- 2:17Speaker 1: Act one, Scene one, Rosilian, the Count's palace, enter Bertram,
- 2:24Speaker 1: the Countess of Rossillon, Helena and Lafiue all in black.
- 2:29Speaker 15: In delivering my son from me, I bury a second husband.
- 2:35Speaker 16: And I in going mother weep o'er my father's death anew.
- 2:40Speaker 16: But I must attend His Majesty's command to whom I
- 2:44Speaker 16: am now in ward. Ever more, in subjection.
- 2:48Speaker 11: You shall find of the king a husband, Madam you sir,
- 2:53Speaker 11: a father. He that so generally is at all times good,
- 2:59Speaker 11: must of necessity hold his virtue to you, whose worthiness
- 3:05Speaker 11: would stir it up where it wanted, rather than lack it.
- 3:09Speaker 11: Where there is such abundance, What.
- 3:13Speaker 15: Hope is there of his Majesty's amendment?
- 3:16Speaker 11: He hath abandoned his physicians, Madam, under whose practices he
- 3:23Speaker 11: hath persecuted time with hope, and finds no other advantage
- 3:28Speaker 11: in the process, but only the losing of hope by time.
- 3:34Speaker 15: This young gentlewoman had a father, Oh that had how
- 3:39Speaker 15: sad a passage tis whose skill was almost as great
- 3:44Speaker 15: as his honesty. Had it stretched so far, would have
- 3:49Speaker 15: made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack
- 3:53Speaker 15: of work, would for the King's sake he were living.
- 3:58Speaker 15: I think it would be the death of the King's disease.
- 4:02Speaker 11: How coolly do the man you speak of, Madam?
- 4:05Speaker 15: He was famous, Sir, in his profession, and it was
- 4:09Speaker 15: his great right to be so. Gerard de Narbonne, he
- 4:14Speaker 15: was excellent.
- 4:15Speaker 11: Indeed, Madam the King very lately spoke of him admiringly
- 4:21Speaker 11: and mourningly. He was skillful enough to have lived. Still,
- 4:27Speaker 11: if knowledge could be set up against mortality.
- 4:32Speaker 16: What is it, my good lord? The king languages of.
- 4:36Speaker 11: Er Fistula, My Lord, I heard not of it before
- 4:42Speaker 11: I would it were not notorious? Was this gentlewoman the
- 4:48Speaker 11: daughter of Gerard, and now Bonn his.
- 4:51Speaker 15: Sole child, my Lord, and bequeathed to my overlooking I
- 4:56Speaker 15: have those hopes of her good that her education missus
- 5:01Speaker 15: her disposition. She inherits, which makes fair gifts fairer. For
- 5:06Speaker 15: where an unclean mind carries virtuous qualities, their commendations go
- 5:12Speaker 15: with pity. They are virtues and traitors too. In her
- 5:18Speaker 15: they are the better for their simpleness. She derives her
- 5:22Speaker 15: honesty and achieves her goodness.
- 5:26Speaker 11: Your commendations, Madam, get from her tears.
- 5:31Speaker 15: Tis the best brine a maiden can seison. Her praise
- 5:35Speaker 15: in the remembrance of her father never approaches her heart,
- 5:40Speaker 15: but the tyranny of her sorrows takes all livelihood from
- 5:44Speaker 15: her cheek. No more of this, Helena, go too, no more,
- 5:50Speaker 15: lest it be rather thought you affect a sorrow than
- 5:53Speaker 15: have it.
- 5:55Speaker 17: I do affect a sorrow, indeed, but I have it too.
- 6:00Speaker 11: Moderate. Lamentation is the right of the dead. Excessive grief
- 6:07Speaker 11: the enemy to the living.
- 6:10Speaker 15: If the living be enemy to the grief, the excess
- 6:14Speaker 15: makes it soon mortal.
- 6:16Speaker 16: Madam, I desire your holy wishes.
- 6:19Speaker 11: How understand wi.
- 6:22Speaker 15: That be thou blest Bertram and succeed thy father in
- 6:27Speaker 15: manners as in shape. Thy blood and virtue contend for
- 6:32Speaker 15: empire in thee, and thy goodness share with thy birthright
- 6:37Speaker 15: love all trust of few, do wrong to none. Be
- 6:42Speaker 15: able for thine enemy rather in power than use, and
- 6:46Speaker 15: keep thy friend under thy own life's kee be check'd
- 6:52Speaker 15: for silence, but never taxed for speech. What heaven more
- 6:57Speaker 15: will that thee may furnish, And my prayer pluck down
- 7:01Speaker 15: fall on thy head. Farewell, my lord tis an unseasoned courtier.
- 7:07Speaker 15: Could my Lord advise him?
- 7:09Speaker 11: He cannot want the best that shall attend his love.
- 7:15Speaker 15: Heaven bless him.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Farewell, Bertram, exit to Helena.
- 7:21Speaker 16: The best wishes that can be forged in your thoughts.
- 7:23Speaker 16: Be servants to you. Be comfortable to my mother or mistress,
- 7:26Speaker 16: and make much of her.
- 7:28Speaker 11: Farewell, pretty lady. You must hold the credit of your.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Father, Excellant Bertram and le feu.
- 7:38Speaker 17: Oh were that all? I think? Not on my father?
- 7:42Speaker 17: And these great tears grace his remembrance more than those
- 7:46Speaker 17: I shed for him?
- 7:48Speaker 1: What was he like?
- 7:50Speaker 17: I have forgot him? My imagination carries no favorite but Bertram's.
- 7:57Speaker 17: I am undone. There is no living none if Bertram
- 8:01Speaker 17: be away. Twere all one that I should love a
- 8:05Speaker 17: bright particular star and think to wed it. He is
- 8:08Speaker 17: so above me in his bright radiance and collateral light.
- 8:13Speaker 17: Must I be comforted? Not in his sphere? The ambition
- 8:18Speaker 17: in my love thus plagues itself. The hind that would
- 8:22Speaker 17: be mated by the lion must die for love twas pretty,
- 8:27Speaker 17: though plague, to see him every hour, to sit and
- 8:31Speaker 17: draw his arched brows, his hawking eye, his curls in
- 8:35Speaker 17: our heart's table, heart too capable of every line and
- 8:40Speaker 17: trick of his sweet favor. But now he's gone, and
- 8:45Speaker 17: my idolatrous fancy must sanctify his reliquies. Who comes here.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Enter perilous aside.
- 8:54Speaker 17: One that goes with him. I love him for his sake,
- 8:59Speaker 17: And yet I know him a notorious liar, think him
- 9:02Speaker 17: a great way fool, solely a coward. Yet these fixed
- 9:07Speaker 17: evils sit so fit in him that they take place.
- 9:11Speaker 17: When virtue, steely bones look bleak at the cold wind
- 9:15Speaker 17: withal full oft, we see cold wisdom waiting on superfluous folly.
- 9:21Speaker 17: Save you, fair queen, and you monarch, No, and no.
- 9:28Speaker 18: Are you meditating on virginity?
- 9:31Speaker 17: I you have some stain of soldier in you. Let
- 9:36Speaker 17: me ask you a question. Man is enemy to virginity?
- 9:41Speaker 17: How may we barricado it against him?
- 9:44Speaker 18: Keep him out?
- 9:45Speaker 17: But he assails, and our virginity, though valiant in the defense,
- 9:50Speaker 17: yet is weak, unfold to us some warlike resistance.
- 9:55Speaker 18: There is none. Man sitting down before you will undermine
- 10:00Speaker 18: you and blow you up.
- 10:03Speaker 17: Bless our poor virginity from under miners and blowers up.
- 10:07Speaker 17: Is there no military policy how virgins might blow up men?
- 10:12Speaker 18: Virginity being blown down, man will quickly be blown up
- 10:16Speaker 18: marian blowing him down again. With the breach yourselves made
- 10:20Speaker 18: you lose your city. It is not politic in the
- 10:24Speaker 18: commonwealth of nature to preserve virginity. A loss of virginity
- 10:29Speaker 18: is rational increase. And there was never virgin got till
- 10:33Speaker 18: virginity was first lost. That you were made of is metal.
- 10:37Speaker 18: To make virgins. Virginity by being once lost, maybe ten
- 10:42Speaker 18: times found, by being ever kept. It is ever lost,
- 10:47Speaker 18: tis too cold a companion. Away with it.
- 10:52Speaker 17: I will stand for to little, though therefore I die
- 10:55Speaker 17: a virgin.
- 10:56Speaker 18: There's little can be said. Ined tis against the rule
- 11:00Speaker 18: of nature. To speak on the part of virginity is
- 11:04Speaker 18: to accuse your mother's, which is most infallible disobedience. He
- 11:11Speaker 18: that hangs himself as a virgin virginity murders itself and
- 11:15Speaker 18: should be buried in highways out of all sanctified limit.
- 11:19Speaker 18: As a desperate offendress against nature, Virginity breeds mites, much
- 11:25Speaker 18: like a cheese consumes itself to the very pairing, and
- 11:29Speaker 18: so dies with feeding his own stomach. Besides, virginity is peevish,
- 11:36Speaker 18: proud idle made of self love, which is the most
- 11:40Speaker 18: inhibited sin in the cannon. Keep it not you cannot choose,
- 11:44Speaker 18: but lose by it out with it within ten Europe
- 11:48Speaker 18: will make it self ten, which is a goodly increase,
- 11:51Speaker 18: and the principle itself not much the worse away with it.
- 11:55Speaker 17: How might one do, sir, to lose it to her
- 11:58Speaker 17: own liking?
- 12:00Speaker 18: Let me see Mary ill to like him that ne'er
- 12:03Speaker 18: it likes tis a commodity, will lose the gloss with lying.
- 12:09Speaker 18: The longer kept, the less worth off with it, while
- 12:13Speaker 18: tis veneable answer the time of request. Virginity, like an
- 12:18Speaker 18: old courtier, wears her cap out of fashion, richly suited
- 12:22Speaker 18: but unsuitable, just like the brooch and the toothpick, which
- 12:26Speaker 18: we're not. Now your date is better in your pie
- 12:30Speaker 18: and your porridge than in your cheek and your virginity.
- 12:34Speaker 18: Your old virginity is like one of our French withered pears.
- 12:38Speaker 18: It looks ill, it eats dryly. Mary tis a withered pair.
- 12:43Speaker 18: It was formerly better, Mary, Yet tis a withered pair?
- 12:47Speaker 18: Will you anything with it?
- 12:49Speaker 17: Not my virginity?
- 12:51Speaker 13: Yet?
- 12:52Speaker 17: There shall your master have a thousand loves, a mother
- 12:55Speaker 17: and a mistress and a friend, a phoenix, captain and
- 12:59Speaker 17: an enemy, a guide, a goddess and a sovereign, a counselor,
- 13:04Speaker 17: a traitress, and a deer. His humble ambition, proud humility,
- 13:09Speaker 17: his jarring concord, and his discord dulcet, his faith, his
- 13:13Speaker 17: sweet disaster, with a world of pretty, fond, adoptious christendoms
- 13:18Speaker 17: that blinking cupid gossips. Now shall he I know not
- 13:24Speaker 17: what he shall? God send him well? The court's a
- 13:28Speaker 17: learning place, and he is one.
- 13:30Speaker 18: What one faith?
- 13:32Speaker 17: That I wish well? Tis pity? What's pity that wishing
- 13:38Speaker 17: well had not a body in which might be felt,
- 13:42Speaker 17: that we the poorer born, whose baser stars do shut
- 13:46Speaker 17: us up in wishes might with effects of them, follow
- 13:49Speaker 17: our friends and show what we alone must think, which
- 13:52Speaker 17: never return us.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Thanks, enter page, Monsieur Parless, my lord colsfieer.
- 14:01Speaker 18: Ah, little Helen, farewell. If I can remember THEE, I
- 14:05Speaker 18: will think of THEE at court.
- 14:07Speaker 17: Monsieur paroles, you were born under a charitable star under Mars.
- 14:11Speaker 17: I I especially think under Mars.
- 14:15Speaker 18: Why under Mars?
- 14:17Speaker 17: The wars have so kept you under that you must
- 14:19Speaker 17: needs be born under Mars when he was predominant, m
- 14:25Speaker 17: when he was retrograde. I think rather, why think you so?
- 14:29Speaker 17: You go so much backward when you fight?
- 14:33Speaker 18: That's for advantage, so.
- 14:36Speaker 17: Is running away when fear proposes the safety. But the
- 14:40Speaker 17: composition that your valor and fear makes in you is
- 14:42Speaker 17: a virtue of a good wing.
- 14:44Speaker 15: And I like the warewell, I am so full of
- 14:48Speaker 15: business I cannot answer THEE acutely.
- 14:51Speaker 18: I will return perfect courtier, in the which my instruction
- 14:56Speaker 18: shall serve to naturalize THEE. So thou wilt be people
- 15:00Speaker 18: of a courtier's counsel and understand what advice shall thrust
- 15:04Speaker 18: upon THEE. Else thou diest in thy unthankfulness and thine
- 15:09Speaker 18: ignorance makes THEE away. Farewell. Now when thou hast leisure,
- 15:15Speaker 18: say thy prayers when thou hast none, remember thy friends,
- 15:20Speaker 18: and get thee a good husband, and use him as
- 15:25Speaker 18: he uses thee. So farewell.
- 15:29Speaker 17: Exit our remedies. Often ourselves do lie, which we ascribe
- 15:35Speaker 17: to heaven. The fated sky gives us free scope. Only
- 15:40Speaker 17: doth backward pull our slow designs when we ourselves are dull.
- 15:45Speaker 17: What power is it which mounts my love so high,
- 15:49Speaker 17: that makes me see and cannot feed mine eye? The
- 15:54Speaker 17: mightiest space in fortune? Nature brings to join like likes
- 15:58Speaker 17: and kiss like native things impossible be strange attempts to
- 16:03Speaker 17: those that weigh their pains and scents, and do suppose
- 16:06Speaker 17: what hath been cannot be? Whoever strove, so show her
- 16:11Speaker 17: merit that it miss her love. The King's disease. My
- 16:17Speaker 17: project may deceive me, but my intents are fixed and
- 16:22Speaker 17: will not leave me.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Exit Scene two, Paris, the King's Palace, flourish of cornets,
- 16:34Speaker 1: enter the King of France with letters and diverse attendants.
- 16:39Speaker 19: The Florentines and Synois are by. The Ears have fought
- 16:43Speaker 19: with equal fortune and continue a braving war.
- 16:46Speaker 7: So tis report it, sir.
- 16:48Speaker 19: Nay tis most credible. We here received it to certainty,
- 16:52Speaker 19: vouched from our cousin Austria, with caution that the Florentine
- 16:56Speaker 19: will move us for speedy aid. Wherein our dearest friend
- 17:00Speaker 19: prejudicates the business and would seem to have us make denial.
- 17:04Speaker 7: His love and wisdom approve, So to your majesty may
- 17:07Speaker 7: plead for amplest credence.
- 17:10Speaker 19: He hath armed our answer, and Florence is denied before
- 17:13Speaker 19: he comes. Yet for our gentlemen that mean to see
- 17:17Speaker 19: the tuscan service freely, have they leave to stand on
- 17:20Speaker 19: either part?
- 17:21Speaker 20: It well may serve a nursery to our gentry who
- 17:24Speaker 20: are sick for breathing an exploit what.
- 17:26Speaker 1: He comes here, enter Bertram le feu and perilis.
- 17:31Speaker 7: It is the Count Rossalon. My good lord, young Bertram, you.
- 17:36Speaker 19: Thou best thy father's face frank nature rather curious than
- 17:41Speaker 19: in haste, hath WelCom posed thee thy father's model parts.
- 17:45Speaker 19: Mayst thou inherit too, Welcome to Paris.
- 17:49Speaker 16: My thanks and duty are your Majesty's ay.
- 17:52Speaker 19: Would I had that corporal soundness now as when thy
- 17:56Speaker 19: father and myself in friendship first tried our soldiership, he
- 18:00Speaker 19: did look far into the service of the time, and
- 18:03Speaker 19: was discipled of the bravest. He lasted long, but on
- 18:07Speaker 19: us both did haggish, age, steal on, and wore us
- 18:10Speaker 19: out of act. It much repairs me to talk of
- 18:14Speaker 19: your good father. In his youth he had the wit
- 18:17Speaker 19: which I can well observe to day in our young lords.
- 18:20Speaker 19: But they may jest till their own scorn return to
- 18:24Speaker 19: them unnoted. Ere they can hide their levity in honor.
- 18:28Speaker 19: So like a courtier, contempt nor bitterness were in his
- 18:32Speaker 19: pride or sharpness, if they were his equal, had awaked them,
- 18:37Speaker 19: and his honor clock to itself, knew the true minute
- 18:41Speaker 19: when exception bid him speak, and at this time his
- 18:44Speaker 19: tongue about his hand. Who were below him he used
- 18:48Speaker 19: as creatures of another place, and bowed his eminent top
- 18:52Speaker 19: to their low ranks, making them proud of his humility.
- 18:56Speaker 19: In their poor praise he humbled. Such a man one
- 19:00Speaker 19: might be a copy to these younger times which followed well,
- 19:03Speaker 19: would demonstrate them now, but goes backward.
- 19:07Speaker 16: His good remembrance, Sir, lies richer in your thoughts than
- 19:10Speaker 16: on his tomb, So in a proof lives not his epitaph,
- 19:15Speaker 16: as in your royal speech.
- 19:17Speaker 19: Would I were with him, he would always say, methinks
- 19:21Speaker 19: I hear him now his plausive words. He scattered not
- 19:25Speaker 19: in ears, but grafted them to grow there and to bear.
- 19:29Speaker 18: Let me not live.
- 19:31Speaker 7: This is good.
- 19:32Speaker 19: Melancholy off began on the catastrophe, and heeled of pastime
- 19:36Speaker 19: when it was out. Let me not live, quoth he,
- 19:40Speaker 19: after my flame lacks oil, to be the snuff of
- 19:42Speaker 19: younger spirits, whose apprehensive senses all but new things disdain,
- 19:47Speaker 19: whose judgments are mere fathers of their garments, whose constances
- 19:52Speaker 19: expire before their fashions. This he wished, I after him,
- 19:57Speaker 19: do after him. Wish to I nor wax nor honey
- 20:02Speaker 19: can bring home. I quickly were dissolved from my hive
- 20:06Speaker 19: to give some laborer's room.
- 20:08Speaker 20: You are loved, sir. They that least lend it you
- 20:11Speaker 20: shall lack you first.
- 20:13Speaker 19: I fill the place. I note our longest count, since
- 20:17Speaker 19: the physician that your father's died.
- 20:20Speaker 16: He was much famed, some six months since my lord.
- 20:25Speaker 19: If he were living, I would try him yet lend
- 20:28Speaker 19: me an arm. The rest have worn me out with
- 20:31Speaker 19: several applications. Nature and sickness debated at their leisure. Welcome count,
- 20:38Speaker 19: my sons.
- 20:39Speaker 10: Now dearer, Thank your majesty excellent flourish Scene three rosilyon
- 20:48Speaker 10: the Count's palace, Enter Countess Steward and clown.
- 20:53Speaker 15: I will now hear what say you of this gentlewoman?
- 20:57Speaker 20: Madam?
- 20:58Speaker 9: The care I have had to even your content I
- 21:00Speaker 9: wish might be found in the calendar of my past endeavors.
- 21:04Speaker 9: For then we wound our modesty and make foul the
- 21:07Speaker 9: clearness of our deservings when of ourselves we publish them.
- 21:11Speaker 15: What does this knave here get you gone? Syrah? The
- 21:15Speaker 15: complaints I have heard of you, I do not all believe.
- 21:19Speaker 15: Tis my slowness that I do not, for I know
- 21:23Speaker 15: you lack not folly to commit them and have ability
- 21:26Speaker 15: enough to make such neighbor as yours.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Tis not unknown to you, Madam. I am a poor fellow, well, sir, No, Madam,
- 21:36Speaker 2: tis not so well that I am poor, though many
- 21:39Speaker 2: of the rich are damned. But if I may have
- 21:43Speaker 2: your Ladyship's good will to go to the world, is
- 21:47Speaker 2: bel the woman and I will do as we may wilt.
- 21:51Speaker 15: Thou needs be a beggar.
- 21:54Speaker 2: I do beg your good will in this case, in
- 21:57Speaker 2: what case, in spell's case and mine own service is
- 22:03Speaker 2: no heritage, and I think I shall never have the
- 22:06Speaker 2: blessing of God till I have issue of my body.
- 22:10Speaker 2: For they say bairns are blessings.
- 22:14Speaker 15: Tell me thy reason why thou art marry my.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Poor body, Madam requires it. I am driven on by
- 22:22Speaker 2: the flesh, and he must needs go that the devil drives.
- 22:27Speaker 15: Is this all your worship's reason.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Faith, Madam? I have other holy reasons, such.
- 22:34Speaker 15: As they are, May the world know them.
- 22:37Speaker 2: I have been, Madam, a wicked creature, as you and
- 22:42Speaker 2: all flesh and blood are, And indeed I do marry
- 22:47Speaker 2: that I may repent.
- 22:49Speaker 15: Thy marriage sooner than thy wickedness.
- 22:53Speaker 2: I am out of friends, Madam, and I hope to
- 22:56Speaker 2: have friends for my wife's sake.
- 23:00Speaker 15: What friends of thine enemies names.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Your shallow, Madam? In great friends for the knaves come
- 23:07Speaker 2: to do that for me, which I am a weary of.
- 23:11Speaker 2: He that ears my land, spares my team, and gives
- 23:16Speaker 2: me leave to in the crop. If I be his cuckled,
- 23:21Speaker 2: he's my drudge. He that comforts my wife is the
- 23:26Speaker 2: cherisher of my flesh and blood. He that cherishes my
- 23:30Speaker 2: flesh and blood loves my flesh and blood. He that
- 23:34Speaker 2: loves my flesh and blood is my friend. Ergo, he
- 23:39Speaker 2: that kisses my wife is my friend. If men could
- 23:43Speaker 2: be contented to be what they are, there were no
- 23:47Speaker 2: fear in marriage. For young Charbond the Puritan, and old
- 23:53Speaker 2: Poison the Papist, how samer, their hearts are severed in religion,
- 23:59Speaker 2: there heads are both won. They made jowl horns together
- 24:05Speaker 2: like any dear in the herd.
- 24:08Speaker 15: Wilt thou ever be a foul mouthed and calumnious knave.
- 24:13Speaker 2: A prophet eye, Madam? And I speak the truth the
- 24:17Speaker 2: next way, for I the ballad will repeat, which men
- 24:21Speaker 2: full true shall find. Your marriage comes by destiny. Your
- 24:27Speaker 2: cuckoo sings, by kind.
- 24:31Speaker 15: Get you gone, Sarah, I'll talk with you more anone met.
- 24:35Speaker 9: Please you, madam, that he bid Helen come to you
- 24:38Speaker 9: of her?
- 24:39Speaker 15: I am to speak, sir, Tell my gentlewoman, I would
- 24:42Speaker 15: speak with her, Helen.
- 24:44Speaker 2: I mean, was this fair face the cause?
- 24:48Speaker 11: Quoth she?
- 24:50Speaker 2: Why the Grecians sacked Troy? Fond done done Fand was
- 24:57Speaker 2: this king Priam's joy?
- 25:00Speaker 7: With that?
- 25:00Speaker 2: She sighed as she stood, with that, she sighed as
- 25:05Speaker 2: she stood, and gave this sentence. Then among nine bad
- 25:11Speaker 2: if one be good among nine bad. If one be good,
- 25:17Speaker 2: there's yet one good in ten?
- 25:20Speaker 15: What one good in ten? You corrupt the song Sarah.
- 25:25Speaker 2: One good woman in ten, madam, which is a purifying
- 25:29Speaker 2: of the song. Would God would serve the world, so
- 25:33Speaker 2: all the year we'll find no fault with the tithe woman.
- 25:38Speaker 2: If I were the parson, one in ten quotha, and
- 25:42Speaker 2: we might have a good woman born, but one every
- 25:45Speaker 2: blazing star, or at an earthquake. Two ad mend the lottery. Well,
- 25:52Speaker 2: a man may draw his heart out air repluck one.
- 25:56Speaker 15: You'll be gone, sir knave, and do as I command you.
- 26:00Speaker 2: That man should be at woman's command. And yet no
- 26:05Speaker 2: hurt done. Though honesty be no puritan, Yet it.
- 26:09Speaker 20: Will do no hurt.
- 26:11Speaker 2: It will wear the surplice of humility over the black
- 26:15Speaker 2: gown of a big heart. I am going forsooth. The
- 26:21Speaker 2: business is for Helen to come hither exit.
- 26:26Speaker 9: Well, now I know, madam, you love your gentlewoman entirely.
- 26:31Speaker 15: Faith I do. Her father bequeathed her to me, and
- 26:36Speaker 15: she herself, without other advantage, may lawfully make title to
- 26:40Speaker 15: as much love as she finds. There is more owing
- 26:44Speaker 15: her than is paid, and more shall be paid her
- 26:48Speaker 15: than she'll demand.
- 26:49Speaker 9: Madam, I was very late, more near her than I
- 26:52Speaker 9: think she wished me alone. She was, and did communicate
- 26:56Speaker 9: to herself her own words, to her own ears. She
- 27:00Speaker 9: thought I dare.
- 27:01Speaker 19: Vow for her.
- 27:01Speaker 9: They touched not any stranger sense. Her matter was. She
- 27:06Speaker 9: loved your son fortune, she said. Was no goddess that
- 27:09Speaker 9: had put such difference betwixt their two estates love, no
- 27:13Speaker 9: god that would not extend his might. Only were qualities
- 27:16Speaker 9: were level, Diane, no queen of virgins that would suffer
- 27:20Speaker 9: her poor knight surprised without rescue in the first assault
- 27:23Speaker 9: or ransom. Afterward, this she delivered in the most bitter
- 27:27Speaker 9: such a sorrow that ere I heard virgin exclaiming, which
- 27:31Speaker 9: I held my duty speedily to acquaint you withal sithens
- 27:35Speaker 9: in the loss that may happen. It concerns you something
- 27:38Speaker 9: to know it.
- 27:39Speaker 15: You have discharged this honestly, keep it to yourself. Many
- 27:45Speaker 15: likelihoods informed me of this before, which hung so tottering
- 27:49Speaker 15: in the balance that I could neither believe nor misdoubt.
- 27:53Speaker 15: Pray you leave me stall this in your bosom, and
- 27:57Speaker 15: I thank you for your honest care. I will speak
- 28:01Speaker 15: with you further.

