| <A NAME=1>Good Ursula, wake my cousin Beatrice, and desire</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>her to rise.</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=3>I will, lady.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>HERO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=4>And bid her come hither.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech4><b>URSULA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=5>Well.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Exit</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech5><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=6>Troth, I think your other rabato were better.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech6><b>HERO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=7>No, pray thee, good Meg, I'll wear this.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech7><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=8>By my troth, 's not so good; and I warrant your</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>cousin will say so.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech8><b>HERO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=10>My cousin's a fool, and thou art another: I'll wear</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>none but this.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech9><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=12>I like the new tire within excellently, if the hair</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>were a thought browner; and your gown's a most rare</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>fashion, i' faith. I saw the Duchess of Milan's</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=15>gown that they praise so.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech10><b>HERO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=16>O, that exceeds, they say.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech11><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=17>By my troth, 's but a night-gown in respect of</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>yours: cloth o' gold, and cuts, and laced with</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>silver, set with pearls, down sleeves, side sleeves,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=20>and skirts, round underborne with a bluish tinsel:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>but for a fine, quaint, graceful and excellent</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=22>fashion, yours is worth ten on 't.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech12><b>HERO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=23>God give me joy to wear it! for my heart is</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=24>exceeding heavy.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech13><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=25>'Twill be heavier soon by the weight of a man.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech14><b>HERO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=26>Fie upon thee! art not ashamed?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech15><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=27>Of what, lady? of speaking honourably? Is not</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=28>marriage honourable in a beggar? Is not your lord</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>honourable without marriage? I think you would have</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=30>me say, 'saving your reverence, a husband:' and bad</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=31>thinking do not wrest true speaking, I'll offend</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=32>nobody: is there any harm in 'the heavier for a</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=33>husband'? None, I think, and it be the right husband</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=34>and the right wife; otherwise 'tis light, and not</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=35>heavy: ask my Lady Beatrice else; here she comes.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Enter BEATRICE</i></p> | |

| <A NAME=speech16><b>HERO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=36>Good morrow, coz.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech17><b>BEATRICE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=37>Good morrow, sweet Hero.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech18><b>HERO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=38>Why how now? do you speak in the sick tune?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech19><b>BEATRICE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=39>I am out of all other tune, methinks.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech20><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=40>Clap's into 'Light o' love;' that goes without a</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=41>burden: do you sing it, and I'll dance it.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech21><b>BEATRICE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=42>Ye light o' love, with your heels! then, if your</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=43>husband have stables enough, you'll see he shall</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=44>lack no barns.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech22><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=45>O illegitimate construction! I scorn that with my heels.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech23><b>BEATRICE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=46>'Tis almost five o'clock, cousin; tis time you were</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=47>ready. By my troth, I am exceeding ill: heigh-ho!</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech24><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=48>For a hawk, a horse, or a husband?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech25><b>BEATRICE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=49>For the letter that begins them all, H.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech26><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=50>Well, and you be not turned Turk, there's no more</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=51>sailing by the star.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech27><b>BEATRICE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=52>What means the fool, trow?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech28><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=53>Nothing I; but God send every one their heart's desire!</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech29><b>HERO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=54>These gloves the count sent me; they are an</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=55>excellent perfume.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech30><b>BEATRICE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=56>I am stuffed, cousin; I cannot smell.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech31><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=57>A maid, and stuffed! there's goodly catching of cold.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech32><b>BEATRICE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=58>O, God help me! God help me! how long have you</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=59>professed apprehension?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech33><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=60>Even since you left it. Doth not my wit become me rarely?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech34><b>BEATRICE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=61>It is not seen enough, you should wear it in your</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=62>cap. By my troth, I am sick.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech35><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=63>Get you some of this distilled Carduus Benedictus,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=64>and lay it to your heart: it is the only thing for a qualm.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech36><b>HERO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=65>There thou prickest her with a thistle.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech37><b>BEATRICE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=66>Benedictus! why Benedictus? you have some moral in</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=67>this Benedictus.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech38><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=68>Moral! no, by my troth, I have no moral meaning; I</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=69>meant, plain holy-thistle. You may think perchance</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=70>that I think you are in love: nay, by'r lady, I am</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=71>not such a fool to think what I list, nor I list</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=72>not to think what I can, nor indeed I cannot think,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=73>if I would think my heart out of thinking, that you</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=74>are in love or that you will be in love or that you</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=75>can be in love. Yet Benedick was such another, and</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=76>now is he become a man: he swore he would never</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=77>marry, and yet now, in despite of his heart, he eats</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=78>his meat without grudging: and how you may be</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=79>converted I know not, but methinks you look with</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=80>your eyes as other women do.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech39><b>BEATRICE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=81>What pace is this that thy tongue keeps?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech40><b>MARGARET</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=82>Not a false gallop.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Re-enter URSULA</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech41><b>URSULA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=83>Madam, withdraw: the prince, the count, Signior</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=84>Benedick, Don John, and all the gallants of the</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=85>town, are come to fetch you to church.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech42><b>HERO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=86>Help to dress me, good coz, good Meg, good Ursula.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Exeunt</i></p> | |
