What's your offence�拭�

     Bora。 Sweet Prince�察�let me go no farther to mine answer。 Do you hear 

me�察�and let this Count kill me。 I have deceived even your very eyes。 What 

your   wisdoms   could   not   discover�察  �these   shallow   fools   have   brought   to 

light�察  �who   in   the   night   overheard   me   confessing   to   this   man�察  �how   Don 

John your brother incensed me to slander the Lady Hero�察�how you were 

brought into the orchard and saw me court Margaret in Hero's garments�察�

how you disgrac'd her when you should marry her。 My villany they have 

upon record�察�which I had rather seal with my death than repeat over to my 

shame。 The lady is dead upon mine and my master's false accusation�察�and 

briefly�察�I desire nothing but the reward of a villain。 

     Pedro。 Runs not this speech like iron through your blood�拭�

     Claud。 I have drunk poison whiles he utter'd it。 Pedro。 

     But did my brother set thee on to this�拭�

     Bora。 Yea�察�and paid me richly for the practice of it。 

     Pedro。   He   is   compos'd   and   fram'd   of   treachery�察�And   fled   he   is   upon 

this villany。 

     Claud。 Sweet Hero�察�now thy image doth appear In the rare semblance 

that I lov'd it first。 

     Dog。   Come�察  �bring   away   the   plaintiffs。   By   this   time   our   sexton   hath 

reformed   Signior   Leonato   of   the   matter。  And�察  �masters�察  �do   not   forget   to 

specify�察�when time and place shall serve�察�that I am an ass。 

     Verg。  Here�察  �here   comes   Master   Signior   Leonato�察 �and   the sexton   too。

��Enter Leonato�察�his brother ��Antonio�В察�and the Sexton。�А�

     Leon。   Which   is   the   villain�拭  �Let   me   see   his   eyes�察  �That�察  �when   I   note 

another man like him�察�I may avoid him。 Which of these is he�拭�

     Bora。 If you would know your wronger�察�look on me。 

     Leon。 Art thou the slave that with thy breath hast kill'd Mine innocent 

child�拭�

     Bora。 Yea�察�even I alone。 

     Leon。   No�察  �not   so�察  �villain�   �thou   beliest   thyself。   Here   stand   a   pair   of 

honourable men A third is fledthat had a hand in it。 I thank you princes 

for my daughter's death。 Record it with your high and worthy deeds。 'Twas 

bravely done�察�if you bethink you of it。 

     Claud。    I  know    not   how    to  pray   your   patience�察  �Yet   I  must   speak。 

Choose your revenge yourself�察�Impose me to what penance your invention 

Can lay upon my sin。 Yet sinn'd I not But in mistaking。 

     Pedro。   By   my   soul�察  �nor   I�   �And   yet�察  �to   satisfy   this   good   old   man�察  �I 

would bend under any heavy weight That he'll enjoin me to。 

     Leon。 I   cannot bid   you   bid my  daughter live´ That   were   impossible�察�

but I pray you both�察�Possess the people in Messina here How innocent she 

died�察  �and   if   your   love   Can   labour   aught   in   sad   invention�察  �Hang   her   an 

epitaph   upon   her   tomb�察  �And   sing   it   to   her   bonessing   it   to´night。   To´ 

morrow morning come you to my house�察�And since you could not be my 

son´in´law�察  �Be   yet   my   nephew。   My   brother   hath   a   daughter�察�Almost   the 

copy of my child that's dead�察�And she alone is heir to both of us。 Give her 

the right you should have giv'n her cousin�察�And so dies my revenge。 

     Claud。 O noble sir� �Your over´kindness doth wring tears from me。 I do 

embrace your offer�察�and dispose For henceforth of poor Claudio。 

     Leon。 To´morrow then I will expect your coming�察�To´night I take my 

leave。 This naughty man Shall fact to face be brought to Margaret�察�Who I 

believe was pack'd in all this wrong�察�Hir'd to it by your brother。 

     Bora。 No�察�by my soul�察�she was not�察�Nor knew not what she did when 

she spoke to me�察�But always hath been just and virtuous In anything that I 

do know by her。 Dog。 Moreover�察�sir�察�which indeed is not under white and 

black�察�this plaintiff here�察�the offender�察�did call me ass。 I beseech you let it 

be rememb'red in his punishment。 And also the watch heard them talk of

one Deformed。 They say he wears a key in his ear�察�and a lock hanging by 

it�察�and borrows money in God's name�察�the which he hath us'd so long and 

never   paid   that   now   men   grow   hard´hearted   and   will   lend   nothing   for 