- 28:15Speaker 15: doth to our rose of youth rightly belong our blood
- 28:19Speaker 15: to us, This to our blood is born. It is
- 28:23Speaker 15: the show and seal of nature's truth, where love's strong
- 28:27Speaker 15: passion is impressed in youth by our remembrances of days foregone.
- 28:34Speaker 15: Such were our faults, or then we thought them none?
- 28:39Speaker 15: Her eye is sickont I observe her? Now?
- 28:43Speaker 17: What is your pleasure? Madam?
- 28:45Speaker 15: You know Helen, I am a mother to you.
- 28:49Speaker 17: Mine, honorable mistress.
- 28:51Speaker 15: Nay a mother? Why nought a mother? When I said
- 28:55Speaker 15: a mother, methought you saw a serpent? What in that
- 29:00Speaker 15: you started it? I say, I am your mother, and
- 29:05Speaker 15: put you in the catalog of those that were in
- 29:08Speaker 15: wounded mine? Tis often seen adoption strives with nature and
- 29:14Speaker 15: choice breeds and natives to us from foreign seeds. You
- 29:19Speaker 15: ne'er oppressed me with a mother's groan. Yet I express
- 29:23Speaker 15: to you a mother's care, God's mercy maiden does occur
- 29:29Speaker 15: thy blood to say I am thy mother? What's the
- 29:32Speaker 15: matter that this distempered messenger of wet the many colored

- 31:28Speaker 15: that in their kind they speak it only sin and
- 31:33Speaker 15: hellish obstinacy tie thy tongue, that truth should be suspected.
- 31:40Speaker 15: Speak ist. So if it be so, you have wound
- 31:44Speaker 15: a goodly clue. If it be not for sweat, howe'er
- 31:50Speaker 15: I charge thee as Heaven shall work in me for
- 31:53Speaker 15: thine avail.

- 32:44Speaker 17: that he is loved of me. I follow him not
- 32:47Speaker 17: by any token of presumptuous suit, nor would I have
- 32:50Speaker 17: him till I do deserve him. Yet never know how
- 32:53Speaker 17: that desert should be. I know I love in vain
- 32:57Speaker 17: strive against hope. Yet in this captious and intenable sieve,
- 33:02Speaker 17: I still pour in the waters of my love and
- 33:04Speaker 17: lack not to lose. Still Thus indian like and religious
- 33:10Speaker 17: in mine error, I adore the sun that looks upon
- 33:13Speaker 17: his worshiper, but knows of him no more. My dearest madam,
- 33:17Speaker 17: Let not your hate encounter with my love for loving
- 33:20Speaker 17: where you do. But if yourself, whose aged honor sights

- 33:27Speaker 17: of liking, wish chastely and love dearly that your dian
- 33:31Speaker 17: was both herself and love, Oh, then give pity to
- 33:36Speaker 17: her whose state is such that cannot choose but lend
- 33:39Speaker 17: and give where she is sure to lose, that seeks
- 33:42Speaker 17: not to find that her search implies, but riddlelike lives
- 33:46Speaker 17: sweetly where she dies.
- 33:48Speaker 15: Ha, Do you not lately an intent speak truly to

- 34:18Speaker 17: to bestow them as notes whose faculties inclusive were more
- 34:21Speaker 17: than they were in note amongst the rest, there is
- 34:24Speaker 17: a remedy approved set down to cure the desperate languishings
- 34:29Speaker 17: whereof the king is rendered lost.

- 35:02Speaker 15: unlearned virgine when the schools, imboweled of their doctrine have
- 35:07Speaker 15: left off the danger to itself.
- 35:10Speaker 17: There's something end more than my father's skill, which was
- 35:13Speaker 17: the greatest of his profession. That his good receipt shall

- 41:14Speaker 11: and make you dance Canary with sprightly fire and motion,
- 41:20Speaker 11: whose simple touch is powerful to a raise King Peppin Nay,
- 41:26Speaker 11: to give great Charlemagne a penn in's hand and write
- 41:31Speaker 11: to her a love line.
- 41:33Speaker 19: What her is this?

- 42:10Speaker 11: is her demand, and know her business that done? Laugh
- 42:16Speaker 11: well at.
- 42:17Speaker 19: Me now, good love. He bring in the admiration that
- 42:22Speaker 19: we with thee may spend our wonder too, or take
- 42:25Speaker 19: off thine by wondering how thou looks?
- 42:28Speaker 11: Did nay, I'll fit you and not be all day
- 42:32Speaker 11: neither exit?
- 42:35Speaker 19: Thus he his special nothing ever prologues re.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Enter a few with Helena.
- 42:42Speaker 19: Nay come your ways, this haste hath wings.
- 42:46Speaker 11: Indeed, nay, come your ways. This is his majesty. Say
- 42:53Speaker 11: your mind to him. A traitor you do look like,
- 42:58Speaker 11: but such traitor his majesty seldom fears. I am Crescid's uncle,
- 43:07Speaker 11: that dare leave two together?
- 43:10Speaker 8: Fare you well?
- 43:13Speaker 19: Exit now fair one does your business follow us.
- 43:19Speaker 17: I my good lord Gerard de Narbonne, was my father
- 43:23Speaker 17: in what he did profess well found I knew him
- 43:28Speaker 17: the rather will I spare my praises towards him. Knowing
- 43:31Speaker 17: him is enough on spreed of death. Many receipts he
- 43:35Speaker 17: gave me, chiefly one which, as the dearest issue of
- 43:39Speaker 17: this practice and of his old experience, the oily darling,
- 43:43Speaker 17: he bade me store up as a triple I safer
- 43:46Speaker 17: than mine own. Two more, Dear, I have so, and
- 43:50Speaker 17: hearing your high Majesty is touched with that malignant cause,
- 43:53Speaker 17: wherein the honor of my dear father's gifts and chief
- 43:57Speaker 17: in power, I come to tender it and my appliance
- 44:00Speaker 17: with all bound humbleness.
- 44:03Speaker 19: We thank you, maiden, But may not be so credulous
- 44:07Speaker 19: of cure. When our most learned doctors leave us, and
- 44:11Speaker 19: the Congregated College have concluded that laboring art can never
- 44:15Speaker 19: ransom nature from her inadable estate. I say we must
- 44:20Speaker 19: not so stain our judgment or corrupt our hope, to
- 44:23Speaker 19: prostitute our past cure malady to empirics, or to dissevers
- 44:28Speaker 19: so our great self and our credit to esteem a
- 44:31Speaker 19: senseless help. When help past sense we deem.
- 44:35Speaker 17: My duty, then shall pay me for my pains. I
- 44:38Speaker 17: will no more enforce mine office on you, humbly entreating
- 44:42Speaker 17: from your royal thoughts a modest one to bear me
- 44:44Speaker 17: back again.

- 53:07Speaker 15: secret to your whipping. You would answer very well to
- 53:10Speaker 15: your whipping if you were but bound to it.
- 53:12Speaker 2: I ne'er had worse luck in my life in my

- 53:36Speaker 15: Again an end, sir to your business. Give Helen this
- 53:42Speaker 15: and urge her to a present answer back. Commend me
- 53:46Speaker 15: to my kinsman and my son. This is not much.
- 53:51Speaker 2: Not much commendation to them.
- 53:54Speaker 15: Not much employment for you. You understand me most fruitfully.
- 54:00Speaker 2: I am there before my legs.
- 54:03Speaker 1: Haste you again, excellent. Severally Scene three, Paris, the King's Palace,
- 54:12Speaker 1: enter bertram Lefeux and Perolis.
- 54:16Speaker 11: They say, miracles are past, and we have our philosophical
- 54:21Speaker 11: persons to make modern and familiar things supernatural and causeless.
- 54:29Speaker 11: Hence it is that we make trifles of terrors, ensconcing
- 54:35Speaker 11: ourselves into seeming knowledge when we should submit ourselves to
- 54:41Speaker 11: an unknown fear.
- 54:43Speaker 18: Why it is the rarest argument of wonder that has
- 54:45Speaker 18: shot out in our latter times.
- 54:48Speaker 11: And so tis to be relinquished of the artists. So
- 54:53Speaker 11: I say, both of Galen and Paracelsus, So I say,

- 55:19Speaker 11: Of an uncertain life and sure death.
- 55:24Speaker 18: Just you say, well, so what I have said, I.
- 55:29Speaker 11: May truly say it is a novelty to the world.
- 55:33Speaker 18: It is. Indeed, if you are having in showing, you
- 55:37Speaker 18: shall read it him. Why what do you call it?
- 55:39Speaker 21: There?
- 55:40Speaker 11: A showing of a heavenly effect in an earthly actor.
- 55:45Speaker 18: That's it. I would have said the very same.
- 55:48Speaker 11: Why your dolphin is not lustier for me? I speak
- 55:54Speaker 11: in respect.
- 55:56Speaker 18: Nate is strange, tis very strange. That is a had
- 56:00Speaker 18: the tenius of it, and he's of a most first
- 56:03Speaker 18: and neariest spirit that will not acknowledge it to be the.
- 56:07Speaker 11: Very hand of heaven. Aye, So I say, in a
- 56:12Speaker 11: most week and depile minister, great power, great transcendence, which
- 56:22Speaker 11: should indeed give us a further use to be made
- 56:26Speaker 11: than alone. The recovery of the king has to be
- 56:32Speaker 11: generally thankful.
- 56:35Speaker 18: I would have said it. You say, well, here comes
- 56:39Speaker 18: the king.
- 56:40Speaker 1: Enter King Helena and attendants, Lafeu and paroles retire lusty cast.
- 56:47Speaker 11: The Dutchman says, how like a maid the better whilst

- 56:58Speaker 11: to lead her a character.
- 57:01Speaker 18: Mondeu Vinegg is not this helen for God?
- 57:05Speaker 11: I think?
- 57:06Speaker 19: So go call before me all the lords in court,
- 57:13Speaker 19: sit my preserver by thy patient's side, and with this
- 57:17Speaker 19: healthful hand, whose banished sense thou hast repeal'd a second time,
- 57:23Speaker 19: receive the confirmation of my promised gift, which but attends
- 57:27Speaker 19: thy naming.
- 57:29Speaker 1: Enter three or four lords.

