.Come, follow me, boy; come, sir boy, come, follow me:Sir boy, I'll whip you from your foining fence;Nay, as I am a gentleman, I will.LEONATOBrother, --ANTONIOContent yourself.God knows I loved my niece;And she is dead, slander'd to death by villains,That dare as well answer a man indeedAs I dare take a serpent by the tongue:Boys, apes, braggarts, Jacks, milksops!LEONATOBrother Antony, --ANTONIOHold you content.What, man! I know them, yea,And what they weigh, even to the utmost scruple, --Scrambling, out-facing, fashion-monging boys,That lie and cog and flout, deprave and slander,Go anticly, show outward hideousness,And speak off half a dozen dangerous words,How they might hurt their enemies, if they durst;And this is all.LEONATOBut, brother Antony, --ANTONIOCome, 'tis no matter:Do not you meddle; let me deal in this.DON PEDROGentlemen both, we will not wake your patience.My heart is sorry for your daughter's death:But, on my honour, she was charged with nothingBut what was true and very full of proof.LEONATOMy lord, my lord, --DON PEDROI will not hear you.LEONATONo?

Hadwe fought, I doubt we should have been too young for them.BENEDICKIn a false quarrel there is no true valour.I cameto seek you both.CLAUDIOWe have been up and down to seek thee; for we arehigh-proof melancholy and would fain have it beatenaway.Wilt thou use thy wit?BENEDICKIt is in my scabbard: shall I draw it?DON PEDRODost thou wear thy wit by thy side?CLAUDIONever any did so, though very many have been besidetheir wit.I will bid thee draw, as we do theminstrels; draw, to pleasure us.DON PEDROAs I am an honest man, he looks pale.Art thousick, or angry?CLAUDIOWhat, courage, man! What though care killed a cat,thou hast mettle enough in thee to kill care.BENEDICKSir, I shall meet your wit in the career, and youcharge it against me.I pray you choose another subject.CLAUDIONay, then, give him another staff: this last wasbroke cross.DON PEDROBy this light, he changes more and more: I thinkhe be angry indeed.CLAUDIOIf he be, he knows how to turn his girdle.BENEDICKShall I speak a word in your ear?CLAUDIOGod bless me from a challenge!BENEDICK[Aside to CLAUDIO]You are a villain; I jest not:I will make it good how you dare, with what youdare, and when you dare.Do me right, or I willprotest your cowardice.You have killed a sweetlady, and her death shall fall heavy on you.Let mehear from you.CLAUDIOWell, I will meet you, so I may have good cheer.DON PEDROWhat, a feast, a feast?CLAUDIOI' faith, I thank him; he hath bid me to a calf'shead and a capon; the which if I do not carve mostcuriously, say my knife's naught.Shall I not finda woodcock too?BENEDICKSir, your wit ambles well; it goes easily.DON PEDROI'll tell thee how Beatrice praised thy wit theother day.I said, thou hadst a fine wit: 'True,'said she, 'a fine little one.'

Thusdid she, an hour together, transshape thy particularvirtues: yet at last she concluded with a sigh, thouwast the properest man in Italy.CLAUDIOFor the which she wept heartily and said she carednot.DON PEDROYea, that she did: but yet, for all that, an if shedid not hate him deadly, she would love him dearly:the old man's daughter told us all.CLAUDIOAll, all; and, moreover, God saw him when he washid in the garden.DON PEDROBut when shall we set the savage bull's horns onthe sensible Benedick's head?CLAUDIOYea, and text underneath, 'Here dwells Benedick themarried man'?BENEDICKFare you well, boy: you know my mind.I will leaveyou now to your gossip-like humour: you break jestsas braggarts do their blades, which God be thanked,hurt not.My lord, for your many courtesies I thankyou: I must discontinue your company: your brotherthe bastard is fled from Messina: you have amongyou killed a sweet and innocent lady.For my LordLackbeard there, he and I shall meet: and, tillthen, peace be with him.[Exit]DON PEDROHe is in earnest.CLAUDIOIn most profound earnest; and, I'll warrant you, forthe love of Beatrice.DON PEDROAnd hath challenged thee.CLAUDIOMost sincerely.DON PEDROWhat a pretty thing man is when he goes in hisdoublet and hose and leaves off his wit!CLAUDIOHe is then a giant to an ape; but then is an ape adoctor to such a man.DON PEDROBut, soft you, let me be: pluck up, my heart, andbe sad.Did he not say, my brother was fled?[Enter DOGBERRY, VERGES, and the Watch, with CONRADE and BORACHIO]DOGBERRYCome you, sir: if justice cannot tame you, sheshall ne'er weigh more reasons in her balance: nay,an you be a cursing hypocrite once, you must be looked to.DON PEDROHow now? two of my brother's men bound!
