| <A NAME=1>How now, brother! Where is my cousin, your son?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>hath he provided this music?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>ANTONIO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=3>He is very busy about it. But, brother, I can tell</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>you strange news that you yet dreamt not of.</A><br> | |

| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=6>As the event stamps them: but they have a good</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>cover; they show well outward. The prince and Count</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>Claudio, walking in a thick-pleached alley in mine</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>orchard, were thus much overheard by a man of mine:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>the prince discovered to Claudio that he loved my</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>niece your daughter and meant to acknowledge it</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>this night in a dance: and if he found her</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>accordant, he meant to take the present time by the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>top and instantly break with you of it.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech5><b>LEONATO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=15>Hath the fellow any wit that told you this?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech6><b>ANTONIO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=16>A good sharp fellow: I will send for him; and</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>question him yourself.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech7><b>LEONATO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=18>No, no; we will hold it as a dream till it appear</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>itself: but I will acquaint my daughter withal,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=20>that she may be the better prepared for an answer,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>if peradventure this be true. Go you and tell her of it.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Enter Attendants</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=22>Cousins, you know what you have to do. O, I cry you</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>mercy, friend; go you with me, and I will use your</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=24>skill. Good cousin, have a care this busy time.</A><br> | |