- 58:55Speaker 17: imperial love, that God most high do my size dream?
- 59:01Speaker 18: Sir?
- 59:01Speaker 7: Will you hear my suit and grant it?
- 59:04Speaker 17: Thanks sir, All the rest is mute.
- 59:09Speaker 11: I had rather been this choice than throw aime's ace
- 59:13Speaker 11: from my life.
- 59:15Speaker 17: The honor, sir, that flames in your fair eyes before
- 59:19Speaker 17: I speak too threateningly, replies, love, make your fortunes twenty
- 59:24Speaker 17: times above her that so wishes, and her.
- 59:26Speaker 20: Humble love no better.
- 59:28Speaker 17: If you please my wish, receive which great love grant,
- 59:32Speaker 17: and so I take my leave.
- 59:35Speaker 11: Do they all deny her? And they were sons of mine,
- 59:40Speaker 11: I'd have them whipped, or I would send them to
- 59:43Speaker 11: the Turk to make e nucks off.
- 59:46Speaker 17: Be not afraid that I your hand should take. I'll
- 59:49Speaker 17: never do you wrong for your own sake. Blessing upon
- 59:52Speaker 17: your vows, and in your bed find fair of fortune.
- 59:56Speaker 17: If you ever wed.
- 59:57Speaker 11: These boys are boys off as they none have her.
- 1:00:02Speaker 11: Sure they are bastards to the English. The French ne'er gottom.
- 1:00:07Speaker 17: You are too young, too happy, and too good to
- 1:00:11Speaker 17: make yourself a son out of my blood.
- 1:00:13Speaker 18: Fair one, I think not.
- 1:00:15Speaker 11: So there's one great yet I am sure thy father
- 1:00:21Speaker 11: drunk wine. But if thou beest not an ass, I
- 1:00:26Speaker 11: am a youth of fourteen, I have known thee already.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: Helena to Bertram.
- 1:00:33Speaker 17: I dare not say I take you, but I give
- 1:00:39Speaker 17: me and my service. Ever, whilst I live into your
- 1:00:43Speaker 17: guiding power, this is the man.
- 1:00:48Speaker 19: Why, then, young Bertram, take her?
- 1:00:51Speaker 11: She's thy wife, my wife, my liege.
- 1:00:55Speaker 16: I shall be seen to your highness in such a business.
- 1:00:58Speaker 16: Give me leave to use the health of my own eye.
- 1:01:00Speaker 19: Knowst Thou, not Bertram, what she has done for me.
- 1:01:04Speaker 16: Yes, my good lord, but never hope to know why
- 1:01:06Speaker 16: I should marry her.
- 1:01:07Speaker 19: Thou Knowst she has raised me from my sickly bed.
- 1:01:10Speaker 16: But follows it, my lord, to bring me down. Must
- 1:01:13Speaker 16: answer for your raising. I know her well. She had
- 1:01:16Speaker 16: her breathing at my father's charge, her poor physician's daughter,
- 1:01:21Speaker 16: my wife disdain rather corrupt me.
- 1:01:23Speaker 19: Ever, tis only title. Thou disdainst in her, the which
- 1:01:28Speaker 19: I can build up. Strange is it that our bloods,
- 1:01:32Speaker 19: of color, weight and heat, poured all together would quite
- 1:01:35Speaker 19: confound distinction, yet stand off in differences. So mighty if
- 1:01:41Speaker 19: she be all that is virtuous, save what thou dislikest
- 1:01:46Speaker 19: a poor physician's daughter. Thou dislikest of virtue for the name,
- 1:01:51Speaker 19: But do not so from lowest place. When virtuous things proceed,
- 1:01:56Speaker 19: the place is dignified by the doer's deed. Where great
- 1:02:01Speaker 19: addition swells and virtue none, it is a drops it
- 1:02:04Speaker 19: honor good alone is good without a name. Vileness is
- 1:02:09Speaker 19: so the property by what it is should go, not
- 1:02:13Speaker 19: by the title. She is young, wise fair in these
- 1:02:18Speaker 19: to nature, she is immediate air, and these breed honor,
- 1:02:23Speaker 19: that is honors scorn, which challenges itself as honors born,
- 1:02:28Speaker 19: and is not like the sire honors thrive when rather
- 1:02:32Speaker 19: from our acts we then derive than our foregoers the
- 1:02:36Speaker 19: mere words a slave deboched on every tomb, on every
- 1:02:39Speaker 19: grave a lying trophy, and as oft is dumb, where
- 1:02:43Speaker 19: dust and damned oblivion is the tomb of honored bones. Indeed,
- 1:02:48Speaker 19: what should be said if thou canst like this creature
- 1:02:52Speaker 19: as a maid, I can create the rest virtue, and
- 1:02:56Speaker 19: she is her own dower, honor and wealth from me.
- 1:03:01Speaker 16: I cannot love her, nor will strive to do it.
- 1:03:04Speaker 19: Thou wrong'st thyself. If thou should strive to choose.
- 1:03:09Speaker 17: That you are well restor'd, my lord, I am glad.
- 1:03:12Speaker 17: Let the rest go.
- 1:03:14Speaker 19: My honor's at the stake which to defeat I must
- 1:03:18Speaker 19: produce my power. Here take her hand, proud, scornful boy,
- 1:03:24Speaker 19: unworthy this good gift that doth in vile miss prison.
- 1:03:28Speaker 19: Shackle up my love and her dessert, that canst not
- 1:03:32Speaker 19: dream we poising us in her defective scale, shall weigh
- 1:03:38Speaker 19: thee to the beam that wilt not know it is
- 1:03:40Speaker 19: in us to plant thine honor where we please to
- 1:03:44Speaker 19: have it grow. Check thy contempt, abey our will which
- 1:03:48Speaker 19: travails in thy good. Believe not thy disdain, but presently
- 1:03:53Speaker 19: do thine own fortunes that obedient right, which both thy
- 1:03:57Speaker 19: duty owes and our power claims. Or I will throw
- 1:04:01Speaker 19: THEE from my care for ever into the staggers and
- 1:04:04Speaker 19: the careless lapse of youth and ignorance. Both my revenge
- 1:04:08Speaker 19: and hate loosing upon thee in the name of justice,
- 1:04:11Speaker 19: without all terms of pity, speak thine answer.
- 1:04:18Speaker 16: Pardon, my gracious Lord, for I submit my fancy to
- 1:04:23Speaker 16: your eyes. When I consider what great creation and what
- 1:04:27Speaker 16: dole of honor flies where you bid it, I find
- 1:04:30Speaker 16: that she which late was in my nobler thought's most base,
- 1:04:34Speaker 16: is now the praise it of the King, who so
- 1:04:38Speaker 16: ennobled is as twere born.
- 1:04:41Speaker 19: So take her by the hand and tell her she
- 1:04:45Speaker 19: is thine whom I promise a counterpoise, if not to
- 1:04:49Speaker 19: thy estate a balance more refleete.
- 1:04:52Speaker 16: I take her hand.
- 1:04:54Speaker 19: Good fortune and the favor of the King. Smile upon
- 1:04:57Speaker 19: this contract. Who ceremony shall seem expedient on the now
- 1:05:02Speaker 19: born brief and be perform'd to night the solemn feast
- 1:05:07Speaker 19: shall more attend upon the coming space, expecting absent friends,
- 1:05:12Speaker 19: as thou lovest her thy loves to me religious else does.
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: Her excellent all but lea few and perolis advancing.
- 1:05:23Speaker 11: Do you hear, monsieur a word.
- 1:05:25Speaker 18: With you your pleasure.
- 1:05:27Speaker 11: Son, your lord and master did well to make his recantation.
- 1:05:35Speaker 18: A recantation, my lord, my master, ih.
- 1:05:41Speaker 11: Is it not a language I speak.
- 1:05:45Speaker 18: A most harsh one? And not to be understood with
- 1:05:48Speaker 18: her bloody succeeding my master?
- 1:05:52Speaker 11: Are you companion to the count Resilian.
- 1:05:56Speaker 18: To any count, to all counts, to what is men.
- 1:06:00Speaker 11: To what is count's man? Count's master is of another style?
- 1:06:06Speaker 18: You are too old, sir. Let it satisfy you. You
- 1:06:10Speaker 18: are too old.
- 1:06:13Speaker 11: I must tell THEE, syrah, I right man, to which
- 1:06:18Speaker 11: title age cannot bring THEE?
- 1:06:21Speaker 18: What I dare too well? Do I dare not do?
- 1:06:26Speaker 11: I did think THEE for two ordinaries to be a
- 1:06:30Speaker 11: pretty wise fellow. Thou didst make tolerable vent of thy travel?
- 1:06:36Speaker 11: It might pass. Yet the scarfs and the bannerets about
- 1:06:42Speaker 11: THEE did manifoldly dissuade me from believing THEE a vessel
- 1:06:47Speaker 11: of too great a burthen. I have now found THEE.
- 1:06:53Speaker 11: When I lose THEE again, I care not yet art
- 1:06:57Speaker 11: thou good for nothing but taking up and that thou'rt
- 1:07:02Speaker 11: scarce worth.
- 1:07:04Speaker 18: Hadst thou not the privilege of antiquity upon me.
- 1:07:08Speaker 11: Do not plunge thyself too far in anger, lest thou
- 1:07:12Speaker 11: hasten thy trial, which if lord have mascy on THEE
- 1:07:17Speaker 11: for a hen. So my good window of lattice fare THEE. Well,
- 1:07:24Speaker 11: thy casement I need not open, for I look through THEE.
- 1:07:32Speaker 18: Give me thy hand, my Lord, you give me the
- 1:07:35Speaker 18: most egregious indignity I.
- 1:07:38Speaker 11: With all my heart, and thou art worthy of it.
- 1:07:42Speaker 18: I have not, my Lord deserved it.
- 1:07:45Speaker 11: Yes, good faith, every drama of it. And I will
- 1:07:50Speaker 11: not bait THEE a scruple.
- 1:07:52Speaker 18: Well, I shall be wiser.
- 1:07:56Speaker 11: Even as soon as thou canst for thou hast to
- 1:08:00Speaker 11: pull at a smack of the contrary. If ever thou
- 1:08:04Speaker 11: be'st bound in thy scarf and beaten, thou shalt find
- 1:08:09Speaker 11: what it is to be proud of thy bondage. I
- 1:08:14Speaker 11: have a desire to hold my acquaintance with THEE, or
- 1:08:19Speaker 11: rather my knowledge that I may say in the default
- 1:08:23Speaker 11: he is a man. I know, my.
- 1:08:27Speaker 18: Lord, you do me most insupportable vexation.
- 1:08:31Speaker 11: I would it were hell pains for thy sake, and
- 1:08:34Speaker 11: my poor doing eternal for doing. I am past as
- 1:08:41Speaker 11: I will by THEE in what motion age will give
- 1:08:46Speaker 11: me leave exit.
- 1:08:49Speaker 18: Well, thou hast the son shall take this disgrace off me. Scurvy, old,
- 1:08:56Speaker 18: filthy scurvy. Lord, Well, I must be patient. There is
- 1:09:04Speaker 18: no fettering of authority. I'll beat him by my life
- 1:09:08Speaker 18: if I can meet him with any convenience, any word,
- 1:09:12Speaker 18: double and double, Lord, I have no more pity of
- 1:09:14Speaker 18: his age than if I would have. I'll beat him,
- 1:09:18Speaker 18: and if I could but meet him again, re enter
- 1:09:21Speaker 18: a few Sarah.

- 1:09:31Speaker 18: I most unfeignedly beseech your lordship to make some reservation
- 1:09:35Speaker 18: of your wrongs. He is my good lord, whom I
- 1:09:40Speaker 18: serve above is my master?
- 1:09:42Speaker 11: Who God, I sir, the devil it is, that's thy master.
- 1:09:50Speaker 11: Why dost thou garter up thy arms? And this fashion
- 1:09:55Speaker 11: dost make hose of sleeves? Do others pervant? So thou
- 1:10:02Speaker 11: wert best set thy lower part where thy nose stands
- 1:10:08Speaker 11: by mine honor. If I were but two hours younger,
- 1:10:12Speaker 11: I beat thee. Methinks thou art a general offense, and
- 1:10:17Speaker 11: every man should beat thee. I think thou wist created
- 1:10:22Speaker 11: for men to breathe themselves upon thee.
- 1:10:26Speaker 18: That is hard an undeserved measure, My lord.
- 1:10:29Speaker 11: Go too, sir. You were beaten in Italy for picking
- 1:10:34Speaker 11: a colonel out of a pomegranite. You are a vagabond
- 1:10:39Speaker 11: and no true traveler. You are more saucy with lords
- 1:10:44Speaker 11: and honorable personages than the commission of your birth and
- 1:10:48Speaker 11: virtue gives you heraldry. You are not worth another word,
- 1:10:54Speaker 11: else I'd call you knave.
- 1:10:56Speaker 7: I leave you.
- 1:10:58Speaker 18: Exit, good, very good. It is so, then, good, very good.

- 1:12:12Speaker 16: I am fled right to the King that which I
- 1:12:15Speaker 16: durst not speak. His present gift shall furnish me to
- 1:12:19Speaker 16: those Italian fields where noble fellows strike. War is no
- 1:12:25Speaker 16: strife to the dark house and the detested wife.
- 1:12:30Speaker 18: Will this couprit your hole in me?
- 1:12:32Speaker 16: I'd sure go with me to my chamber and advise me.
- 1:12:35Speaker 16: I'll send her straight away tomorrow, I'll to the wars,
- 1:12:39Speaker 16: she to her single sorrow.
- 1:12:42Speaker 18: Why these balls bound, there's noise in it? Tis hard.
- 1:12:48Speaker 18: A young man married is a man that's marred. Therefore
- 1:12:52Speaker 18: away and leave her, bravely go. The king has done
- 1:12:56Speaker 18: you wrong, But hush tis soul.
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: Excellent Scene four Paris, the King's Palace, and to Helena
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: and clown.
- 1:13:07Speaker 17: My mother greets me kindly. Is she well?
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: She is not well? But yet she has her health.
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: She's very merry, but yet she is not well. But
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: thanks be given. She's very well and wants nothing in
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: the world, But yet she is not well.
- 1:13:30Speaker 17: If she be very well, what does she ail that
- 1:13:33Speaker 17: she's not very well?
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: Truly, she's very well indeed, but for two things.
- 1:13:41Speaker 17: What two things?
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: One that she's not in heaven, whither God send her quickly?
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: The other that she's in earth. From whence God send
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: her quickly?
- 1:13:55Speaker 18: Enter perilous Bless you, my fortunate lady.
- 1:13:59Speaker 17: I hope so I have your good will to have
- 1:14:01Speaker 17: mine own good fortunes.
- 1:14:03Speaker 18: You had my prayers to lead them on and to
- 1:14:06Speaker 18: keep them on. Have them still? Oh, my nave, how
- 1:14:10Speaker 18: does my old lady?
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: So that you had her wrinkles and I her money?
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: I would she did as you say?
- 1:14:20Speaker 20: Why I say nothing, Mary, you are.
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: The wiser man. For many a man's tongue shakes out
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: his master's undoing. To say nothing, to do nothing, to
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: know nothing, and to have nothing is to be a
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: great part of your title, which is within a very
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: little of nothing.
- 1:14:44Speaker 18: Oh way, thou art a nave.
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: You should have said, sir, before a knave. Thou art
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: a knave. That's before me, thou art a knave. This

- 1:14:58Speaker 18: Go to thou art, witty fool, I have found thee.
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: Did you find me in yourself, sir? Or were you
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: taught to find me? The search, sir, was profitable and
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: much fool may you find in you even to the
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: world's pleasure hand the increase of laughter.
- 1:15:20Speaker 18: A good, knavy, faith and well fed Madam, my lord
- 1:15:24Speaker 18: will go away tonight. A very serious business calls on
- 1:15:28Speaker 18: him the great prerogative and right of love, which, as
- 1:15:32Speaker 18: your due time claims he does acknowledge, but puts it
- 1:15:36Speaker 18: off to a compelled restraint, whose want and whose delays
- 1:15:42Speaker 18: strewed with sweets, which they distill now in the curbed time,
- 1:15:46Speaker 18: to make the coming hour or flow with joy and
- 1:15:50Speaker 18: pleasure down the brim.
- 1:15:52Speaker 17: What's his will?
- 1:15:53Speaker 18: Else, that you will take your instant leave of the
- 1:15:56Speaker 18: king and make this haste as your own good proceeding
- 1:16:00Speaker 18: strengthened with what apology you think may make it probable need?
- 1:16:04Speaker 17: What more commands he.
- 1:16:06Speaker 18: That, having this obtained, you presently attend his further pleasure
- 1:16:11Speaker 18: in everything.
- 1:16:11Speaker 17: I wait upon his will, I.
- 1:16:14Speaker 18: Shall report it.
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: So I pray you exit, Perilus, come Syrah. Excellent Scene
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: five Paris, the King's Palace, entel a few and Bertram.
- 1:16:28Speaker 11: But I hope your lordship thinks not him A soldier.
- 1:16:34Speaker 16: Yes, my lord, and a very valiant approof you have
- 1:16:37Speaker 16: it from his own deliverance and by other warranted testimony.
- 1:16:42Speaker 11: Then my dial goes not true. I took this lark
- 1:16:48Speaker 11: for a bunting.
- 1:16:50Speaker 16: I do assure you, my lord, he is very great
- 1:16:52Speaker 16: in knowledge and accordingly valiant.
- 1:16:55Speaker 11: I have then sinned against his experience and trans gressed
- 1:17:00Speaker 11: against his valor, and my state that way is dangerous,
- 1:17:06Speaker 11: since I cannot yet find in my heart to repent.
- 1:17:12Speaker 11: Here he comes, I pray you make us friends. I
- 1:17:16Speaker 11: will pursue the amity.
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: Enter Parolys to Bertram.
- 1:17:21Speaker 18: These things shall be done, sir, pray you, sir.
- 1:17:25Speaker 11: Who's his tailor?
- 1:17:27Speaker 16: Sir?
- 1:17:28Speaker 11: Oh, I know him well, I sir, he says, a
- 1:17:33Speaker 11: good workman, a very good tailor.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: Aside to Parolys.
- 1:17:39Speaker 16: Is he gone to the king?
- 1:17:40Speaker 15: She is?
- 1:17:41Speaker 16: Will she away tonight as you'll have her. I have
- 1:17:44Speaker 16: written my letters, casketed my treasure, given order for our horses,
- 1:17:48Speaker 16: and tonight when I should take possession of the bride,
- 1:17:53Speaker 16: and ere I do begin.
- 1:17:56Speaker 11: A good traveler is something at the latter of a dinner,
- 1:18:01Speaker 11: but one that lies three thirds and uses a known
- 1:18:06Speaker 11: truth to pass a thousand nothings with should be once
- 1:18:11Speaker 11: heard and thrice beaten. God save you, captain.
- 1:18:17Speaker 16: Is there any unkindness between my lord and you.
- 1:18:20Speaker 18: Monsieur, I know not how I have deserved to run
- 1:18:23Speaker 18: into my lord's displeasure.
- 1:18:25Speaker 11: You have made shift to run into it, boots and
- 1:18:29Speaker 11: spurs and all like him that leapt into the custard,
- 1:18:33Speaker 11: and out of it. You'll run again rather than suffer
- 1:18:38Speaker 11: question for your residence.
- 1:18:41Speaker 16: It may be you have mistaken him, my lord, and
- 1:18:44Speaker 16: shall do so ever, though I took him at his prayers.
- 1:18:49Speaker 11: Fare you well, my lord, and believe this of me.
- 1:18:54Speaker 11: There can be no klonel in this light nut. The
- 1:19:00Speaker 11: soul of this man is his clothes. Trust him not
- 1:19:05Speaker 11: in matter of heavy consequence. I have kept of them
- 1:19:10Speaker 11: tame and know their natures. Farewell, monsieur. I have spoken
- 1:19:18Speaker 11: better of you than you have or will to deserve
- 1:19:22Speaker 11: at my hand. But we must do good against evil.
- 1:19:29Speaker 18: Exit an idle lord, I swear.
- 1:19:34Speaker 16: I think not.
- 1:19:35Speaker 18: So why do you not know him?
- 1:19:37Speaker 7: Yes?
- 1:19:37Speaker 16: I do know him well, and common speech gives him
- 1:19:40Speaker 16: a worthy pass.
- 1:19:42Speaker 10: Here comes my clog enter, Helena.
- 1:19:45Speaker 17: I have, sir, as I was commanded from you, spoke
- 1:19:48Speaker 17: with the King, and have procured his leave for present parting.
- 1:19:52Speaker 17: Only he desires some private speech with you, I.
- 1:19:55Speaker 16: Shall obey his will. You must not marvel helen my course,
- 1:20:00Speaker 16: which holds not color with the time, nor does the
- 1:20:03Speaker 16: ministration and required office on my particular prepared. I was
- 1:20:09Speaker 16: not for such a business. Therefore am I found so
- 1:20:11Speaker 16: much unsettled. This drives me to entreat you that presently
- 1:20:16Speaker 16: you take your way for home, and rather muse than
- 1:20:20Speaker 16: ask why I entreat you. For my respects are better
- 1:20:22Speaker 16: than they seem, and my appointments having them a need
- 1:20:26Speaker 16: greater than shows itself at the first view to you
- 1:20:28Speaker 16: that know them, not this to my mother giving a letter.
- 1:20:32Speaker 16: It will be two days ere I shall see you.
- 1:20:34Speaker 16: So I leave you to your wisdom.
- 1:20:36Speaker 17: Sir, I can nothing say but that I am your
- 1:20:39Speaker 17: most obedient servant.
- 1:20:41Speaker 16: Come come no more of that, and.
- 1:20:43Speaker 17: Ever shall with true observance seek to eke out that
- 1:20:46Speaker 17: wherein toward me my homely stars have failed to equal
- 1:20:50Speaker 17: my great fortune.
- 1:20:52Speaker 16: Let that go. My haste is very great.
- 1:20:55Speaker 17: Farewell high home, pray sir your pardon?
- 1:21:00Speaker 16: Well, what would you say?
- 1:21:02Speaker 17: I am not worthy of the wealth I owe, nor
- 1:21:06Speaker 17: dare I say tis mine? And yet it is but
- 1:21:09Speaker 17: like a timorous thief most vain would steal. What law
- 1:21:13Speaker 17: does vouch mine own.
- 1:21:14Speaker 16: What would you have?
- 1:21:16Speaker 17: Something scarce, so much nothing? Indeed, I would not tell
- 1:21:23Speaker 17: you what I would, my lord. Faith Yes, strangers and
- 1:21:29Speaker 17: foes do sunder and not kiss.
- 1:21:32Speaker 16: I pray you stay not but haste to horse.
- 1:21:36Speaker 17: I shall not break your bidding.
- 1:21:37Speaker 16: Good my Lord, where are my other men?
- 1:21:39Speaker 10: Monsieur farewell, exit Helena.
- 1:21:43Speaker 16: Go thou toward home where I well never come whilst
- 1:21:46Speaker 16: I can shake my sword or hear the drum, away
- 1:21:51Speaker 16: and for our flight bravely.

