Bora。 I came yonder from a great supper。 The Prince your brother is
royally entertain'd by Leonato�察 �and I can give you intelligence of an
intended marriage。
John。 Will it serve for any model to build mischief on�拭�What is he for a
fool that betroths himself to unquietness�拭�
Bora。 Marry�察�it is your brother's right hand。
John。 Who�拭�the most exquisite Claudio�拭�
Bora。 Even he。
John。 A proper squire� �And who�拭�and who�拭�which way looks he�拭�
Bora。 Marry�察�on Hero�察�the daughter and heir of Leonato。
John。 A very forward March´chick� �How came you to this�拭�
Bora。 Being entertain'd for a perfumer�察�as I was smoking a musty room�察�
comes me the Prince and Claudio�察�hand in hand in sad conference。 I whipt
me behind the arras and there heard it agreed upon that the Prince should
woo Hero for himself�察�and having obtain'd her�察�give her to Count Claudio。
John。 Come�察 �come�察 �let us thither。 This may prove food to my
displeasure。 That young start´up hath all the glory of my overthrow。 If I
can cross him any way�察�I bless myself every way。 You are both sure�察�and
will assist me�拭�
Con。 To the death�察�my lord。
John。 Let us to the great supper。 Their cheer is the greater that I am
subdued。 Would the cook were o' my mind� �Shall we go prove what's to be
done�拭�
Bora。 We'll wait upon your lordship。 ��Exeunt。�А�

SCENE I。
A hall in Leonato's house。
��Enter Leonato�察 。�Antonio�А �his Brother�察 �Hero his Daughter�察 �and
Beatrice his Niece�察�and a Kinsman�察。�also Margaret and Ursula。�А�
Leon。 Was not Count John here at supper�拭�
Ant。 I saw him not。
Beat。 How tartly that gentleman looks� �I never can see him but I am
heart´burn'd an hour after。
Hero。 He is of a very melancholy disposition。
Beat。 He were an excellent man that were made just in the midway
between him and Benedick。 The one is too like an image and says nothing�察�
and the other too like my lady's eldest son�察�evermore tattling。
Leon。 Then half Signior Benedick's tongue in Count John's mouth�察�and
half Count John's melancholy in Signior Benedick's face
Beat。 With a good leg and a good foot�察�uncle�察�and money enough in
his purse�察�such a man would win any woman in the worldif 'a could get
her good will。
Leon。 By my troth�察�niece�察�thou wilt never get thee a husband if thou be
so shrewd of thy tongue。
Ant。 In faith�察�she's too curst。
Beat。 Too curst is more than curst。 I shall lessen God's sending that
way�察�for it is said�察�'God sends a curst cow short horns��' but to a cow too
curst he sends none。
Leon。 So�察�by being too curst�察�God will send you no horns。
Beat。 Just�察�if he send me no husband�察�for the which blessing I am at
him upon my knees every morning and evening。 Lord�察�I could not endure
a husband with a beard on his face。 I had rather lie in the woollen� �
Leon。 You may light on a husband that hath no beard。
Beat。 What should I do with him�拭�dress him in my apparel and make
him my waiting gentlewoman�拭�He that hath a beard is more than a youth�察�
and he that hath no beard is less than a man�察�and he that is more than a
youth is not for me�察 �and he that is less than a man�察 �I am not for him。
Therefore I will even take sixpence in earnest of the berrord and lead his

