1 |
The Florentines and Senoys are by the ears;
|
|
2 |
Nay, 'tis most credible; we here received it
|
|
3 |
He hath arm'd our answer,
|
|
4 |
What's he comes here? |
|
5 |
Youth, thou bear'st thy father's face;
|
|
6 |
I would I had that corporal soundness now,
|
|
7 |
Would I were with him! He would always say—
|
|
8 |
I fill a place, I know't. How long is't, count,
|
|
9 |
If he were living, I would try him yet.
|
|
10 |
Farewell, young lords; these warlike principles
|
|
11 |
No, no, it cannot be; and yet my heart
|
|
12 |
Those girls of Italy, take heed of them:
|
|
13 |
Farewell. Come hither to me. |
|
14 |
I'll fee thee to stand up. |
|
15 |
I would I had; so I had broke thy pate,
|
|
16 |
No. |
|
17 |
What 'her' is this? |
|
18 |
Now, good Lafeu,
|
|
19 |
Thus he his special nothing ever prologues. |
|
20 |
This haste hath wings indeed. |
|
21 |
Now, fair one, does your business follow us? |
|
22 |
I knew him. |
|
23 |
We thank you, maiden;
|
|
24 |
I cannot give thee less, to be call'd grateful:
|
|
25 |
I must not hear thee; fare thee well, kind maid;
|
|
26 |
Are thou so confident? within what space
|
|
27 |
Upon thy certainty and confidence
|
|
28 |
Methinks in thee some blessed spirit doth speak
|
|
29 |
Make thy demand. |
|
30 |
Ay, by my sceptre and my hopes of heaven. |
|
31 |
Here is my hand; the premises observed,
|
|
32 |
Go, call before me all the lords in court.
|
|
33 |
Peruse them well:
|
|
34 |
Make choice; and, see,
|
|
35 |
Why, then, young Bertram, take her; she's thy wife. |
|
36 |
Know'st thou not, Bertram,
|
|
37 |
Thou know'st she has raised me from my sickly bed. |
|
38 |
'Tis only title thou disdain'st in her, the which
|
|
39 |
Thou wrong'st thyself, if thou shouldst strive to choose. |
|
40 |
My honour's at the stake; which to defeat,
|
|
41 |
Take her by the hand,
|
|
42 |
Good fortune and the favour of the king
|
|
43 |
We lost a jewel of her; and our esteem
|
|
44 |
My honour'd lady,
|
|
45 |
Praising what is lost
|
|
46 |
What says he to your daughter? have you spoke? |
|
47 |
Then shall we have a match. I have letters sent me
|
|
48 |
I am not a day of season,
|
|
49 |
All is whole;
|
|
50 |
Well excused:
|
|
51 |
Now, pray you, let me see it; for mine eye,
|
|
52 |
Plutus himself,
|
|
53 |
Thou speak'st it falsely, as I love mine honour;
|
|
54 |
I am wrapp'd in dismal thinkings. |
|
55 |
[Reads] Upon his many protestations to marry me
|
|
56 |
The heavens have thought well on thee Lafeu,
|
|
57 |
I wonder, sir, sith wives are monsters to you,
|
|
58 |
Come hither, count; do you know these women? |
|
59 |
Sir, for my thoughts, you have them ill to friend
|
|
60 |
What say'st thou to her? |
|
61 |
Methought you said
|
|
62 |
Find him, and bring him hither. |
|
63 |
She hath that ring of yours. |
|
64 |
What ring was yours, I pray you? |
|
65 |
Know you this ring? this ring was his of late. |
|
66 |
The story then goes false, you threw it him
|
|
67 |
You boggle shrewdly, every feather stars you.
|
|
68 |
Tell me, sirrah, but tell me true, I charge you,
|
|
69 |
Come, come, to the purpose: did he love this woman? |
|
70 |
How, I pray you? |
|
71 |
How is that? |
|
72 |
As thou art a knave, and no knave. What an
|
|
73 |
But wilt thou not speak all thou knowest? |
|
74 |
Thou hast spoken all already, unless thou canst say
|
|
75 |
Where did you buy it? or who gave it you? |
|
76 |
Who lent it you? |
|
77 |
Where did you find it, then? |
|
78 |
If it were yours by none of all these ways,
|
|
79 |
This ring was mine; I gave it his first wife. |
|
80 |
Take her away; I do not like her now;
|
|
81 |
Take her away. |
|
82 |
I think thee now some common customer. |
|
83 |
Wherefore hast thou accused him all this while? |
|
84 |
She does abuse our ears: to prison with her. |
|
85 |
Is there no exorcist

|
86 |