- 1:22:38Speaker 5: Of soldiers, so that from point to point now have
- 1:22:42Speaker 5: you heard the fundamental reasons of this war? Whose great
- 1:22:45Speaker 5: decision hath much blood let forth and more thirsts after.
- 1:22:49Speaker 7: Holly seems the quarrel upon your gracest part black and
- 1:22:53Speaker 7: fearful on the opposer.
- 1:22:55Speaker 5: Therefore we marvel much. Our cousin France would, in so
- 1:22:59Speaker 5: just a business, shut his bosom against our borrowing prayers.
- 1:23:03Speaker 20: Good, my lord, the reasons of our state I cannot yield,
- 1:23:06Speaker 20: but like a common and an outward man, that the
- 1:23:09Speaker 20: great figure of a council frames by self enable motion. Therefore,
- 1:23:13Speaker 20: dare not say what I think of it, since I
- 1:23:16Speaker 20: have found myself, in my incertain grounds to fail as
- 1:23:19Speaker 20: often as I guessed, be.
- 1:23:20Speaker 7: It his pleasure. But I am sure the younger of
- 1:23:23Speaker 7: our nature that surfeit on their ease, will day by

- 1:23:54Speaker 15: save that he comes not along with her.
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: By my troth, I take my young lord to be
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: a very melancholy man.
- 1:24:03Speaker 15: By what observants, I pray you.
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: Why he will look upon his boot and sing men
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: the roof and sing, ask questions and sing, pick his
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: teeth and sing. I know a man that had this
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: trick of melancholy, sold a goodly manner for a song.
- 1:24:25Speaker 15: Let me see what he writes, and when he means
- 1:24:27Speaker 15: to come opening a letter.
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: I have no mind to isbel since I was at court.
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: Our old ling and our Isabel's of the country are
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: nothing like your old ling and your isabel's are the court.
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: The brains of my cupids knocked out, and I begin
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: to love as an old man loves money with no stomach.
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: What have we here mean that you have there?
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: Exit, Countess needs I have sent you a daughter in law.
- 1:25:05Speaker 15: She hath recovered the king and undone me. I have
- 1:25:10Speaker 15: wedded her, not bedd at her, and sworn to make
- 1:25:15Speaker 15: the not eternal. You shall hear. I am run away,
- 1:25:21Speaker 15: know it before the report come. If there be breadth
- 1:25:25Speaker 15: enough in the world, I will hold a long distance
- 1:25:29Speaker 15: my duty to you, your unfortunate son Bertran, This is
- 1:25:36Speaker 15: not well, rash and unbridled boy, to fly the favors
- 1:25:40Speaker 15: of so good a king, to pluck his indignation on
- 1:25:44Speaker 15: thy head by the misprising of a maid too virtuous
- 1:25:48Speaker 15: for the contempt of empire re.
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: Enter clown, oh, madam, yonder is heavy news within between
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: two soldiers and my young lady.

- 1:26:02Speaker 2: Nay, there is some comfort in the news, some comfort.
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: Your son will not be killed so soon as I
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: thought he would.
- 1:26:11Speaker 11: Why should he be killed.
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: So say I, madam. If he run away, as I
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: hear he does, the danger is in standing to it.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: That's the loss of men, though it be the getting
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: of children. Here they come will tell you more. For
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: my part, I only hear your son was run away.
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: Exit, Enter Helena, and two gentlemen.
- 1:26:38Speaker 6: Save you, good madam.
- 1:26:40Speaker 17: Madam, My lord is gone, forever gone.
- 1:26:44Speaker 15: Do not say so think upon patience, pray you, gentlemen.
- 1:26:48Speaker 15: I have felt so many quirks of joy and grief
- 1:26:52Speaker 15: that the first face of neither on the start can
- 1:26:55Speaker 15: woman me unto it? Where is my son?
- 1:26:58Speaker 13: I pray you, madam, gone to serve the Duke of Florence.
- 1:27:02Speaker 13: We met him thitherwood, for thence we came, and after
- 1:27:05Speaker 13: some dispatch in hand at court, thither we bend again.
- 1:27:09Speaker 17: Look on his letter, Madam, here's my passport reads. When
- 1:27:14Speaker 17: thou canst get the ring upon my finger which never
- 1:27:17Speaker 17: shall come off? And show me a child begotten of
- 1:27:20Speaker 17: thy body, that I am father to, then call me husband.
- 1:27:24Speaker 17: But in such a then I write a never. This
- 1:27:28Speaker 17: is a dreadful sentence.
- 1:27:31Speaker 15: Brought you this letter.
- 1:27:32Speaker 6: Gentlemen, I madam, and for the content's sake, are sorry
- 1:27:36Speaker 6: for our pain.
- 1:27:37Speaker 15: I prithee, lady, have a better cheer. If thou engrossest
- 1:27:42Speaker 15: all the griefs sa thine, and thou robb'st me of
- 1:27:45Speaker 15: a moiety. He was my son, but I do WoT
- 1:27:49Speaker 15: his name out of my blood, and thou art all
- 1:27:52Speaker 15: my child towards Florence, says he, I, madam, and to
- 1:27:58Speaker 15: be a soldier, such.
- 1:28:00Speaker 13: Is his noble purpose, and believed that Duke will lay
- 1:28:03Speaker 13: upon him all the honor that good convenience claims.
- 1:28:07Speaker 6: Return you dither, I madam, with the swiftest wing of speed, reads.
- 1:28:13Speaker 17: Till I have no wife. I have nothing in France.
- 1:28:17Speaker 17: Tis bitter find you that there, I, madam.
- 1:28:22Speaker 6: Tis but the baldness of his hand haply which his
- 1:28:25Speaker 6: heart was not consenting.
- 1:28:27Speaker 15: To nothing in France until he have no wife. There's
- 1:28:32Speaker 15: nothing here that is too good for him, but only she,
- 1:28:36Speaker 15: and she deserves a lord that twenty such rude boys
- 1:28:40Speaker 15: might tend upon and call her hourly mistress, who was
- 1:28:44Speaker 15: with him.
- 1:28:45Speaker 6: A servant only and a gentleman, which I have sometimes
- 1:28:49Speaker 6: known howrolis, Was it not I, my good lady?
- 1:28:53Speaker 15: He a very tainted fellow and full of wickedness. My
- 1:28:59Speaker 15: son care but so well derived nature with his inducement.
- 1:29:05Speaker 6: Indeed, good Lady, the fellow has a deal of that
- 1:29:07Speaker 6: too much, which holds him much to have.
- 1:29:10Speaker 15: You're welcome, gentlemen. I will entreat you, when you see
- 1:29:15Speaker 15: my son, to tell him that his sword can never
- 1:29:18Speaker 15: win the honor that he loses.
- 1:29:21Speaker 7: More.
- 1:29:22Speaker 15: I'll entreat you written to bear along.
- 1:29:25Speaker 13: We serve you, Madam, in that and all your worthiest affairs.
- 1:29:30Speaker 15: Not so, but as we change our courtesies, will you draw.
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: Near exant, Countess and gentlemen, till.
- 1:29:39Speaker 17: I have no wife, I have nothing in France, nothing
- 1:29:43Speaker 17: in France. Until he have no wife, thou shalt have
- 1:29:47Speaker 17: none Rossilian, none in France. Then hast thou all again,
- 1:29:54Speaker 17: poor lordst I that chase thee from thy country and
- 1:29:58Speaker 17: expose those tender limbs of thine to the event of
- 1:30:01Speaker 17: the nun sparing war. And is it I that drive
- 1:30:05Speaker 17: thee from the sport of court, where thou wast shot
- 1:30:08Speaker 17: at with fair eyes to be the mark of smoky muskets. Oh,
- 1:30:13Speaker 17: you leaden messengers that ride upon the violent speed of fire,
- 1:30:17Speaker 17: fly with false aim, move the still peering air that
- 1:30:21Speaker 17: sings with piercing Do not touch my lord. Who ever
- 1:30:26Speaker 17: shoots at him. I set him there, whoever charges on
- 1:30:30Speaker 17: his forward breast. I am the catiff that do hold
- 1:30:33Speaker 17: him to it. And though I kill him, not, I
- 1:30:36Speaker 17: am the cause his death was so affected. Better twere
- 1:30:39Speaker 17: I met the raven lion, when he roared with sharp
- 1:30:42Speaker 17: constraint of hunger. Better twere that all the miseries which
- 1:30:46Speaker 17: nature owes were mine at once. No, come thou home, resilien.
- 1:30:52Speaker 17: Whence honor, but of danger winds a scar as oft
- 1:30:55Speaker 17: it loses all. I will be gone, my being here
- 1:31:00Speaker 17: that holds thee. Hence shall I stay here to do it? No? No,
- 1:31:06Speaker 17: although the Heir of Paradise did fan the house and
- 1:31:08Speaker 17: angels officed all, I will be gone. That pitiful rumor
- 1:31:12Speaker 17: may report my flight to consolate thine ear come night,
- 1:31:17Speaker 17: end day, For with the dark, poor thief, I'll steal away.
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: Exit Scene three, Florence, before the Duke's Palace flourish. Enter
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: the Duke of Florence, Bertram Perollis, soldiers, drum and trumpets.
- 1:31:38Speaker 5: The general of our horse, thou art, and we, great
- 1:31:41Speaker 5: in our hope, lay our best love and credence upon
- 1:31:44Speaker 5: thy promising fortune.
- 1:31:46Speaker 16: Sir. It is as charge too heavy for my strength,
- 1:31:50Speaker 16: but yet we all strive to bear it for your
- 1:31:53Speaker 16: worthy sake, to the extreme edge of hazard.
- 1:31:57Speaker 5: Then go thou forth, and fortune play upon thee prosperous helm,
- 1:32:01Speaker 5: as thy auspicious mistress.
- 1:32:04Speaker 16: This very day, Great Mars, I put myself into thy file.
- 1:32:09Speaker 16: Make me but like my thoughts, and I shall prove
- 1:32:12Speaker 16: a lover of thy drum hater of love.
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: Excellent Scene four Rossillon the Count's palace, Enter, Countess and steward.
- 1:32:26Speaker 15: Alas, and would you take the letter of her might
- 1:32:30Speaker 15: you not know she would do as she has done
- 1:32:33Speaker 15: by standing me a letter? Read it again.
- 1:32:38Speaker 9: Reads, I am Saint Jock's pilgrim, thither gone ambitious love
- 1:32:43Speaker 9: hath so and me offended that barefoot plod I the
- 1:32:46Speaker 9: cold ground upon with sainted vow my faults to have amended.
- 1:32:51Speaker 9: Write write that from the bloody course of war, my
- 1:32:54Speaker 9: dearest master, your dear son, may hi bless him at
- 1:32:58Speaker 9: home in peace, whilst I, from far his name with
- 1:33:01Speaker 9: zealous fervor, sanctify his taken labors. Bid him me forgive
- 1:33:07Speaker 9: I his despiteful Juno sent him forth from courtly friends
- 1:33:11Speaker 9: with camping foes, to live where death and danger dogs
- 1:33:15Speaker 9: the heels of worth. He is too good and fair
- 1:33:18Speaker 9: for death and me whom I myself embrace to set
- 1:33:22Speaker 9: him free.
- 1:33:23Speaker 15: A what sharp stings are in her mildest words, Rinaldo,
- 1:33:30Speaker 15: You did never lack advice so much as letting her past.
- 1:33:34Speaker 15: So had I spoke with her, I could have well
- 1:33:38Speaker 15: diverted her intents. Which does she have prevented?
- 1:33:43Speaker 9: Pardon me, madam? If I had given you this at overnight,
- 1:33:47Speaker 9: she might have been o'ertain. And yet she writes, pursuit
- 1:33:51Speaker 9: would be but vain.
- 1:33:53Speaker 15: What angel shall bless this unworthy husband. He cannot thrive
- 1:33:59Speaker 15: unless her prayers, whom Heaven delights to hear and loves
- 1:34:03Speaker 15: to grant, reprieve him from the wrath of greatest justice. Rite, write, Rinaldo,
- 1:34:10Speaker 15: to this unworthy husband of his wife. Let every word
- 1:34:16Speaker 15: weigh heavy of her worth that he does weigh too light.
- 1:34:21Speaker 15: My greatest grief, though little he do feel it. Set
- 1:34:25Speaker 15: down sharply, dispatch the most convenient messenger. When haply he
- 1:34:31Speaker 15: shall hear that she is gone, he will return, And
- 1:34:34Speaker 15: hope I may that she, hearing so much, will speed
- 1:34:37Speaker 15: her foot again, led hither by pure love, Which of
- 1:34:42Speaker 15: them both is dearest to me? I have no skill
- 1:34:45Speaker 15: in sense to make distinction. Provide this messenger. My heart
- 1:34:52Speaker 15: is heavy and mine age is weak. Grief would have tears,
- 1:34:57Speaker 15: and sorrow bids me speak.
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: Except Scene five, Florence without the walls, A Tucket afar off,
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: enter an old widow of Florence, Diana, Violenta and Marienna
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: with other citizens.
- 1:35:16Speaker 14: Nay, come, for if they do approach the city, we
- 1:35:19Speaker 14: shall lose all the sight.
- 1:35:21Speaker 4: They say. The French count has done most honorable service.
- 1:35:25Speaker 14: Is reported that he has taken their greatest commander, and
- 1:35:28Speaker 14: that with his own hand he slew the Duke's brother Tucket.
- 1:35:33Speaker 14: We have lost our labor. They are gone a contrary way.
- 1:35:36Speaker 14: Hark you may know by their trumpets.
- 1:35:39Speaker 12: Come, let's return again and suffice ourselves with the report
- 1:35:43Speaker 12: of it. Well, Diana, take heed of this French earl.
- 1:35:48Speaker 12: The honor of a maid is her name, and no
- 1:35:50Speaker 12: legacy is so rich as honesty.
- 1:35:53Speaker 14: I have told my neighbor how you have been solicited
- 1:35:56Speaker 14: by a gentleman his companion.
- 1:35:58Speaker 12: I know that knave hang him one parole's a filthy officer.
- 1:36:03Speaker 12: He is in those suggestions for the young earl. Beware
- 1:36:07Speaker 12: of them, Diana. Their promises, enticements, oaths, tokens, and all
- 1:36:11Speaker 12: these engines of lust are not the thing they go under.
- 1:36:15Speaker 12: Many a maid hath been seduced by them, and the
- 1:36:18Speaker 12: misery is example that so terrible shows in the wreck
- 1:36:22Speaker 12: of maidenhood. Cannot for all that dissway succession, but that
- 1:36:26Speaker 12: they are lined with the twigs that threaten them. I
- 1:36:29Speaker 12: hope I need not to advise you further, but I
- 1:36:32Speaker 12: hope your own grace will keep you where you are.
- 1:36:34Speaker 12: Though there were no further danger known, but the modesty
- 1:36:37Speaker 12: which is lost.
- 1:36:38Speaker 4: You shall not need to fear me.
- 1:36:41Speaker 14: I hope.
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: So enter Helena, disguised like a pilgrim.
- 1:36:45Speaker 14: Look, here comes a pilgrim. I know she will lie
- 1:36:48Speaker 14: at my house. Thither they send one another. I'll question her.
- 1:36:52Speaker 14: God save you, pilgrim. Whither are you bound.
- 1:36:55Speaker 17: To Saint Jacques la Grand? Where do the palmers lodge?
- 1:36:59Speaker 14: I do beseech you at the Saint Francis here beside
- 1:37:02Speaker 14: the port.
- 1:37:03Speaker 17: Is this the way I marry?
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: Ist a march afar?
- 1:37:08Speaker 14: Hark you? They come this way? If you will tarry,
- 1:37:11Speaker 14: holy Pilgrim, but till the troops come by, I will
- 1:37:14Speaker 14: conduct you where you shall be lodged the rather, for
- 1:37:18Speaker 14: I think I know your hostess as ample as myself.
- 1:37:22Speaker 17: Is it yourself?
- 1:37:23Speaker 14: If you shall please, so, pilgrim.
- 1:37:26Speaker 17: I thank you, and will stay upon your leisure.
- 1:37:30Speaker 14: You came, I think from France.
- 1:37:33Speaker 17: I did so.
- 1:37:34Speaker 14: Here you shall see a countryman of yours that has
- 1:37:37Speaker 14: done worthy service.
- 1:37:39Speaker 4: His name, I pray you, the Count Resilian know you
- 1:37:43Speaker 4: such a one.
- 1:37:45Speaker 17: But by the ear that hears most nobly of him
- 1:37:48Speaker 17: his face, I know not.
- 1:37:50Speaker 4: What's a here he is. He's bravely taken here. He
- 1:37:53Speaker 4: stole from France, as tis reported, for the king had
- 1:37:57Speaker 4: married him against his liking. Think you it is so?
- 1:38:01Speaker 17: Aye? Surely mere the truth? I know his lady.
- 1:38:05Speaker 4: There is a gentleman that serves the count reports but
- 1:38:08Speaker 4: coarsely of her. What's his name, Monsieur Parols?
- 1:38:12Speaker 17: Oh, I believe with him an argument of praise or
- 1:38:16Speaker 17: to the worth of the great count himself. She is
- 1:38:19Speaker 17: too mean to have her name repeated. All her deserving
- 1:38:23Speaker 17: is a reserved honesty, and that I have not heard examined.
- 1:38:27Speaker 4: Alas, poor lady, tis a hard bondage to become the
- 1:38:31Speaker 4: wife of a detesting lord.
- 1:38:33Speaker 14: I warrant good creature, wheresoeer she is. Her heart weighs sadly.
- 1:38:39Speaker 14: This young maid might do her a shrewd turn if
- 1:38:42Speaker 14: she pleased.
- 1:38:44Speaker 17: How do you mean? Maybe the amorous count solicits her
- 1:38:47Speaker 17: in the unlawful purpose?
- 1:38:49Speaker 14: He does, indeed, and brokes with all that can in
- 1:38:52Speaker 14: such a suit corrupt the tender honor of the maid.
- 1:38:55Speaker 14: But she is armed for him, and keeps her guard
- 1:38:58Speaker 14: in honestest death.
- 1:39:01Speaker 12: The gods forbid else.
- 1:39:03Speaker 14: So now they come.
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: Drum and colors, enter Bertram Paroles, and the whole army.
- 1:39:10Speaker 14: That is Antonio, the Duke's eldest son.
- 1:39:13Speaker 17: That Eschylus, which is the Frenchman.
- 1:39:16Speaker 4: He that with the plume 'tis a most gallant fellow.
- 1:39:21Speaker 4: Why would he loved his wife if he were honester?
- 1:39:24Speaker 4: He were much goodlier? Is not a handsome gentleman?
- 1:39:27Speaker 17: I like him?
- 1:39:28Speaker 4: Well, tis pity he is not honest. Yon's that same
- 1:39:32Speaker 4: knave that leads him to these places. Were I his lady,
- 1:39:35Speaker 4: I would poison that vile rascal. Which is he that
- 1:39:39Speaker 4: jackanapes with scarfs? Why is he melancholy?
- 1:39:43Speaker 17: Perchance he's hurt to the battle.
- 1:39:46Speaker 18: Use all drum well.
- 1:39:49Speaker 12: He's surely vexed at something. Look he espied us marry
- 1:39:54Speaker 12: hang you and your courtesy for.
- 1:39:56Speaker 1: A ring carrier, Excellant Bertram, Paroles and army.
- 1:40:01Speaker 14: The troop is past. Come pilgrim. I will bring you
- 1:40:04Speaker 14: where you shall host of enjoined penitence. There's four or
- 1:40:08Speaker 14: five to great Saint Jack was bound already at my house.
- 1:40:13Speaker 17: I humbly thank you. Please it this matron and this
- 1:40:17Speaker 17: gentle maid to eat with us to night. The charge
- 1:40:19Speaker 17: and thanking shall be for me, and to requite you further,
- 1:40:23Speaker 17: I will bestow some percepts of this virgin worthy the note.
- 1:40:26Speaker 14: We'll take your offer kindly.
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: Except scene six camp before Florence, enter Bertram and to
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: two French lords.
- 1:40:37Speaker 20: Nay good, my lord, put him to it. Let him
- 1:40:40Speaker 20: have his way.
- 1:40:41Speaker 7: If your lordship find him not a hilding, hold me
- 1:40:44Speaker 7: no more in your respect.
- 1:40:46Speaker 20: On my life, my lord a bubble?
- 1:40:48Speaker 16: Do you think I am so far deceived in him.
- 1:40:51Speaker 20: Believe it, my Lord, in mine own direct knowledge, without
- 1:40:54Speaker 20: any malice, but to speak of him as my kinsman.
- 1:40:57Speaker 20: He's a most notable coward, and infinite endless liar, and
- 1:41:01Speaker 20: hourly promise breaker, the owner of no one good quality
- 1:41:05Speaker 20: worthy your Lordship's entertainment.
- 1:41:07Speaker 7: It will fit you, knew him, less to reposing too
- 1:41:10Speaker 7: far in his virtue, which he hath not. He might,
- 1:41:14Speaker 7: at some great and trusty business in a main danger
- 1:41:18Speaker 7: fail you.
- 1:41:18Speaker 16: I would, I knew in what particular action to try him.
- 1:41:21Speaker 7: None better than to let him fetch off his drum,
- 1:41:24Speaker 7: which you hear him so confidently undertake to do.
- 1:41:28Speaker 20: I, with a troop of Florentines, will suddenly surprise him
- 1:41:32Speaker 20: such I will have whom I am sure he knows
- 1:41:34Speaker 20: not from the enemy. We will bind and hoodwig him
- 1:41:37Speaker 20: so that he shall suppose no other but that he
- 1:41:39Speaker 20: is carried into the leaguer of the adversaries. When we
- 1:41:42Speaker 20: bring him to our own tents, be but your Lordship
- 1:41:44Speaker 20: present at his examination. If he do not, for the
- 1:41:47Speaker 20: promise of his life, and in the highest compulsion of
- 1:41:50Speaker 20: base fear, offer to betray you and deliver all the
- 1:41:53Speaker 20: intelligence in his power against you, And that with the
- 1:41:56Speaker 20: divine forfeit of his soul upon oath, Never trust my
- 1:41:59Speaker 20: judge in anything.
- 1:42:01Speaker 7: Oh, for the love of laughter, let him fetch his drum.
- 1:42:05Speaker 7: He says, he has a stratagem fort when your lordship
- 1:42:09Speaker 7: sees the bottom of his success in it, And to
- 1:42:12Speaker 7: what metal, this counterfeit lump of ore will be melted
- 1:42:17Speaker 7: if you give him not John Drumm's entertainment, Your inclining
- 1:42:22Speaker 7: cannot be removed. Here he comes.
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: Enter perilous, assigned to Bertram.
- 1:42:30Speaker 20: Oh for the love of laughter, hinder not the honor
- 1:42:32Speaker 20: of his design. Let him fetch off his drum in
- 1:42:35Speaker 20: any hand.
- 1:42:36Speaker 16: How now, monsieur, this drum sticks sorely in your disposition.
- 1:42:41Speaker 7: A pox on it. Let it go. Tis but a drum.
- 1:42:45Speaker 18: But a drum is but a drum, A drum so lost. Ha.
- 1:42:52Speaker 18: There was an excellent command to charging with our horse
- 1:42:56Speaker 18: upon our own wings, and to rend our own soldiers.
- 1:43:00Speaker 7: That was not to be blamed in the command of
- 1:43:02Speaker 7: the service. It was a disaster of war that Caesar
- 1:43:05Speaker 7: himself could not have prevented if he had been there
- 1:43:09Speaker 7: to command.
- 1:43:10Speaker 16: Well, we cannot greatly condemn our success. Some dishonor we
- 1:43:15Speaker 16: had in the loss of that drum, but it is
- 1:43:17Speaker 16: not to be recovered.
- 1:43:19Speaker 18: It might have been recovered, It might, but it's not
- 1:43:22Speaker 18: now it is to be recovered. But that the merit
- 1:43:26Speaker 18: of service is seldom attributed to the true and exact performer.
- 1:43:31Speaker 18: I would have that drum or another or hicck jacket.
- 1:43:35Speaker 16: Why if you have a stomach to it, monsieur, if
- 1:43:38Speaker 16: you think your mystery in stratagem can bring this instrument
- 1:43:42Speaker 16: of honor again to his native quarter, be magnanimous in
- 1:43:45Speaker 16: the enterprise and go on. I will grace the attempt
- 1:43:48Speaker 16: for a worthy exploit. If you speed well in it,
- 1:43:51Speaker 16: the Duke shall both speak of it and extend to
- 1:43:54Speaker 16: you what further becomes his greatness, even to the utmost
- 1:43:57Speaker 16: syllable of your worthiness.
- 1:44:00Speaker 18: By the hand of a soldier.
- 1:44:01Speaker 16: I will undertake it, but you must not now slumber
- 1:44:05Speaker 16: in it.
- 1:44:06Speaker 18: I'll about it this evening, and I will presently pen
- 1:44:09Speaker 18: down my dilemmas, encourage myself in my certainty, put myself
- 1:44:14Speaker 18: into my moral preparation, and by midnight look to hear
- 1:44:19Speaker 18: further from me.
- 1:44:20Speaker 16: May I be bold to acquaint his grace. You have
- 1:44:22Speaker 16: gone about it.
- 1:44:23Speaker 18: I know lot what the success will be, my lord.
- 1:44:26Speaker 18: But the attempt I vow.
- 1:44:29Speaker 16: I know doubt valiant, and to the possibility of thy
- 1:44:32Speaker 16: soldiership will subscribe for thee fowell.
- 1:44:36Speaker 18: I love not many words, exit no more than a
- 1:44:41Speaker 18: fish loves water.
- 1:44:43Speaker 20: Is not this a strange fellow, my lord, that so
- 1:44:46Speaker 20: confidently seems to undertake this business which he knows is
- 1:44:49Speaker 20: not to be done, damns himself to do, and dares
- 1:44:52Speaker 20: better be damned than to do it.
- 1:44:54Speaker 7: You do not know him, my lord, as we do
- 1:44:57Speaker 7: certain it is that he will steal himself into a
- 1:45:01Speaker 7: man's favor and for a week escape a great deal
- 1:45:04Speaker 7: of discoveries. But when you find him out, you have
- 1:45:07Speaker 7: him ever after.
- 1:45:08Speaker 16: Why do you think he will make no deed at
- 1:45:10Speaker 16: all of this, that so seriously he does address himself unto.
- 1:45:13Speaker 20: None in the world, but return with an invention and
- 1:45:16Speaker 20: clap upon you two or three probable lies. But we
- 1:45:19Speaker 20: have almost embossed him. You shall see his fall tonight,
- 1:45:22Speaker 20: For indeed he is not for your lordship's respect.
- 1:45:25Speaker 7: We'll make you some sport with the fox ere we
- 1:45:28Speaker 7: case him. He was first smoked by the old Lord
- 1:45:31Speaker 7: Lafeu when his disguise and he is parted tell me
- 1:45:36Speaker 7: what a sprat you shall find him, which you shall
- 1:45:39Speaker 7: see this very night.
- 1:45:41Speaker 20: I must go look my twigs. He shall be.
- 1:45:43Speaker 16: Caught your brother. He shall go along with me as.
- 1:45:47Speaker 20: To please your lordship, I'll leave you exit now.
- 1:45:51Speaker 16: Will I lead you to the house and show you
- 1:45:53Speaker 16: the last I spoke of?
- 1:45:55Speaker 7: But you say she's honest.
- 1:45:57Speaker 16: That's all the faults. I spoke with a once and
- 1:46:00Speaker 16: found I wonders cold. But I sent to her by
- 1:46:03Speaker 16: the same cogscub that we have in the wind, tokens
- 1:46:05Speaker 16: and letters, which she did resend. And this is all
- 1:46:09Speaker 16: I've done. She's a fair creature. Will you go see her?
- 1:46:14Speaker 7: With all my heart, my lord?
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: Except Scene seven Florence the Widow's house. Enter Helena and Widow.
- 1:46:25Speaker 17: If you misdoubt me that I am not she, I
- 1:46:27Speaker 17: know not how I shall assure you further, But I
- 1:46:30Speaker 17: shall lose the grounds I work upon.
- 1:46:32Speaker 14: Though my estate be fallen. I was well born, nothing
- 1:46:36Speaker 14: acquainted with these businesses. Would not put reputation now in
- 1:46:41Speaker 14: any staining act.
- 1:46:43Speaker 17: Nor would I wish you first give me trust the
- 1:46:47Speaker 17: count he is my husband. And what to your sworn
- 1:46:51Speaker 17: counsel I have spoken is so from word to word,
- 1:46:54Speaker 17: and then you cannot by the good aid that I
- 1:46:56Speaker 17: of you shall borrow air and bestowing it.
- 1:47:00Speaker 14: I should believe you, for you have showed me that
- 1:47:02Speaker 14: which well approves your great in fortune.
- 1:47:06Speaker 17: Take this purse of gold, and let me buy your
- 1:47:09Speaker 17: friendly help thus far, which I will overpay and pay
- 1:47:12Speaker 17: again when I have found it. The count he woes
- 1:47:16Speaker 17: your daughter, lays down his wanton siege before her beauty,
- 1:47:19Speaker 17: resolved to carry her, let her in fine consent, as
- 1:47:24Speaker 17: will direct her, how tis best to bear it? Now
- 1:47:27Speaker 17: his important blood will not deny that she'll demand a ring.
- 1:47:31Speaker 17: The County wears that downward hath succeeded in his house
- 1:47:35Speaker 17: from son to son, some four or five descents from
- 1:47:38Speaker 17: the first father wore it. This ring he holds in
- 1:47:41Speaker 17: most rich choice, yet in his idle fire, to buy
- 1:47:45Speaker 17: his will. It would not seem too dear, howe'er repented.
- 1:47:48Speaker 14: After now I see the bottom of your purpose.
- 1:47:53Speaker 17: You see it lawful. Then it is no more but
- 1:47:56Speaker 17: that your daughter ere she seems as one desires. This
- 1:48:00Speaker 17: ring appoints him an encounter in fine delivers me to
- 1:48:04Speaker 17: fill the time herself most chastely absent after this to
- 1:48:08Speaker 17: marry her I'll add three thousand crowns to what is past.
- 1:48:12Speaker 14: Already I have yielded instruct my daughter how she shall
- 1:48:17Speaker 14: persever that time and place with this deceit, so lawful
- 1:48:22Speaker 14: may prove coherent. Every night he comes with musics of
- 1:48:27Speaker 14: all sorts and songs composed to her unworthiness. It nothing
- 1:48:32Speaker 14: steads us to chide him from our eaves, for he
- 1:48:35Speaker 14: persists as if his life landt.
- 1:48:39Speaker 17: Why then to night let us say our plot, which
- 1:48:42Speaker 17: of its speed is wicked meaning in a lawful deed
- 1:48:45Speaker 17: and lawful meaning in a lawful act, where both not
- 1:48:48Speaker 17: sin and yet a sinful fact. But let's about it.