apes into hell。
Leon。 Well then�察�go you into hell�拭�
Beat。 No�察�but to the gate�察�and there will the devil meet me like an old
cuckold with horns on his head�察�and say 'Get you to heaven�察�Beatrice�察�get
you to heaven。 Here's no place for you maids。' So deliver I up my apes�察�
and away to Saint Peterfor the heavens。 He shows me where the
bachelors sit�察�and there live we as merry as the day is long。
Ant。 ��to Hero�А�Well�察�niece�察�I trust you will be rul'd by your father。
Beat。 Yes faith。 It is my cousin's duty to make cursy and say�察�'Father�察�as
it please you。' But yet for all that�察�cousin�察�let him be a handsome fellow�察�or
else make another cursy�察�and say�察�'Father�察�as it please me。'
Leon。 Well�察�niece�察�I hope to see you one day fitted with a husband。
Beat。 Not till God make men of some other metal than earth。 Would it
not grieve a woman to be overmaster'd with a piece of valiant dust�拭 �to
make an account of her life to a clod of wayward marl�拭 �No�察 �uncle�察 �I'll
none。 Adam's sons are my brethren�察�and truly I hold it a sin to match in my
kinred。
Leon。 Daughter�察�remember what I told you。 If the Prince do solicit you
in that kind�察�you know your answer。
Beat。 The fault will be in the music�察 �cousin�察�if you be not wooed in
good time。 If the Prince be too important�察 �tell him there is measure in
everything�察 �and so dance out the answer。 For�察 �hear me�察 �Hero�此 �wooing�察�
wedding�察�and repenting is as a Scotch jig�察�a measure�察�and a cinque´pace�此�
the first suit is hot and hasty like a Scotch jigand full as fantastical�察�the
wedding�察�mannerly modest�察�as a measure�察�full of state and ancientry�察�and
then comes Repentance and with his bad legs falls into the cinque´pace
faster and faster�察�till he sink into his grave。
Leon。 Cousin�察�you apprehend passing shrewdly。
Beat。 I have a good eye�察�uncle�察�I can see a church by daylight。
Leon。 The revellers are ent'ring�察�brother。 Make good room。

Pedro。 Lady�察�will you walk a bout with your friend�拭�
Hero。 So you walk softly and look sweetly and say nothing�察�I am yours
for the walk�察�and especially when I walk away。
Pedro。 With me in your company�拭�
Hero。 I may say so when I please。
Pedro。 And when please you to say so�拭�
Hero。 When I like your favour�察�for God defend the lute should be like
the case� �
Pedro。 My visor is Philemon's roof�察�within the house is Jove。
Hero。 Why then�察�your visor should be thatch'd。
Pedro。 Speak low if you speak love。 ��Takes her aside。�А�
Balth。 Well�察�I would you did like me。
Marg。 So would not I for your own sake�察�for I have many ill qualities。
Balth。 Which is one�拭�
Marg。 I say my prayers aloud。
Balth。 I love you the better。 The hearers may cry Amen。
Marg。 God match me with a good dancer� �
Balth。 Amen。
Marg。 And God keep him out of my sight when the dance is done� �
Answer�察�clerk。
Balth。 No more words。 The clerk is answered。
��Takes her aside。�А�
Urs。 I know you well enough。 You are Signior Antonio。
Ant。 At a word�察�I am not。
Urs。 I know you by the waggling of your head。
Ant。 To tell you true�察�I counterfeit him。
Urs。 You could never do him so ill´well unless you were the very man。
Here's his dry hand up and down。 You are he�察�you are he� �
Ant。 At a word�察�I am not。
Urs。 Come�察�come�察�do you think I do not know you by your excellent
wit�拭�Can virtue hide itself�拭�Go to�察 �mum you are he。 Graces will appear�察�
and there's an end。 �А�They step aside。�А�
Beat。 Will you not tell me who told you so�拭�
Bene。 No�察�you shall pardon me。

Beat。 Nor will you not tell me who you are�拭�
Bene。 Not now。
Beat。 That I was disdainful�察 �and that I had my good wit out of the
'Hundred Merry Tales。' Well�察�this was Signior Benedick that said so。
Bene。 What's he�拭�
Beat。 I am sure you know him well enough。
Bene。 Not I�察�believe me。
Beat。 Did he never make you laugh�拭�
Bene。 I pray you�察�what is he�拭�
Beat。 Why�察�he is the Prince's jester�察�a very dull fool。 Only his gift is in
devising impossible slanders。 None but libertines delight in him�察�and the
commendation is not in his wit�察�but in his villany�察�for he both pleases men
and angers them�察�and then they laugh at him and beat him。 I am sure he is
in the fleet。 I would he had boarded me。
Bene。 When I know the gentleman�察�I'll tell him what you say。
Beat。 Do�察 �do。 He'll but break a comparison or two on me�察 �which
peradventure�察�not marked or not laugh'd at�察�strikes him into melancholy�察�
and then there's a partridge wing saved�察�for the fool will eat no supper that
night。 ��Music。�А�We must follow the leaders。
Bene。 In every good thing。
Beat。 Nay�察�if they lead to any ill�察�I will leave them at the next turning。
��Dance。 Exeunt ��all but Don John�察�Borachio�察�and Claudio�А�
John。 Sure my brother is amorous on Hero and hath withdrawn her
father to break with him about it。 The ladies follow her and but one visor
remains。
Bora。 And that is Claudio。 I know him by his bearing。
John。 Are you not Signior Benedick�拭�
