festinately?

Shakespeare only used this word once, in a speech by Don Armado from Love's Labour's Lost: Sweet air! Go, tenderness of years; take this key, give enlargement to the swain, bring him festinately hither: I must employ him in a letter to my love. You're probably thinking "Shakespeare wrote weird English" and it's true this time because Don Armado is a Spaniard and Shakespeare deliberately had him speaking English badly. Nobody called anyone "tenderness of years" in Shakespeare's day any more than they do now. It's ridiculous. So, my guess is that Armado is trying to say "quickly", but instead comes up with this bizarre Latin-based word that nobody would use.