- 1:49:28Speaker 1: without the Florentine camp. Enter second French lord with five
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: or six other soldiers in ambush.
- 1:49:36Speaker 20: He can come no other way but by this hedge corner.
- 1:49:39Speaker 20: When you sally upon him, speak what terrible language you will,
- 1:49:42Speaker 20: though you understand it, not yourselves, no matter, for we
- 1:49:45Speaker 20: must not seem to understand him unless some one among
- 1:49:49Speaker 20: us whom we must produce for an interpreter.
- 1:49:51Speaker 8: Good captain, let me be d nenterpritter art.
- 1:49:54Speaker 20: Not acquainted with him, knows he not thy voice.
- 1:49:58Speaker 8: No, sir, I warrant you.
- 1:49:59Speaker 20: But what Lindsey Wolsey, hast thou to speak to us again?
- 1:50:03Speaker 8: Even such as you speak to me.
- 1:50:05Speaker 20: He must think us some band of strangers of the
- 1:50:07Speaker 20: adversary's entertainment. Now he hath a smack of all neighboring languages.
- 1:50:11Speaker 20: Therefore we must every one be a man of his
- 1:50:13Speaker 20: own fancy not to know what we speak one to another.
- 1:50:17Speaker 20: So we seem to know is to know straight our purpose.
- 1:50:20Speaker 20: Chuff's language gabble enough and good enough. As for you, interpreter,
- 1:50:24Speaker 20: you must seem very politic. But couch ho here he
- 1:50:27Speaker 20: comes to beguile two hours in a sleep, and then
- 1:50:29Speaker 20: to return and swear the lies he forges enter.
- 1:50:33Speaker 1: Perilous ten o'clock.
- 1:50:37Speaker 18: Within these three hours twill be time enough to go home.
- 1:50:42Speaker 18: What shall I say I have done? It must be
- 1:50:45Speaker 18: a very plause of invention that carries it. They begin
- 1:50:49Speaker 18: to smoke me, and disgraces have of late knocked too
- 1:50:53Speaker 18: often at my door. I find my tongue is too foolhardy.
- 1:50:59Speaker 18: But my heart hath the fear of Mars before at
- 1:51:02Speaker 18: end of his creatures, not daring the reports.
- 1:51:04Speaker 21: Of my tongue.
- 1:51:05Speaker 20: This is the first truth that erithin tongue was guilty of.
- 1:51:09Speaker 18: What the devil should move me to undertake the recovery
- 1:51:12Speaker 18: of this drum? Being not ignorant of the impossibility, and
- 1:51:16Speaker 18: knowing I had no such purpose, I must give myself
- 1:51:21Speaker 18: some hurts and say I got them in exploit. Yet
- 1:51:25Speaker 18: slight ones will not carry it. They will say, came
- 1:51:29Speaker 18: you off with so little? And great ones I dare
- 1:51:33Speaker 18: not give. Wherefore, what's the instance a tongue? I must
- 1:51:40Speaker 18: put you into a butter woman's mouth and buy myself
- 1:51:43Speaker 18: another of Badgeresette's mule. If you prattle me into these perils.
- 1:51:48Speaker 20: Is it possible he should know what he is and
- 1:51:51Speaker 20: be that he is?
- 1:51:53Speaker 18: I would the cutting of my garments would serve the
- 1:51:56Speaker 18: turn or the breaking of my Spanish sword.
- 1:52:00Speaker 20: We cannot afford you so.
- 1:52:02Speaker 18: Or the bearing of my beard. And to say it
- 1:52:04Speaker 18: was in strategy twould not do or to drown my clothes,
- 1:52:09Speaker 18: and say I was.
- 1:52:10Speaker 20: Stripped hardly, sir.
- 1:52:12Speaker 18: Though I swore I leaped from the window of the citadel,
- 1:52:16Speaker 18: how deep thirty.
- 1:52:17Speaker 20: Fathom three great oaths would scarce make that be believed?
- 1:52:22Speaker 18: How would I had any drum of the enemies? I
- 1:52:24Speaker 18: would swear I recovered it.
- 1:52:27Speaker 20: You shall hear one anon, oh, a.
- 1:52:29Speaker 18: Drum now of the enemy's alarum.
- 1:52:32Speaker 20: Within throwcumosus cargo, cargo, cargo, collong.

- 1:52:51Speaker 18: Ha, I know you are the Muscos regiment, and I
- 1:52:55Speaker 18: shall lose my life for want of language. If there
- 1:52:59Speaker 18: be here German or deign, a low Dutch, Italian or French,
- 1:53:04Speaker 18: let him speak to me. I'll discover that would shall undo.

- 1:53:42Speaker 18: Oh, let me live at all the secrets of our camp.
- 1:53:46Speaker 18: I'll show their force, their purposes, and nay, I'll speak
- 1:53:51Speaker 18: that which you will wonder at.
- 1:53:53Speaker 8: But wilt thou faithfully if I do not damn me