God's sake。 Pray you examine him upon that point。 

     Leon。 I thank thee for thy care and honest pains。 

     Dog。 Your worship speaks like a most thankful and reverent youth�察�and 

I praise God for you。 

     Leon。 There's for thy pains。 ��Gives money。�А�

     Dog。 God save the foundation� �

     Leon。 Go�察�I discharge thee of thy prisoner�察�and I thank thee。 

     Dog。 I leave an arrant knave with your worship�察�which I beseech your 

worship   to   correct   yourself�察  �for   the   example   of   others。   God   keep   your 

worship� �I wish your worship well。 God restore you to health� �I humbly

Claudio。�А�

     Margaret�察�How her acquaintance grew with this lewd fellow。 ��Exeunt。�А�

     ��Enter Benedick and Margaret ��meeting。�А�

     Bene。 Pray thee�察�sweet Mistress Margaret�察�deserve well at my hands by 

helping me to the speech of Beatrice。 

     Marg。 Will you then write me a sonnet in praise of my beauty�拭�

     Bene。 In so high a style�察�Margaret�察�that no man living shall come over 

it�察�for in most comely truth thou deservest it。 

     Marg。 To have no man come over me�拭�Why�察�shall I always keep below 

stairs�拭�

     Bene。 Thy wit is as quick as the greyhound's mouthit catches。 

     Marg。 And yours as blunt as the fencer's foils�察�which hit but hurt not。 

     Bene。 A most manly wit�察�Margaret�此�it will not hurt a woman。 And so I

pray thee call Beatrice。 I give thee the bucklers。 

     Marg。 Give us the swords�察�we have bucklers of our own。 

     Bene。 If you use them�察�Margaret�察�you must put in the pikes with a vice�察�

and they are dangerous weapons for maids。 

     Marg。 Well�察�I will call Beatrice to you�察�who I think hath legs。 

     Bene。 And   therefore   will   come。   ��Exit   Margaret。�А  。�Sings�А �The   god   of 

love�察   �That   sits  above   And    knows     me�察  �and   knows    me�察  �How     pitiful  I 

deserve   I   mean   in   singing�察  �but   in   loving   Leander   the   good   swimmer�察�

Troilus   the   first   employer   of   panders�察  �and   a   whole   book   full   of   these 

quondam carpet´mongers�察�whose names yet run smoothly in the even road 

of a blank versewhy�察�they were never so truly turn'd over and over as my 

poor self in love。 Marry�察�I cannot show it in rhyme。 I have tried。 I can find 

out no rhyme to 'lady' but 'baby' an innocent rhyme�察�for 'scorn��' 'horn'a 

hard rhyme�察�for 'school'�察�'fool'a babbling rhyme�此�very ominous endings� �

No�察  �I   was   not   born   under   a   rhyming   planet�察  �nor   cannot   woo   in   festival 

terms。 ��Enter Beatrice。�А�Sweet Beatrice�察�wouldst thou come when I call'd 

thee�拭�

     Beat。 Yea�察�signior�察�and depart when you bid me。 

     Bene。 O�察�stay but till then� �

     Beat。 'Then' is spoken。 Fare you well now。 And yet�察�ere I go�察�let me go 

with that I came for�察�which is�察�with knowing what hath pass'd between you 

and Claudio。 

     Bene。 Only foul words�察�and thereupon I will kiss thee。 

     Beat。 Foul words is but foul wind�察�and foul wind is but foul breath�察�and 

foul breath is noisome。 Therefore I will depart unkiss'd。 Bene。 Thou hast 

frighted the word out of his right sense�察�so forcible is thy wit。 But I must 

tell   thee  plainly�察  �Claudio    undergoes     my    challenge�察   �and   either  I  must 

shortly hear from him or I will subscribe him a coward。 And I pray thee 

now tell me�察�for which of my bad parts didst thou first fall in love with 

me�拭�

     Beat。 For them all together�察�which maintain'd so politic a state of evil 

that they will not admit any good part to intermingle with them。 But for 

which of my good parts did you first suffer love for me�拭�

     Bene。 Suffer love��a good epithet。 I do suffer love indeed�察�for I love

thee against my will。 

     Beat。 In spite of your heart�察�I think。 Alas�察�poor heart� �If you spite it for 

my sake�察�I will spite it for yours�察�for I will never love that which my friend 

hates。 

     Bene。 Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably。 

     Beat。   It   appears   not  in   this   confession。   There's   not   one   wise   man 

among twenty�察�that will praise himself。 

     Bene。 An old�察�an old instance�察�Beatrice�察�that liv'd in the time of good 

neighbours。 If a man do not erect in this age his own tomb ere he dies�察�he 

shall live no longer in monument than the bell rings and the widow weeps。 

     Beat。 And how long is that�察�think you�拭�

     Bene。   Question�此  �why�察  �an   hour   in   clamour   and   a   quarter   in   rheum。 

Therefore is it most expedient for the wise�察�if Don Worm ��his conscience�� 

find no impediment to the contrary�察�to be the trumpet of his own virtues�察�as 

I   am   to   myself。   So   much   for   praising   myself�察  �who�察  �I   myself   will   bear
