Can you make no use of your discontent? I make all use of it, for I use it only, Who comes here? what news Borachio? I came yonder from a great supper, the prince your brother is royally entertained by Leonato, and I can give you intelligence of an intended marriage. Will it serve for any model to build mischief on? what is he for a fool that betrothes himself to unquietness? Mary it is your bothers' right hand. Who, the most exquisite Claudio? Even he. A proper squire, and who, and who, which way looks he? Mary one Hero the daughter and heir of Leonato. A very forward March-chicke, how came you to this? Being entertained for a perfumer, as I was smoking a musty room, comes me the prince and Claudio, hand in hand in sad conference: I whipped me behind the arras, and there heard it agreed upon, that the prince should woo Hero for himself, and having obtained her, give her to Count Claudio. Come, come, let us thither, this may prove food to my displeasure, that young start up hath all the glory of my overthrow: if I can cross him any way, I bless myself every way, you are both sure, and will assist me. To the death my Lord. Let us to the great supper, their cheer is the greater that I am subdued, would the cook were a my mind, shall we go prove what's to be done? we'll wait upon your lordship. Was not count Iohn here at supper? I saw him not. How tartely that gentleman looks, I never can see him but I am heart-burned an hour after. He is of a very melancholy disposition. He were an excellent man that were made just in the midway between him and Benedick, the one is too like an image and says nothing, and the other too like my lady's eldest son, evermore tattling. Then half signor Benedickes tongue in Count Iohns mouth, and half Count Iohns melancholy in signor Benedickes' face. With a good leg and a good foot uncle, and money enough in his purse, such a man would win any woman in the world if a could get her good will. By my troth niece thou wilt never get thee a husband, if thou be so shrewd of thy tongue. Infaith she's too cursed. Too cursed is more than cursed, I shall lessen Gods sending that way, for it is said, God sends a cursed cow short horns, but to a cow too cursed, he sends none. So, by being too cursed, God will send you no horns. Just, if he send me no husband, for the which blessing, I am at him upon my knees every morning and evening: Lord, I could not endure a husband with a beard on his face, I had rather lie in the woollen! You may light on a husband that hath no beard.