- 1:54:02Speaker 1: Exit with Parolla's guard. It a short alarum within.
- 1:54:07Speaker 20: Go tell the Count Roussilian and my brother we have
- 1:54:10Speaker 20: caught the woodcock and will keep him muffled till we
- 1:54:12Speaker 20: do here from them, Captain he wo, I will betray
- 1:54:17Speaker 20: us all unto ourselves inform on that, so are you wo, sir,
- 1:54:22Speaker 20: till then I'll keep him dark and safely locked.
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: Excell Scene two, Florence, the widow's house. Enter Bertram and Diana.
- 1:54:34Speaker 16: They told me that your name was fonty Belle.
- 1:54:37Speaker 4: No, my good lord Diana.
- 1:54:40Speaker 16: Titled goddess and worth it with addition. But fessol in
- 1:54:47Speaker 16: your fine frame have loved no quality. If the quick
- 1:54:52Speaker 16: fire of youth light not your mind, you are no maiden,
- 1:54:55Speaker 16: but a monument when he was dead. You should be
- 1:54:58Speaker 16: such a one as you are now, for you are
- 1:55:00Speaker 16: cold and stern, And now you should be as your
- 1:55:05Speaker 16: mother was when your sweet self was got.
- 1:55:09Speaker 4: She then was honest, So should you be. No, my
- 1:55:14Speaker 4: mother did but duty such my lord, as you owe
- 1:55:18Speaker 4: to your wife.
- 1:55:19Speaker 16: No more of that. I pretty do not strive against
- 1:55:21Speaker 16: my vows. I was compelled to her. But I love
- 1:55:26Speaker 16: THEE by Love's own sweet constraint, and will forever do
- 1:55:30Speaker 16: THEE all rights of service.
- 1:55:33Speaker 4: Aye, So you serve us till we serve you. But
- 1:55:36Speaker 4: when you have our roses, you barely leave our thorns
- 1:55:39Speaker 4: to prick ourselves and mock us with our bareness.
- 1:55:42Speaker 16: How have I sworn?
- 1:55:44Speaker 4: Tis not the many oaths that makes the truth, but
- 1:55:47Speaker 4: the plain single vow that is vowed true? What is
- 1:55:51Speaker 4: not wholly that we swear not by, but take the
- 1:55:54Speaker 4: highest to witness. Then pray you tell me if I
- 1:55:57Speaker 4: should swear by God's great attributes I I loved you dearly?
- 1:56:01Speaker 4: Would you believe my oaths when I did love you?
- 1:56:03Speaker 7: Ill?
- 1:56:04Speaker 4: This has no holding to swear by him whom I
- 1:56:06Speaker 4: protest to love, that I will work against him. Therefore,
- 1:56:10Speaker 4: your oaths are words and poor conditions, but unsealed, at
- 1:56:14Speaker 4: least in my opinion.
- 1:56:16Speaker 16: Change it. Change it be not so holy cruel love
- 1:56:21Speaker 16: is holy, and my integrity ne'er knew the crafts that
- 1:56:25Speaker 16: you do charge men with. Stand no more off. But
- 1:56:29Speaker 16: give thyself unto my sick desires. Who then recovers, say,
- 1:56:34Speaker 16: thou art mine, and ever my love as it begins,
- 1:56:37Speaker 16: shall so persever.
- 1:56:39Speaker 4: I see that men make ropes in such a scar
- 1:56:42Speaker 4: that will forsake ourselves. Give me that ring.
- 1:56:45Speaker 16: Ah, I'll lend it thee, my dear, but have no
- 1:56:49Speaker 16: power to give.
- 1:56:49Speaker 4: It from me, will you not, my lord?
- 1:56:52Speaker 16: It is an honor longing to our house bequeathed down
- 1:56:54Speaker 16: from many ancestors, which were the greatest obloquy in the world.
- 1:56:57Speaker 4: In me to lose mine honor, such a ring, my chastities,
- 1:57:02Speaker 4: the jewel of our house bequeathed down from many ancestors,
- 1:57:06Speaker 4: which were the greatest obloquy of the world, in me
- 1:57:09Speaker 4: to lose thus your own proper wisdom brings in the
- 1:57:13Speaker 4: champion honor on my part against your vain assault.
- 1:57:16Speaker 16: Here take my ring, my house, mine honor, yea, my
- 1:57:21Speaker 16: life be thine, and I'll be bid by thee.
- 1:57:25Speaker 4: When midnight comes knock at my chamber window, I'll order
- 1:57:29Speaker 4: take my mother shall not hear.
- 1:57:31Speaker 5: Now?
- 1:57:31Speaker 4: Will I charge you in the band of truth. When
- 1:57:34Speaker 4: you have conquered my yet made in bed, remain there
- 1:57:37Speaker 4: but an hour, Nor speak to me. My reasons are
- 1:57:40Speaker 4: most strong, and you shall know them. When back again,
- 1:57:43Speaker 4: this ring shall be delivered, and on your finger in
- 1:57:46Speaker 4: the night I'll put another ring that what in time
- 1:57:49Speaker 4: proceeds may token to the future. Are past deeds a
- 1:57:53Speaker 4: due till then then fail not you have won a
- 1:57:58Speaker 4: wife of me, though there my hope be done.
- 1:58:01Speaker 16: A heaven on earth, I have won by wooing thee.
- 1:58:05Speaker 4: Exit for which live long to thank both Heaven and me,
- 1:58:09Speaker 4: you may so.
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: In the end.
- 1:58:11Speaker 4: My mother told me just how he would woo, as
- 1:58:14Speaker 4: if she sat in his heart. She says, all men
- 1:58:17Speaker 4: have the like oaths. He had sworn to marry me
- 1:58:20Speaker 4: when his wife's dead. Therefore I lie with him when
- 1:58:23Speaker 4: I am buried. Since frenchmen are so braved marry that
- 1:58:28Speaker 4: will I live and die a maid Only in this
- 1:58:32Speaker 4: disguise I thinke no sin to cousin him that would
- 1:58:35Speaker 4: unjustly win.
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: Exit Scene three, The Florentine camp entered the two French
- 1:58:44Speaker 1: lords and some two or three soldiers.
- 1:58:47Speaker 7: You have not given him his mother's letter.
- 1:58:50Speaker 20: I have delivered it an hour. Since there is something
- 1:58:53Speaker 20: int that stings his nature, for on the reading it
- 1:58:56Speaker 20: he changed almost into another man.
- 1:58:58Speaker 7: He is much worthy blame laid upon him for shaking
- 1:59:01Speaker 7: off so good a wife and so sweet a lady.
- 1:59:05Speaker 20: Especially, he hath incurred the everlasting displeasure of the king,
- 1:59:09Speaker 20: who had even tuned his bounty to sing happiness to him.
- 1:59:12Speaker 20: I will tell you a thing, but you shall let
- 1:59:14Speaker 20: it dwell darkly with you.
- 1:59:16Speaker 7: When you have spoken, it tis dead, and I am
- 1:59:19Speaker 7: the grave of it.
- 1:59:20Speaker 20: He hath perverted a young gentlewoman here in Florence, of
- 1:59:24Speaker 20: a most chaste renown, and this night he fleshes his
- 1:59:27Speaker 20: will and the spoil of her honor. He hath given
- 1:59:30Speaker 20: her his monumental ring, and thinks himself made in the
- 1:59:33Speaker 20: unchaste composition.
- 1:59:35Speaker 7: Now, God delay our rebellion, as we are ourselves what things.
- 1:59:39Speaker 20: Are we merely our own traitors, And as in the
- 1:59:43Speaker 20: common course of all treasons we still see them reveal
- 1:59:46Speaker 20: themselves till they attained to their abhorred ends. So he
- 1:59:50Speaker 20: that in this action contrives against his own nobility in
- 1:59:53Speaker 20: his proper stream, or flows himself.
- 1:59:56Speaker 7: Is it not meant damnable in us to be trumpeters
- 1:59:59Speaker 7: of our own unlawful intense. We shall not then have
- 2:00:02Speaker 7: his company to.
- 2:00:03Speaker 20: Night, not till after midnight, for he has dieted to
- 2:00:07Speaker 20: his hour.
- 2:00:08Speaker 7: That approaches apace. I would gladly have him see his
- 2:00:12Speaker 7: company anatomized, that he might take a measure of his
- 2:00:16Speaker 7: own judgments, wherein so curiously he had set this counterfeit.
- 2:00:21Speaker 20: We will not meddle with him till he come, for
- 2:00:24Speaker 20: his presence must be the whip of the other.
- 2:00:26Speaker 7: In the meantime, what hear you of these wars?
- 2:00:30Speaker 20: I hear there is an overture of peace.
- 2:00:33Speaker 7: Nay, I assure you a peace concluded.
- 2:00:36Speaker 20: What will Count Rosilian do?
- 2:00:38Speaker 7: Then?
- 2:00:38Speaker 20: Will he travel higher? Or return again into friends?
- 2:00:41Speaker 7: I perceive by this demand you are not altogether of
- 2:00:44Speaker 7: his counsel.
- 2:00:45Speaker 20: Let it be forbid, sir, so should I be a
- 2:00:48Speaker 20: great deal of his act, Sir.
- 2:00:50Speaker 7: His wife, some two months since fled from his house.
- 2:00:54Speaker 7: Her pretense is a pilgrimage to Saint Jacques le Grande,
- 2:00:58Speaker 7: with wholly undertaking, with most austere sanctimony she accomplished, and
- 2:01:04Speaker 7: there residing the tenderness of her nature became as prey
- 2:01:08Speaker 7: to her grief in fine made a groan of her
- 2:01:12Speaker 7: last breath, And now she sings in heaven. How is
- 2:01:15Speaker 7: this justified the stronger part of it by her own letters,
- 2:01:20Speaker 7: which makes her story true even to the point of
- 2:01:22Speaker 7: her death. Her death itself, which could not be her
- 2:01:26Speaker 7: office to say is come, was faithfully confirmed by the rector.
- 2:01:31Speaker 20: Of the place hath the count all this intelligence.
- 2:01:35Speaker 7: Aye, And the particular confirmations point from point so to
- 2:01:40Speaker 7: the full arming of the verity.
- 2:01:42Speaker 20: I am heartily sorry that he'll be glad of this.
- 2:01:45Speaker 7: How mightily sometimes we make us comforts of our losses.
- 2:01:50Speaker 20: And how mightily some other times we drown our gain
- 2:01:53Speaker 20: in tears. The great dignity that his valor hath here
- 2:01:56Speaker 20: required for him shall at home be encountered with a
- 2:01:59Speaker 20: shame as ample.
- 2:02:01Speaker 7: The web of our life is of a mingled yarn,
- 2:02:04Speaker 7: good and ill. Together. Our virtues would be proud if
- 2:02:08Speaker 7: our faults whipped them not, and our crimes would despair
- 2:02:13Speaker 7: if they were not cherished by our virtues.
- 2:02:16Speaker 10: Enter a messenger, how now, where's your master.
- 2:02:20Speaker 3: He met the Duke in the street, Sir, of whom
- 2:02:22Speaker 3: he hath taken a solemn leave. His lordship will next
- 2:02:25Speaker 3: morning for France. The Duke hath offered him letters of commendation.
- 2:02:29Speaker 17: To the King.
- 2:02:29Speaker 20: They shall be no more than needful there. If they
- 2:02:32Speaker 20: were more than they can command, they.
- 2:02:34Speaker 7: Cannot be too sweet for the King's tarkness. Here's his lordship.
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: Now enter Bertram, How now.
- 2:02:42Speaker 7: My lord, is it not after midnight?
- 2:02:44Speaker 16: I have tonight despatched sixteen businesses a month's length apiece,
- 2:02:51Speaker 16: by an aftright of success. I have conjured with the Duke,
- 2:02:55Speaker 16: done my idea, with his nearest buried, a wife mourned
- 2:02:58Speaker 16: for her, riched my lady mother. I am returning, entertained
- 2:03:02Speaker 16: my convoy, and between these main parcels of dispatch affected
- 2:03:06Speaker 16: many nicer needs. The last was the greatest, But that
- 2:03:11Speaker 16: I have not ended yet.
- 2:03:12Speaker 20: If the business be of any difficulty, and this morning
- 2:03:15Speaker 20: your departure, hence it requires haste of your lordship.
- 2:03:18Speaker 16: I mean the business is not ended, as fearing to
- 2:03:21Speaker 16: hear of it hereafter. But shall we have this dialogue
- 2:03:24Speaker 16: between the food and the soldier? Come bring forth this
- 2:03:27Speaker 16: counterfeit module. He has deceived me like a double meaning prophesia.
- 2:03:33Speaker 20: Bring him forth, has sat in the stocks all night.
- 2:03:36Speaker 20: Poor gallant knave.
- 2:03:38Speaker 16: No matter his heels have deserved it in usurping his
- 2:03:41Speaker 16: spurs so long? How does he carry himself?
- 2:03:45Speaker 20: I have told your lordship already the stocks carry him.
- 2:03:48Speaker 20: But to answer you as you would be understood, he
- 2:03:51Speaker 20: weeps like a wench that had shed her milk. He
- 2:03:54Speaker 20: hath confessed himself to Morgan, whom he supposes to be
- 2:03:56Speaker 20: a friar, from the time of his remembrance to this
- 2:03:59Speaker 20: very instant disaster of his setting of the stocks. And
- 2:04:02Speaker 20: what think you?
- 2:04:02Speaker 16: He have confessed nothing of me? Has he?
- 2:04:06Speaker 20: His confession is taken and it shall be read to
- 2:04:08Speaker 20: his face. If your lordship be in as I believe
- 2:04:11Speaker 20: you are, you must have the patience to bear it.
- 2:04:15Speaker 1: Enter paroles, guard it, and first.
- 2:04:17Speaker 16: Soldier a plague upon him. Hah, muffled, He can say
- 2:04:21Speaker 16: nothing of me.
- 2:04:22Speaker 7: Hush, hush, Hudmand comes port Tatarosa.
- 2:04:26Speaker 8: He calls for the toutiers. What do you say you
- 2:04:29Speaker 8: doubt them?
- 2:04:31Speaker 18: I will confess what I know without constraint. If you
- 2:04:33Speaker 18: pitch me like a pasty, I can say no more.
- 2:04:36Speaker 8: Bosco simatco bably bindo chechimerco. You are a merciful general.
- 2:04:42Speaker 8: Our general beats you answer to what I shall ask
- 2:04:45Speaker 8: you out of a note.
- 2:04:47Speaker 18: Head, truly, as I hope to live.
- 2:04:51Speaker 8: Reads first demand of him? How many horse? The duke
- 2:04:55Speaker 8: is strong? What say you to death.
- 2:04:59Speaker 18: Five or six thousand, but very weak and unserviceable. The
- 2:05:04Speaker 18: troops are all scattered, and the commander's very poor. Rogues
- 2:05:08Speaker 18: upon my reputation and credit, And as I hope to.
- 2:05:11Speaker 8: Live, shall I said Dano answer, so do?
- 2:05:15Speaker 18: I'll take the sacramente on it? How in which way
- 2:05:18Speaker 18: you will.
- 2:05:19Speaker 16: All's one to him? What a past saving sleeve is this?
- 2:05:22Speaker 7: You are deceived, my lord. This is Monsieur Paross the
- 2:05:25Speaker 7: gallant militarist. That was his own phrase, that had the
- 2:05:30Speaker 7: whole theorech of war in the knot of his scarf
- 2:05:33Speaker 7: and the practice in the shape of his dagger.
- 2:05:36Speaker 20: I will never trust a man again for keeping his
- 2:05:39Speaker 20: sword clean, nor believe he can have everything in him
- 2:05:42Speaker 20: by wearing his apparel neatly well.
- 2:05:45Speaker 18: That is said down five or six thousand horse, I said,
- 2:05:50Speaker 18: I will say true, or thereabouts sat down, for I'll
- 2:05:56Speaker 18: speak truth.
- 2:05:57Speaker 16: He's very near the truth in this, but I caught
- 2:06:00Speaker 16: him no thanks for it in the nature he delivers it.
- 2:06:02Speaker 8: Poor rogues, I pray you say, Well, that's sat down.
- 2:06:07Speaker 18: I humbly thank you, sir. A truth's the truth. The
- 2:06:10Speaker 18: rogues are marvelous.
- 2:06:12Speaker 8: Poor Reads, demand of him of what's chang to day?
- 2:06:17Speaker 8: I foot? What say you to that?
- 2:06:20Speaker 18: By my truth?
- 2:06:21Speaker 21: Sir?
- 2:06:21Speaker 18: If I were to live this present hour, I will
- 2:06:23Speaker 18: tell true. Let me see Spurial one hundred and fifty Sebastian,
- 2:06:29Speaker 18: so many Columbus, so many Jacquiz so many guilty and Cosmo,
- 2:06:36Speaker 18: Lordiwick and Grady I two hundred and fifty each, mine
- 2:06:40Speaker 18: own company, Critifer Vaumont BENTI two hundred and fifty each,
- 2:06:45Speaker 18: So that the muster fil rotten and sound upon my
- 2:06:48Speaker 18: life amounts not to fifteen thousand pole. Have the which
- 2:06:51Speaker 18: dare not shake snow from out their cassocks lest they
- 2:06:54Speaker 18: shake themselves to pieces?
- 2:06:56Speaker 16: What shall be done to him?
- 2:06:58Speaker 7: Nothing but let him have thanks? Demand of him my
- 2:07:01Speaker 7: condition and what credit I have with the Duke.
- 2:07:05Speaker 8: Well, that's sat down, Reads. You shall demand of him,
- 2:07:10Speaker 8: whether one captain domain be in the camp a Frenchman,
- 2:07:15Speaker 8: what his reputation is with the Duke what is valor,
- 2:07:18Speaker 8: honesty and expertness in wars? And whether he thinks it
- 2:07:22Speaker 8: were not possible with will weighing sums of gold to
- 2:07:26Speaker 8: car of him to revolt? What say you do this?
- 2:07:30Speaker 16: What do you know of it?
- 2:07:32Speaker 18: I beseech you let me answer to the particular of
- 2:07:35Speaker 18: the interrogatories, demand them singly.
- 2:07:37Speaker 8: Do you know this captain domain?
- 2:07:40Speaker 7: I know him.
- 2:07:41Speaker 18: I was a butcher's prentice in Paris, from whence he
- 2:07:44Speaker 18: was whipped forgetting the shrieves, fool with child, a dumb innocent.
- 2:07:48Speaker 16: They could not say him nay, nay by a leave
- 2:07:51Speaker 16: hold your hands, though I know his brains are forfeit
- 2:07:54Speaker 16: to the next tile that falls?
- 2:07:57Speaker 8: Well, is this captain in the Duke of Florence's upon
- 2:08:01Speaker 8: my knowledge?
- 2:08:01Speaker 20: He is?
- 2:08:03Speaker 18: And lousy?
- 2:08:05Speaker 7: Nay, look not so upon me? We shall hear of
- 2:08:08Speaker 7: your lordship Anon.
- 2:08:10Speaker 8: What is his reputation with the Duke?
- 2:08:12Speaker 18: The Duke clos him for no other but a poor
- 2:08:14Speaker 18: officer of mine, and written to me this other day
- 2:08:17Speaker 18: to turn him out of the band. I think I
- 2:08:19Speaker 18: have his letter in my pocket.
- 2:08:21Speaker 8: Marry we will search.
- 2:08:23Speaker 18: In good sadness, I do not know either it is
- 2:08:26Speaker 18: there or it is upon a file with the Duke's
- 2:08:28Speaker 18: other letters in my tent.
- 2:08:29Speaker 8: Here it is, here is a paper. Shall I read
- 2:08:34Speaker 8: the di you?
- 2:08:35Speaker 18: I do not know if it be or no.
- 2:08:37Speaker 16: Our interpreter does it well.
- 2:08:39Speaker 8: Excellently, reads Dian. The count is a fool and a
- 2:08:46Speaker 8: fool of gold.
- 2:08:47Speaker 18: That is not the Duke's letter, Sir, That is an
- 2:08:49Speaker 18: advertisement to a proper maid in Florence one Diana to
- 2:08:53Speaker 18: take heed of the allurement of one Count Resilient, a
- 2:08:57Speaker 18: foolish idle boy. But for all that very rattish, Should
- 2:09:01Speaker 18: I I pray you, sir, put it up again?
- 2:09:03Speaker 8: Nay, I'll read it first, by your favor.
- 2:09:06Speaker 18: My meaning it I protest was very honest in the
- 2:09:09Speaker 18: behalf of the maid, for I knew the young Count
- 2:09:12Speaker 18: to be a dangerous and lascivious boy who is o
- 2:09:15Speaker 18: wailed to virginity and devours up on the fry.
- 2:09:18Speaker 16: It finds damnable both sides.
- 2:09:20Speaker 8: Rogue reads when he swears oats bade him drop gold
- 2:09:26Speaker 8: and take it after his course. He never pays the
- 2:09:30Speaker 8: score half one is match, well made match, and will
- 2:09:35Speaker 8: make it. He never pays after death's take it before
- 2:09:40Speaker 8: and say a soldier Tanne told did this man are
- 2:09:44Speaker 8: to mailuit boys are not to kiss for count of this?
- 2:09:49Speaker 8: The count is a fool, I know it, who pays before,
- 2:09:53Speaker 8: but not when he does owe it. Thine as I
- 2:09:56Speaker 8: vout to die in dye yea perils.
- 2:10:00Speaker 16: He shall be whipped through the army with this riem
- 2:10:01Speaker 16: in his forehead.
- 2:10:03Speaker 20: This is your devoted friend, sir, the manifold linguist and
- 2:10:06Speaker 20: the armipotent soldier.
- 2:10:08Speaker 16: I could endure anything before but a cat, and now
- 2:10:13Speaker 16: he's a cat to me.
- 2:10:15Speaker 8: I perceive, Sir, by the generous looks we sell me
- 2:10:19Speaker 8: faint to hang you my.
- 2:10:21Speaker 18: Life, Sir, in any case, not that I'm afraid to die,
- 2:10:24Speaker 18: but that my offense is being many. I would repent
- 2:10:28Speaker 18: out the remainder of nature. Let me live, Sir, in
- 2:10:31Speaker 18: a dungeon, in the stalks, or anywhere so I may live.
- 2:10:35Speaker 8: We'll see what may be done. So you confess freely. Therefore,
- 2:10:39Speaker 8: once more to this captain domain you have answered to
- 2:10:43Speaker 8: his reputation with the Duke, and to his valor, what
- 2:10:46Speaker 8: is his honesty?
- 2:10:48Speaker 18: He will steal, Sir an egg out of a cloister
- 2:10:52Speaker 18: for rapes and ravishments. He paralows nessus. He professes not
- 2:10:57Speaker 18: keeping of oaths and breaking the me is stronger than herky.
- 2:11:00Speaker 18: He will lie, sir, with such volubility that you will
- 2:11:05Speaker 18: think truth were a fool. Drunkenness is his best virtue,
- 2:11:09Speaker 18: for he will be ex swined and drunk, and in
- 2:11:12Speaker 18: his sleep he does little harm, and save to his
- 2:11:15Speaker 18: bedclothes about him. But they know his conditions and lay
- 2:11:19Speaker 18: him in straw. I have but little more to say, sir,
- 2:11:23Speaker 18: of his honesty. He has everything that an honest man
- 2:11:26Speaker 18: should not have. What an honest man should have, he
- 2:11:29Speaker 18: has nothing.
- 2:11:30Speaker 16: I begin to love him for this, For this description
- 2:11:33Speaker 16: of fine honesty a pox upon him. For me, he's
- 2:11:36Speaker 16: more and more a cat.
- 2:11:39Speaker 8: What say you to his expertness in war faith?
- 2:11:42Speaker 18: Sir? He has led the drum before the English tradedians
- 2:11:45Speaker 18: to belie him. I will not, and more of his
- 2:11:48Speaker 18: soldiership I know not, except in that country he had
- 2:11:52Speaker 18: the honor to be the officer to place there called
- 2:11:54Speaker 18: mile End, to instruct for the doubling of files. I
- 2:11:58Speaker 18: would do the man what honor I can, But of
- 2:12:01Speaker 18: this I am not certain.
- 2:12:02Speaker 7: He hath outvillained villainies so far that the rarity redeems him.
- 2:12:07Speaker 16: Parks on him. He's a cat.
- 2:12:08Speaker 8: Sell his qualities being at dispoor prize. I need not
- 2:12:13Speaker 8: to ask you if gold had carved him to revolt
- 2:12:16Speaker 8: sir for a court decieu.
- 2:12:18Speaker 18: He will sell the feasible of his salvation, the inheritance
- 2:12:21Speaker 18: of it, and cut the intail from all remainders, and
- 2:12:25Speaker 18: a perpetual succession for it, perpetually.
- 2:12:28Speaker 8: What's his brother, the udd Captain Domaine?
- 2:12:31Speaker 20: Why does he ask him of me?
- 2:12:33Speaker 7: What is hey?
- 2:12:34Speaker 18: L a crow the same nest, not altogether so great
- 2:12:37Speaker 18: as the first in goodness, but greater a great deal
- 2:12:40Speaker 18: in evil. He exceeds his brother for a coward, yet
- 2:12:44Speaker 18: his brother is reputed one of the best.
- 2:12:46Speaker 7: That is, in a.
- 2:12:48Speaker 18: Retreat he outruns any lackey Mary in coming on. He
- 2:12:52Speaker 18: has the cramp.
- 2:12:54Speaker 8: If your life be saved, will you undertake to betrate
- 2:12:57Speaker 8: the Florentine.
- 2:12:58Speaker 18: Ahi and the captain of his horse, Count Resilian.
- 2:13:02Speaker 8: I'll wise bout the general and know his pleasure aside.
- 2:13:07Speaker 18: No more drumming, a plague of all drums, only to
- 2:13:12Speaker 18: seem to deserve well and to beguile the supposition about
- 2:13:15Speaker 18: lucivious young boy the Count. Have I run into this danger? Yet?
- 2:13:20Speaker 18: Who would have suspected an ambush where I was taken.
- 2:13:23Speaker 8: There is no remedy, sir, But you must die. The
- 2:13:27Speaker 8: General says you, that have so traitoriously discovered the secrets
- 2:13:31Speaker 8: of your army and made such pastiferous reports of man
- 2:13:34Speaker 8: very nobly held, can serve the world for no honest use.
- 2:13:39Speaker 8: Therefore you must die. Come headsman off with his head.
- 2:13:44Speaker 18: Oh lord, sir, let me live or let me see
- 2:13:47Speaker 18: my death?
- 2:13:49Speaker 7: That shall you, and take your leave.
- 2:13:51Speaker 1: Of all your friends unblinding him.
- 2:13:54Speaker 7: So look about you know you any here?
- 2:13:58Speaker 16: Good morrow?
- 2:13:59Speaker 7: No more?
- 2:14:01Speaker 20: God bless you, Captain, Parolus.
- 2:14:04Speaker 7: God save you, noble captain.
- 2:14:06Speaker 20: Captain, what greeting will you to my lord?
- 2:14:09Speaker 7: Le feu?
- 2:14:09Speaker 20: I am for friends?
- 2:14:11Speaker 7: Good captain? Will you give me a copy of the
- 2:14:13Speaker 7: sonnet you write to Diana in behalf of the count
- 2:14:17Speaker 7: Roslon and I were not a very coward ill compellate
- 2:14:22Speaker 7: of you, but fare you well.
- 2:14:25Speaker 8: Except Bertram and lords, you are undone, captain, all but
- 2:14:30Speaker 8: your scarf that has not aunt yet.
- 2:14:34Speaker 18: Who cannot be crushed with a plot.
- 2:14:37Speaker 8: If you could find out a country where but women
- 2:14:40Speaker 8: where that had received so much shame, you might begin
- 2:14:44Speaker 8: an impudent nation very well, sir, I am for friends too.
- 2:14:50Speaker 8: We shall speak of you, dear.
- 2:14:53Speaker 1: Exit with soldiers.
- 2:14:56Speaker 18: Yet I am thankful. If my heart were great would
- 2:14:59Speaker 18: burn this captain, I'll be no more. But I will
- 2:15:04Speaker 18: eat and drink and sleep as soft as captain shall
- 2:15:09Speaker 18: simply the thing I am shall make me live. Who
- 2:15:13Speaker 18: knows himself a braggart, let him fear this, for it
- 2:15:16Speaker 18: will come to pass that every braggart shall be found
- 2:15:19Speaker 18: an ass rust sword, cool blushes and parolus. Live safest
- 2:15:27Speaker 18: in shame, being fooled by foolery. Thrive. There's place and
- 2:15:33Speaker 18: means for every man alive. I'll after them.
- 2:15:37Speaker 1: Exit Scene four, Florence the Widow's house. Enter Helena, Widow
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: and Diana.
- 2:15:46Speaker 17: That you may well perceive I have not wronged you.
- 2:15:49Speaker 17: One of the greatest in the Christian world shall be
- 2:15:51Speaker 17: my shorty, for whose throne tis needful? Ere I can
- 2:15:55Speaker 17: perfect mine intense to kneel time was I did him
- 2:15:59Speaker 17: a desired office, dear almost as his life, which gratitude
- 2:16:03Speaker 17: through flinty Tartar's bosom would peep forth and answer thanks.
- 2:16:07Speaker 17: I duly am informed his graces at Marseilles, to which
- 2:16:11Speaker 17: place we have convenient convoy. You must know I am
- 2:16:15Speaker 17: supposed dead. The army breaking my husband hies him home
- 2:16:19Speaker 17: where heaven aiding, and by the leave of my good
- 2:16:22Speaker 17: lord the king will be before our welcome.
- 2:16:24Speaker 14: Gentle madam, you never had a servant to whose trust
- 2:16:28Speaker 14: your business was more welcome.
- 2:16:30Speaker 17: Nor you, mistress, ever a friend whose thoughts more truly
- 2:16:34Speaker 17: labor to recompense your love. Doubt not, but Heaven hath
- 2:16:37Speaker 17: brought me up to be your daughter's dower, as it
- 2:16:40Speaker 17: hath fated her to be my motive and help her
- 2:16:42Speaker 17: to a husband. But oh, strange men that can such
- 2:16:48Speaker 17: sweet use make of what they hate. When saucy trusting
- 2:16:52Speaker 17: of the cousined thought defiles the pitchy knight. So lust
- 2:16:56Speaker 17: doth play with what it loathes for that which is away.
- 2:17:00Speaker 17: But more of this hereafter you, Diana, under my poor instructions,
- 2:17:04Speaker 17: yet must suffer something in my behalf.
- 2:17:07Speaker 4: Let death and honesty go with your impositions. I am
- 2:17:11Speaker 4: yours upon your will to suffer.
- 2:17:13Speaker 17: Yet I pray you but with the word the time
- 2:17:16Speaker 17: will bring on summer, when briars shall have leaves as
- 2:17:19Speaker 17: well as thorns, and be as sweet as sharp. We
- 2:17:22Speaker 17: must away our wagon is prepared, and time revives us.
- 2:17:26Speaker 17: All's well that ends well? Still the fine, the crown,
- 2:17:30Speaker 17: what e'er the course?
- 2:17:32Speaker 1: The end is the renown exampt Scene five Cossilon, the
- 2:17:40Speaker 1: Count's palace, Enter, Countess le Fieu, and clown.
- 2:17:45Speaker 11: No, no, no, Your son was misled with a snipped
- 2:17:50Speaker 11: taffeta fellow there whose villain a saffron, would have made
- 2:17:56Speaker 11: all the unbaked and dowy youth of a nation in
- 2:18:00Speaker 11: his color. Your daughter in law had been alive at
- 2:18:04Speaker 11: this hour, and your son here at home, more advanced
- 2:18:09Speaker 11: by the king than by that red tailed humble bee
- 2:18:14Speaker 11: I speak of.
- 2:18:16Speaker 15: I would I had not known him. It was the
- 2:18:20Speaker 15: death of the most thrtuous gentlewoman that ever Nature had
- 2:18:24Speaker 15: praised for creating. If she had partaken of my flesh
- 2:18:30Speaker 15: and cost me the dearest groans of a mother, I
- 2:18:34Speaker 15: could not have owed her a more rooted love.
- 2:18:38Speaker 11: Twas a good lady. Twas a good lady. We may
- 2:18:44Speaker 11: pick a thousand salads. There we light on such another herb.
- 2:18:51Speaker 2: Indeed, sir, she was the sweet Marjoram of the salad,
- 2:18:56Speaker 2: or rather the herb of grace.
- 2:18:59Speaker 11: They are not hobes, you knave they are those hobs.
- 2:19:06Speaker 2: I am no great nebukin aser, Sir, I have not
- 2:19:10Speaker 2: much skill in grass.
- 2:19:13Speaker 11: Whether dost thou profess thyself a knave or a fool?
- 2:19:18Speaker 2: A fool, sir, at a woman's service, and a knave
- 2:19:24Speaker 2: at a man's your distinction, I would cousin the man
- 2:19:29Speaker 2: of his wife and do his service.
- 2:19:33Speaker 11: So you were a knave at his service, indeed, and.
- 2:19:38Speaker 2: I would give his wife my babble, sir, to do
- 2:19:42Speaker 2: her service.
- 2:19:44Speaker 11: I will subscribe for thee thou art both knave and
- 2:19:48Speaker 11: fool at your service?
- 2:19:52Speaker 2: No, no, no, why, sir? If I cannot serve you,
- 2:19:58Speaker 2: I can serve as great a prince as you are.
- 2:20:02Speaker 11: Who's that? A Frenchman?
- 2:20:04Speaker 2: Faith, Sir has an English name, but his phisnomy is
- 2:20:09Speaker 2: more hotter in France than here. What prince is that
- 2:20:14Speaker 2: the Black Prince, Sir, alias the Prince of darkness alias
- 2:20:20Speaker 2: the devil.
- 2:20:21Speaker 11: Hold thee. There's my pass I give thee, not this
- 2:20:25Speaker 11: to suggest thee from thy master. Thou talkest off serve
- 2:20:30Speaker 11: him still.
- 2:20:32Speaker 2: I am a woodland fellow, Sir, that always loved a
- 2:20:36Speaker 2: great fire, And the master I speak of ever keeps
- 2:20:40Speaker 2: a good fire. But sure he is the prince of
- 2:20:44Speaker 2: the world. Let his nobility remain in his court. I
- 2:20:50Speaker 2: am for the house with the narrow gate, which I
- 2:20:53Speaker 2: take to be too little for pomp to enter. Some
- 2:20:57Speaker 2: that humble themselves may, but the many will be too
- 2:21:01Speaker 2: chill and tender, and they'll be for thee flowery way
- 2:21:06Speaker 2: that leads to the broad gate and the great fire.
- 2:21:10Speaker 11: Go thy ways. I begin to be weary of thee,
- 2:21:15Speaker 11: and I tell THEE so before, because I would not
- 2:21:19Speaker 11: fall out with thee. Go thy ways. Let my horses
- 2:21:25Speaker 11: be well locked to without any tricks.
- 2:21:30Speaker 2: If I put any tricks upon him, sir, they shall
- 2:21:33Speaker 2: be Jade's tricks, which are their own right by the
- 2:21:37Speaker 2: law of nature.
- 2:21:39Speaker 11: Exit a shrewd knave and an unhappy So.
- 2:21:46Speaker 15: He is, my lord, that's gone made himself much sport
- 2:21:51Speaker 15: out of him by his authority. He remains here, which
- 2:21:55Speaker 15: he thinks is a patent for his solciness. And in
- 2:22:00Speaker 15: indeed he has no pace, but runs where he will.
- 2:22:04Speaker 11: I like him well, tis not a miss. And I
- 2:22:08Speaker 11: was about to tell you, since I heard of the
- 2:22:11Speaker 11: good lady's death, and that my lord your son was
- 2:22:17Speaker 11: upon his return home, I moved the king, my master
- 2:22:22Speaker 11: to speak in the behalf of my daughter, which in

