| <H3>SCENE III. The same.</h3> | |
| <p><blockquote> | |
| <i>Enter DON JOHN and CONRADE</i> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech1><b>CONRADE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>What the good-year, my lord! why are you thus out</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>of measure sad?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>DON JOHN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=3>There is no measure in the occasion that breeds;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>therefore the sadness is without limit.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>CONRADE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=5>You should hear reason.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech4><b>DON JOHN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=6>And when I have heard it, what blessing brings it?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech5><b>CONRADE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=7>If not a present remedy, at least a patient</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>sufferance.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech6><b>DON JOHN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=9>I wonder that thou, being, as thou sayest thou art,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>born under Saturn, goest about to apply a moral</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>medicine to a mortifying mischief. I cannot hide</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>what I am: I must be sad when I have cause and smile</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>at no man's jests, eat when I have stomach and wait</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>for no man's leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=15>tend on no man's business, laugh when I am merry and</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>claw no man in his humour.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech7><b>CONRADE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=17>Yea, but you must not make the full show of this</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>till you may do it without controlment. You have of</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>late stood out against your brother, and he hath</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=20>ta'en you newly into his grace; where it is</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>impossible you should take true root but by the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=22>fair weather that you make yourself: it is needful</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>that you frame the season for your own harvest.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech8><b>DON JOHN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=24>I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=25>his grace, and it better fits my blood to be</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=26>disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=27>love from any: in this, though I cannot be said to</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=28>be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>but I am a plain-dealing villain. I am trusted with</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=30>a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog; therefore I</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=31>have decreed not to sing in my cage. If I had my</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=32>mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=33>my liking: in the meantime let me be that I am and</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=34>seek not to alter me.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech9><b>CONRADE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=35>Can you make no use of your discontent?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech10><b>DON JOHN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=36>I make all use of it, for I use it only.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=37>Who comes here?</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Enter BORACHIO</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=38>What news, Borachio?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech11><b>BORACHIO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=39>I came yonder from a great supper: the prince your</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=40>brother is royally entertained by Leonato: and I</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=41>can give you intelligence of an intended marriage.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech12><b>DON JOHN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=42>Will it serve for any model to build mischief on?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=43>What is he for a fool that betroths himself to</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=44>unquietness?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech13><b>BORACHIO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=45>Marry, it is your brother's right hand.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech14><b>DON JOHN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=46>Who? the most exquisite Claudio?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech15><b>BORACHIO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=47>Even he.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech16><b>DON JOHN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=48>A proper squire! And who, and who? which way looks</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=49>he?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech17><b>BORACHIO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=50>Marry, on Hero, the daughter and heir of Leonato.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech18><b>DON JOHN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=51>A very forward March-chick! How came you to this?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech19><b>BORACHIO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=52>Being entertained for a perfumer, as I was smoking a</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=53>musty room, comes me the prince and Claudio, hand</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=54>in hand in sad conference: I whipt me behind the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=55>arras; and there heard it agreed upon that the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=56>prince should woo Hero for himself, and having</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=57>obtained her, give her to Count Claudio.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech20><b>DON JOHN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=58>Come, come, let us thither: this may prove food to</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=59>my displeasure. That young start-up hath all the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=60>glory of my overthrow: if I can cross him any way, I</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=61>bless myself every way. You are both sure, and will assist me?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech21><b>CONRADE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=62>To the death, my lord.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech22><b>DON JOHN</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=63>Let us to the great supper: their cheer is the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=64>greater that I am subdued. Would the cook were of</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=65>my mind! Shall we go prove what's to be done?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech23><b>BORACHIO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=66>We'll wait upon your lordship.</A><br> | |
