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
give you leave to depart�察 �and if a merry meeting may be wish'd�察 �God
prohibit it� �Come�察�neighbour。 ��Exeunt ��Dogberry and Verges。�А�
Leon。 Until to´morrow morning�察�lords�察�farewell。
Ant。 Farewell�察�my lords。 We look for you to´morrow。
Pedro。 We will not fall。
Claud。 To´night I'll mourn with Hero。 ��Exeunt Don Pedro and
Claudio。�А�

Scene II。 Leonato's orchard。
��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
witness�察�is