- 2:22:31Speaker 11: self gracious remembrance, did first propose His Highness hath promised
- 2:22:39Speaker 11: me to do it, and to stop up the displeasure
- 2:22:42Speaker 11: he hath conceived against your son. There is no fitter matter.
- 2:22:49Speaker 11: How does your Ladyship like it?

- 2:23:03Speaker 11: as when he numbered thirty. He will be here tomorrow
- 2:23:07Speaker 11: or I am deceived by him that in such intelligence
- 2:23:11Speaker 11: hath seldom failed.
- 2:23:14Speaker 15: It rejoices me that I hope I shall see him
- 2:23:17Speaker 15: ere I die. I have letters that my son will
- 2:23:21Speaker 15: be here tonight. I shall beseech your Lordship to remain
- 2:23:25Speaker 15: with me till they meet together.

- 2:25:25Speaker 17: Ah, but this exceeding posting day and night must wear
- 2:25:28Speaker 17: your spirits low. We cannot help it. But since you
- 2:25:32Speaker 17: have made the days and nights as one to wear
- 2:25:34Speaker 17: your gentle limbs in my affairs, be bold you do
- 2:25:38Speaker 17: so grow in my requital, as nothing can unroot you.

- 2:25:53Speaker 17: you in the court.
- 2:25:54Speaker 18: Of France, I have been sometimes there.
- 2:25:58Speaker 17: I do presume, sir, that you are not fallen from

- 2:26:14Speaker 17: it will please you to give this poor petition to
- 2:26:16Speaker 17: the King and aid me with that store of power
- 2:26:18Speaker 17: you have to come into his presence.
- 2:26:21Speaker 21: The King's not here, not here, sir.
- 2:26:24Speaker 18: Not indeed, he hence removed last night, and with more
- 2:26:28Speaker 18: haste than is his use.
- 2:26:30Speaker 14: Lord, how we lose our pains.
- 2:26:33Speaker 17: Ah, All's well that ends well. Yet, though time seems
- 2:26:37Speaker 17: so adverse and means unfit, I do beseech you whither
- 2:26:41Speaker 17: is he gone?
- 2:26:42Speaker 18: Marry as I take it to Ruscilium, whither I am going.
- 2:26:46Speaker 17: I do beseech you, sir, since you are like to
- 2:26:48Speaker 17: see the King before me, commend the paper to his
- 2:26:51Speaker 17: gracious hand, which I presume shall render you no blame,
- 2:26:54Speaker 17: but rather make you thank your pains for it. I
- 2:26:57Speaker 17: will come after you with what good speed our means
- 2:26:59Speaker 17: will make us means. This I'll do for you, and
- 2:27:03Speaker 17: you shall find yourself to be well thanked, whate'er falls more. Ah,
- 2:27:08Speaker 17: we must to horse again.
- 2:27:10Speaker 1: Go go provide except scene two Rossillon before the Count's palace,
- 2:27:18Speaker 1: and to Clown and Perilus following.
- 2:27:21Speaker 18: Ah, good Monsieur Lavash, I give my lord the few
- 2:27:25Speaker 18: this letter. I have her now, sir, been better known
- 2:27:28Speaker 18: to you when I have held familiarity with fresher clothes.
- 2:27:32Speaker 18: But I am, now, sir, muddied in fortune's moodent smell
- 2:27:36Speaker 18: somewhat strong of her strong displeasure.
- 2:27:41Speaker 2: Truly, Fortune's displeasure is but sluttish. If it smells so
- 2:27:47Speaker 2: strongly as thou speakst Of, I will henceforth eat no
- 2:27:51Speaker 2: fish of fortunes, buttering m pretty allow the wind snay.
- 2:27:59Speaker 18: You need not to stop your nose, Sir, I speak
- 2:28:01Speaker 18: but by a metaphor.
- 2:28:03Speaker 2: Indeed, Sir, if your metaphor is stink I will stop
- 2:28:08Speaker 2: my nose or against any man's metaphor, prithee, get thee further.
- 2:28:15Speaker 18: Pray you, sir, deliver me this paper.
- 2:28:19Speaker 2: Oh prithee, stand away a paper from Fortune's close stool
- 2:28:25Speaker 2: to give to a nobleman. Look here he comes himself,
- 2:28:31Speaker 2: and tell a few. Here is a purr of fortune, sir,
- 2:28:37Speaker 2: or of Fortune's cat, but not a muscat that has
- 2:28:41Speaker 2: fallen into the unclean fish pond of her displeasure, and,
- 2:28:47Speaker 2: as he says, is muddied withal. Pray you, sir, use
- 2:28:52Speaker 2: the carp as you may, for he looks like a poor, decayed, ingenious, foolish,
- 2:29:00Speaker 2: rascally nave. I do pity his distress in my similes
- 2:29:06Speaker 2: of comfort, and leave him to your lordship.
- 2:29:11Speaker 18: Exit, my lord. I am a man whom Fortune hath
- 2:29:16Speaker 18: cruelly scratched.
- 2:29:18Speaker 11: And what would you have me to do? Tis too
- 2:29:21Speaker 11: late to pare her nails?
- 2:29:23Speaker 12: Now?
- 2:29:25Speaker 11: Wherein have you played the knave with Fortune that she
- 2:29:29Speaker 11: should scratch you, who, of herself is a good lady
- 2:29:34Speaker 11: and would not have naves thrive long under her? There's
- 2:29:39Speaker 11: a count de ceu for you. Let the justices make
- 2:29:43Speaker 11: you and Fortune friends. I am for other business.
- 2:29:49Speaker 18: I beseech your honor to hear me one single word.
- 2:29:54Speaker 11: You beg a single penny. More come you shall hide it.
- 2:29:59Speaker 11: Save your word.
- 2:30:01Speaker 18: My name, my good lord, is Paralus.
- 2:30:06Speaker 11: You beg more than word, Then cox my passion, give
- 2:30:11Speaker 11: me your hand. How does your drum?
- 2:30:16Speaker 18: Oh, my good lord, you were the first that found me?
- 2:30:20Speaker 11: Was I in sooth? And I was the first that
- 2:30:23Speaker 11: lost thee?
- 2:30:25Speaker 18: It lies in you, my lord, to bring me in
- 2:30:27Speaker 18: some grace for you to bring me out.
- 2:30:30Speaker 11: Out upon thee knave, dost thou put upon me at once?
- 2:30:36Speaker 11: Both the office of God and the devil. One brings
- 2:30:41Speaker 11: thee iningrace, and the other brings thee.
- 2:30:45Speaker 1: Out trumpet sound.
- 2:30:49Speaker 11: The King's coming. I know by his trumpets. Syrah, inquire
- 2:30:55Speaker 11: further after me. I had talk of you last night.
- 2:31:00Speaker 11: You are a fool and a knave. You shall eat
- 2:31:04Speaker 11: go too, follow I praise God for you.
- 2:31:09Speaker 1: Except Scene three Rosillon, the Count's palace, flourish enter King,
- 2:31:19Speaker 1: Countess la Fieu, the two French lords with attendants.
- 2:31:24Speaker 19: We lost a duel of her, and our esteem was
- 2:31:27Speaker 19: made much poorer by it that your son has mad
- 2:31:31Speaker 19: and folly lacked the sense to know her estimation.
- 2:31:34Speaker 15: Home tis past, my liege, and I beseech your majesty
- 2:31:40Speaker 15: to make it natural rebellion done in the place of youth,
- 2:31:44Speaker 15: when oil and fire too strong for reasons force or
- 2:31:48Speaker 15: bears it and burns.
- 2:31:50Speaker 19: On my honored lady. I have forgiven and forgotten all,
- 2:31:55Speaker 19: though my revengers were high bent upon him and watched
- 2:31:58Speaker 19: the time to shoot.
- 2:32:01Speaker 11: This I must say, but first I beg my pardon.
- 2:32:06Speaker 11: The young lord did to his majesty, his mother, and
- 2:32:11Speaker 11: his lady offense of mighty note, but to himself the
- 2:32:17Speaker 11: greatest wrong of all. He lost a wife whose beauty
- 2:32:23Speaker 11: did astonish, the survey of richest eyes, whose words all
- 2:32:29Speaker 11: ears took captive, whose dear perfeccian hearts that scorn'd to serve,
- 2:32:37Speaker 11: humbly called mistress.
- 2:32:41Speaker 19: Praising what is lost, makes the remembrance. Dear well call
- 2:32:46Speaker 19: him hither we are reconciled, and the first view shall
- 2:32:51Speaker 19: kill all repetition. Let him not ask our pardon. The
- 2:32:55Speaker 19: nature of his great offense is dead and deeper than oblivion.
- 2:32:59Speaker 19: Do we bury the incensing relics of it? Let him
- 2:33:03Speaker 19: approach a stranger, no offender, and inform him. So tis
- 2:33:07Speaker 19: our will. He should.
- 2:33:09Speaker 18: I shall my liege exit.
- 2:33:13Speaker 19: What says he to your daughter have you spoke.
- 2:33:16Speaker 11: All that he is hath reference to your highness?
- 2:33:21Speaker 19: Then shall we have a match? I have letters sent
- 2:33:24Speaker 19: me that set him high in fame. Enter Bertram, I
- 2:33:29Speaker 19: am not a day of season, for thou mayst see
- 2:33:32Speaker 19: a sunshine and the hail in me at once. But
- 2:33:35Speaker 19: to the brightest beams distracted clouds give way. So stand
- 2:33:39Speaker 19: thou forth. The time is fair Again.
- 2:33:42Speaker 16: My high repented blames, dear sovereign, pardon to me.
- 2:33:47Speaker 19: All is hull, not one word more of the consumed time.
- 2:33:52Speaker 19: Let's take the instant by the forward top. For we
- 2:33:55Speaker 19: are old, and on our quickest degrees the inaudible and
- 2:33:58Speaker 19: noiseless foot of time steals. Ere we can effect them.
- 2:34:03Speaker 19: You remember the daughter.
- 2:34:04Speaker 16: Of this lord, admiringly my liege. At first I stuck
- 2:34:09Speaker 16: my choice upon her. Ere my heart durst make too
- 2:34:13Speaker 16: bold a herald of my tongue. Where the impression of
- 2:34:16Speaker 16: mine eye, in fixing contempt his scornful perspective, did lend
- 2:34:21Speaker 16: me which warped the line of every other favor, scorned
- 2:34:24Speaker 16: a fair color, or expressed it, stolen, extended or contracted
- 2:34:29Speaker 16: all proportions to a most hideous object. Thence it came
- 2:34:34Speaker 16: that she whom all men praised, and whom myself, since
- 2:34:38Speaker 16: I have lost, have loved, was in mine eye the
- 2:34:44Speaker 16: dust that did defend it well.
- 2:34:47Speaker 19: Excused that thou didst love her strikes some scores away
- 2:34:51Speaker 19: from the great comte. But love that comes too late,
- 2:34:55Speaker 19: like a remorseful pardon, slowly carried to the great sender,
- 2:34:59Speaker 19: turns a sour crying, that's good, that's gone. Our rush.
- 2:35:03Speaker 19: Faults make trivial price of serious things we have, not
- 2:35:08Speaker 19: knowing them until we know their grave. After our displeasures
- 2:35:12Speaker 19: to ourselves unjust destroy our friends, and after weep their dust,
- 2:35:19Speaker 19: our own love waking cries to see what's done, while
- 2:35:23Speaker 19: shame full late sleeps out the afternoon. Be this sweet
- 2:35:28Speaker 19: Helen's knell, and now forget her, Send forth your amorous
- 2:35:33Speaker 19: token for fair Maudlin. The main consents are had, and
- 2:35:37Speaker 19: here we'll stay to see our widower's second marriage day.
- 2:35:42Speaker 15: Which better than the first. Oh, Dear Heaven, bless or.
- 2:35:46Speaker 15: Ere they meet in me o, nature says, come.
- 2:35:50Speaker 11: On, my son, in whom my house's name must be digested,
- 2:35:57Speaker 11: Give a favor from you to sparkle in the spirits
- 2:36:00Speaker 11: of my daughter, that she may quickly.
- 2:36:04Speaker 1: Come, Bertram gives a ring by my old.
- 2:36:09Speaker 11: Beard, and every hair that's aunt Helen that's dead, was
- 2:36:15Speaker 11: a sweet creature such a ring as this. The last
- 2:36:21Speaker 11: Lettaire I took her at court, I saw upon her
- 2:36:25Speaker 11: finger HER's.
- 2:36:27Speaker 19: It was not now, pray you let me see it
- 2:36:31Speaker 19: for mine eye. Whilst I was speaking off twas fastened
- 2:36:35Speaker 19: to this ring was mine. And when I gave it Helen,
- 2:36:40Speaker 19: I bade her, if her fortunes ever stood necessitied to
- 2:36:43Speaker 19: help that by this token I would relieve her, had
- 2:36:47Speaker 19: you that craft to reave her of what should stead
- 2:36:51Speaker 19: her most.
- 2:36:52Speaker 16: My gracious sovereign, howe'er it pleases you to take it?
- 2:36:55Speaker 1: So?
- 2:36:55Speaker 15: The ring was never hers son, on my life, I
- 2:36:59Speaker 15: have seen her wear it, and she reckoned it at
- 2:37:03Speaker 15: her life's rate.
- 2:37:05Speaker 11: I am sure I saw her wear it.
- 2:37:08Speaker 16: You are deceived, my lord. She never saw it in Florence.
- 2:37:13Speaker 16: Was it from a casement thrown me, wrapped in a
- 2:37:17Speaker 16: paper which contained the name of her that threw it.
- 2:37:20Speaker 7: Noble she was, and.
- 2:37:22Speaker 16: Thought I still engaged. But when I had subscribed to
- 2:37:25Speaker 16: mine own fortune and informed her fully, I could not
- 2:37:28Speaker 16: answer in that course of honor, as she had made
- 2:37:31Speaker 16: the overture, she ceased in heavy satisfaction and would never
- 2:37:37Speaker 16: receive the ring again.
- 2:37:38Speaker 19: Polluterus himself, that knows the tinke and multiplying medicine, hath not,
- 2:37:43Speaker 19: in nature's mystery more science than I have. In this
- 2:37:46Speaker 19: ring twas mine, twas Helen's. Whoever gave it to you?
- 2:37:51Speaker 19: Then if you know that you are well acquainted with yourself,
- 2:37:55Speaker 19: confessed with hers, and by what rough enforcement you got
- 2:37:59Speaker 19: it from her? She called the saints to surety that
- 2:38:03Speaker 19: she would never put it from her finger unless she
- 2:38:06Speaker 19: gave it to yourself in bed where you have never come,
- 2:38:09Speaker 19: or sent it us upon her great disaster, she never
- 2:38:13Speaker 19: saw it. Thou speak'st it falsely, as I love mine honor,
- 2:38:18Speaker 19: and make'st conjectural fears to come in to me, which
- 2:38:21Speaker 19: I would fain shut out if it should prove that
- 2:38:24Speaker 19: thou art so inhuman. Twill not prove, sir, Yet I
- 2:38:29Speaker 19: know not thou didst hate her deadly, and she is dead,
- 2:38:34Speaker 19: which nothing but to close her eyes myself could win
- 2:38:37Speaker 19: me to believe more than to see this ring take.
- 2:38:41Speaker 1: Her away, guards seize Bertram.
- 2:38:45Speaker 19: By four past proofs. However, the matter fall shall tax
- 2:38:48Speaker 19: my fears of little vanity, having vainly feared too little
- 2:38:53Speaker 19: away with him. We'll sift this matter further.
- 2:38:57Speaker 16: If you should prove this ring was, you shall as
- 2:39:01Speaker 16: easy prove that I husband in her bed in Florence,
- 2:39:05Speaker 16: where yet she never was.
- 2:39:08Speaker 1: Exit guarded.
- 2:39:11Speaker 19: I am wrapped in dismal thinkings.
- 2:39:15Speaker 1: Enter a gentleman, gracious sovereign.
- 2:39:18Speaker 18: Whether I have been to blame or no, I know not.
- 2:39:22Speaker 18: Here's a petition from.
- 2:39:23Speaker 21: A Florentine who hath four four or five removes, come
- 2:39:27Speaker 21: short to tender it herself. I undertook it, vanquished there
- 2:39:31Speaker 21: too by the fair grace and speech of the poor suppliant, who,
- 2:39:34Speaker 21: by this I know is here attending her business, looks
- 2:39:38Speaker 21: in her with an importing visage. And she told me
- 2:39:41Speaker 21: in a sweet verbal brief, it did concern your Highness
- 2:39:45Speaker 21: with herself.
- 2:39:46Speaker 19: Reads upon his many protestations to marry me when his
- 2:39:51Speaker 19: wife was dead. I blush to say it. He won
- 2:39:55Speaker 19: me now as the Count Rusiana widower, his vows are
- 2:39:59Speaker 19: forfeited me and my honors paid to him. He stole
- 2:40:03Speaker 19: from Florence, taking no leave, and I follow him to
- 2:40:07Speaker 19: his country for justice granted me. O King in you
- 2:40:12Speaker 19: it best lies. Otherwise a seduce of flourishes, and the
- 2:40:16Speaker 19: poor maid is undone.
- 2:40:19Speaker 11: Diana capulet ha, I will buy me a son in law,
- 2:40:24Speaker 11: an affair, and toll for this I'll none of him.
- 2:40:30Speaker 19: The heavens have thought well on thee lauffeur to bring
- 2:40:33Speaker 19: forth this discovery. Seek these suitors, go speedily and bring
- 2:40:37Speaker 19: again the count. I am afeared. The life of Helen
- 2:40:41Speaker 19: Lady was foully snatch'd.
- 2:40:44Speaker 15: Now justice on.
- 2:40:46Speaker 1: The doers re enter bertram guarded.
- 2:40:51Speaker 19: I wonder, sir, since wives are monsters to you, and
- 2:40:54Speaker 19: that you fly them as you swear them lordship. Yet
- 2:40:58Speaker 19: you desire to marry.
- 2:41:01Speaker 1: And to widow and Diana?
- 2:41:03Speaker 15: What wounds that I am, my lord.
- 2:41:06Speaker 4: A wretched Florentine. Derive it from the ancient capitalet my
- 2:41:11Speaker 4: suit as I do understand you know, and therefore know
- 2:41:14Speaker 4: how far I may be pitied.
- 2:41:17Speaker 14: I am her mother, Sir, whose age and honor both
- 2:41:20Speaker 14: suffer under this complaint we bring, and both shall cease
- 2:41:24Speaker 14: without your remedy.
- 2:41:25Speaker 19: Come hither, Count. Do know these women, my Lord?
- 2:41:30Speaker 16: I neither can nor will deny, but that I know them?
- 2:41:33Speaker 16: Do they charge me further?
- 2:41:35Speaker 4: Why do you look so strange upon your wife.
- 2:41:38Speaker 16: She is not of mine, my lord.
- 2:41:40Speaker 4: If you shall marry, you give away this hand, and
- 2:41:43Speaker 4: that is mine. You give away Heaven's vows, and those
- 2:41:46Speaker 4: are mine. You give away myself, which is known mine.
- 2:41:50Speaker 4: For I by vou am so embodied yours that she
- 2:41:54Speaker 4: which marries you must marry me, either both or none.
- 2:41:58Speaker 11: Your reputation comes too short for my daughter. You are
- 2:42:03Speaker 11: no husband for her.
- 2:42:05Speaker 16: My lord. This is a fond and desperate creature whom
- 2:42:11Speaker 16: sometime I have laughed with that your highness lay a
- 2:42:16Speaker 16: more noble thought upon mine honor, And for to think
- 2:42:18Speaker 16: that I would sink it here.
- 2:42:21Speaker 19: Sir, for my thoughts, you have them ill to friend,
- 2:42:25Speaker 19: till your deeds gain them fairer, prove your honor than
- 2:42:29Speaker 19: in my thought.
- 2:42:29Speaker 18: It lies good, my lord.
- 2:42:32Speaker 4: Ask him upon his oath if he does think he
- 2:42:35Speaker 4: had not my virginity.
- 2:42:37Speaker 19: What sayest thou to her?
- 2:42:39Speaker 16: She's impudent, my lord, and was a common gagster to
- 2:42:43Speaker 16: the camp.
- 2:42:44Speaker 4: He does me wrong, my Lord. If I were so,
- 2:42:47Speaker 4: he might have bought me at a common price. Do
- 2:42:49Speaker 4: not believe him. Oh, behold this ring, whose high respect
- 2:42:54Speaker 4: and rich validity did lack a parallel yet for all
- 2:42:58Speaker 4: that he gave it to a commoner the camp, if
- 2:43:00Speaker 4: I be one.
- 2:43:02Speaker 15: He blushes? And is it of six preceding ancestors that
- 2:43:08Speaker 15: jem conferred by testament to the sequent issue? Has it
- 2:43:12Speaker 15: been old and worn? This is his wife that rings
- 2:43:18Speaker 15: a thousand proofs?
- 2:43:20Speaker 19: Methought you said you saw one here in court? Could
- 2:43:23Speaker 19: witness it?
- 2:43:24Speaker 4: I did, my lord, but loathe and to produce so
- 2:43:27Speaker 4: bad an instrument. His name's parolus.
- 2:43:31Speaker 19: I saw the man today, If man he be, find
- 2:43:36Speaker 19: him and bring him hither exit an attendant?
- 2:43:40Speaker 16: What of him he's quoted for a most perfidious slave,
- 2:43:44Speaker 16: all the spots of the world, tax and debauched, whose
- 2:43:47Speaker 16: nature seconds? But to speak a truth?
- 2:43:49Speaker 11: Am I that? All this?
- 2:43:50Speaker 16: Or what he'll utter? That will speak anything?
- 2:43:53Speaker 19: She hath that ring of yours?
- 2:43:55Speaker 16: I think she has certain it is. I liked her
- 2:44:00Speaker 16: and boarded her in the wanton way of youth. She
- 2:44:05Speaker 16: knew her distance and did angle for me, maddening my
- 2:44:10Speaker 16: eagerness with her restraint, as all impediments in fancy's course
- 2:44:14Speaker 16: are motives of more fancy, and in fine, her infinite cunning,
- 2:44:19Speaker 16: with her modern grace, subdued me to her rate. She
- 2:44:25Speaker 16: got the ring, and I had that which any inferior
- 2:44:29Speaker 16: might at market place have bought.
- 2:44:31Speaker 4: I must be patient you that have turned off a
- 2:44:34Speaker 4: first so noble wife may justly die at me. I
- 2:44:38Speaker 4: pray you, Yet, since you lack virtue, I will lose
- 2:44:42Speaker 4: a husband. Send for your ring. I will return at
- 2:44:45Speaker 4: home and give me mine again.
- 2:44:47Speaker 7: I have it.
- 2:44:49Speaker 19: Not what ring was yours?
- 2:44:51Speaker 4: I pray you, sir, much like the same upon your finger.
- 2:44:56Speaker 19: Know you this ring, this ring was his of late,
- 2:45:01Speaker 19: and this.
- 2:45:01Speaker 4: Was it I gave him being a bed.
- 2:45:04Speaker 19: The story then goes false. You threw it him out
- 2:45:07Speaker 19: of a casement.
- 2:45:08Speaker 4: I have spoke the truth.
- 2:45:11Speaker 16: Enterperolis, my lord, I do confess the ring was hers.
- 2:45:20Speaker 19: You boggle shrewdly. Every feathers tars you. Is this the
- 2:45:25Speaker 19: man you speak of? I, my lord, tell me Sarah,
- 2:45:28Speaker 19: But tell me true. I charge you not fearing the
- 2:45:32Speaker 19: displeasure of your master, which on your just proceeding, I'll
- 2:45:35Speaker 19: keep off by him and by this woman here?
- 2:45:39Speaker 20: What know you?
- 2:45:40Speaker 18: So please, your majesty, My master hath been an honorable gentleman.
- 2:45:44Speaker 18: The tricks he had in him, which gentlemen.
- 2:45:47Speaker 19: Have come come to the purpose.
- 2:45:50Speaker 18: Did he love this woman, faith, Sir, he did love her.
- 2:45:54Speaker 19: But how how I pray you?
- 2:45:58Speaker 18: He did love her, Sir, as a gentleman loves a woman.
- 2:46:03Speaker 18: How is that he loved her, Sir? And loved her?
- 2:46:08Speaker 19: Not as thou art a nave and no knave? What
- 2:46:12Speaker 19: an equivocal companion is this?
- 2:46:15Speaker 11: He's a good drum, my lord, but a naughty aurator.
- 2:46:21Speaker 4: Do you know he promised me marriage?
- 2:46:24Speaker 18: Faith?
- 2:46:24Speaker 19: I know more than i'll speak, But wilt thou not
- 2:46:27Speaker 19: speak all thou knowest?
- 2:46:29Speaker 18: Yes, so please, your majesty. I did go between them,
- 2:46:33Speaker 18: as I said, But more than that he loved her,
- 2:46:38Speaker 18: For indeed he was mad for her, and talked of
- 2:46:40Speaker 18: Satan and of Limbo and the furies. And I know
- 2:46:43Speaker 18: not what yet I was in that credit with them
- 2:46:47Speaker 18: at that time that I knew of their going to bed,
- 2:46:50Speaker 18: and of other motions as promising her marriage, and things
- 2:46:55Speaker 18: which would derive me ill will to speak of. Therefore,
- 2:46:59Speaker 18: I will not speak what I know.
- 2:47:01Speaker 19: Thou hast spoken all already, unless thou canst say they
- 2:47:04Speaker 19: are married. But thou art too fine in thy evidence.
- 2:47:08Speaker 19: Therefore stand aside this ring you say was yours? I
- 2:47:13Speaker 19: my good lord, where did you buy it, or who
- 2:47:16Speaker 19: gave it to you?
- 2:47:18Speaker 4: It was not given me, nor I did not buy it.
- 2:47:21Speaker 19: Who lent it you?
- 2:47:22Speaker 4: It was not lent me.
- 2:47:23Speaker 19: Neither where did you find it?
- 2:47:26Speaker 7: Then?
- 2:47:27Speaker 19: I found it not if it were yours, by none
- 2:47:30Speaker 19: of all these ways, how could you give it him?
- 2:47:33Speaker 4: I never gave it him.
- 2:47:34Speaker 11: This woman's an easy glove, my lord. She goes off
- 2:47:39Speaker 11: and on at pleasure.
- 2:47:41Speaker 19: This ring was mine. I gave it his first wife.
- 2:47:45Speaker 4: It might be yours or hers, for aught, I know,
- 2:47:48Speaker 4: take her away.
- 2:47:49Speaker 19: I do not like her now to prison with her,
- 2:47:52Speaker 19: and away with him. Unless thou tell'st me where thou
- 2:47:55Speaker 19: hadst this ring? Thou diest within the hour, I'll.
- 2:47:58Speaker 4: Never tell you.
- 2:47:59Speaker 19: Take away.
- 2:48:01Speaker 4: I'll put in bail, my liege.
- 2:48:02Speaker 19: I think thee now some common customer.
- 2:48:05Speaker 4: By jove, if ever I knew man twas you.
- 2:48:08Speaker 19: Wherefore hast thou accused him all this while?
- 2:48:11Speaker 4: Because he's guilty and he is not guilty. He knows
- 2:48:14Speaker 4: I am no maid, and he'll swear to it. I'll
- 2:48:17Speaker 4: swear I am a maid, and he knows not, Great King,
- 2:48:20Speaker 4: I am no strumpet. By my life, I am either
- 2:48:23Speaker 4: made or else. This old man's wife.
- 2:48:25Speaker 19: She does abuse our ears to prison with her good mother.
- 2:48:29Speaker 4: Fetch my bail, stay royal sir, exit widow. The jeweler
- 2:48:34Speaker 4: that owes the ring is sent for, and he shall
- 2:48:36Speaker 4: shorty me. But for this lord who hath abused me,
- 2:48:40Speaker 4: as he knows himself, though yet he never harmed me.
- 2:48:43Speaker 4: Here I quit him. He knows himself my bed he
- 2:48:47Speaker 4: hath defiled, And at that time he got his wife
- 2:48:50Speaker 4: with childs dead. Though she be she feels her young
- 2:48:54Speaker 4: one kick. So there's my riddle. One that's dead, is quick,
- 2:48:59Speaker 4: and now hold the meaning re enter.
- 2:49:02Speaker 1: Widow with Helena?
- 2:49:04Speaker 19: Is there no exorcist beguiles the truer office of mine eyes?
- 2:49:08Speaker 19: Is it real that I see?
- 2:49:10Speaker 17: No, my good lord, tis but a shadow of a wife.
- 2:49:14Speaker 17: You see the name and.
- 2:49:16Speaker 8: Not the thing both.
- 2:49:20Speaker 16: Both?
- 2:49:22Speaker 17: Oh pardon, oh, my good lord. When I was like
- 2:49:27Speaker 17: this maid, I found you, wondrous kind. There is your ring,
- 2:49:32Speaker 17: and look you here's your letter. This it says, when
- 2:49:37Speaker 17: from my finger you can get this ring, and you
- 2:49:39Speaker 17: are by me with child et cetera. This is done.
- 2:49:45Speaker 17: Will you be mine?
- 2:49:46Speaker 5: Now?
- 2:49:46Speaker 17: You are doubly one.
- 2:49:48Speaker 16: If she, my liege, can make me know this clearly,
- 2:49:54Speaker 16: I'll love her dearly, ever ever.
- 2:50:00Speaker 17: Dearly, if it appear not plain and prove untrue, deadly divorce.
- 2:50:06Speaker 17: Step between me and you, Oh my dear mother, do
- 2:50:11Speaker 17: I see you living?
- 2:50:15Speaker 20: Oh?
- 2:50:15Speaker 11: Mine eyes smell onions. I shall weep.
- 2:50:19Speaker 1: Anong to perolis.
- 2:50:23Speaker 11: Good Tom drum, lend me a handkerchief, so I thank THEE.
- 2:50:31Speaker 11: Wait on me home. I'll make sport with thee. Let
- 2:50:36Speaker 11: thy courtesies alone, they are scathy ones.
- 2:50:42Speaker 19: Let us from point to point this story know to
- 2:50:44Speaker 19: make thee even truth in pleasure flow to Diana. If
- 2:50:50Speaker 19: thou beast yet a fresh and crop flow, Choose thou,
- 2:50:53Speaker 19: thy husband, and I'll pay thy dow, for I can
- 2:50:57Speaker 19: guess that by thy honest aid, thou keeps to wife herself,
- 2:51:02Speaker 19: thyself a maid of that, and all the progress more
- 2:51:06Speaker 19: or less Resolvedly more leisure shall express all yet seems well,
- 2:51:12Speaker 19: And if it end, so meet the bitter past. More
- 2:51:16Speaker 19: welcome is the sweet flourish. The King's a beggar. Now
- 2:51:21Speaker 19: the play is done, All is well ended. If this
- 2:51:25Speaker 19: suit be one that you express content, which we will
- 2:51:28Speaker 19: pay with strife to please you, day exceeding day. Ours
- 2:51:33Speaker 19: be your patience then, and yours are parts your gentle
