Indeed he looks younger than he did, by the loss of a beard. Nay a rubs himself with civit, can you smell him out by that? That's as much as to say, the sweet youths in love. The greatest note of it is his melancholy. And when was he wont to wash his face? Yea or to paint himself? for the which I hear what they say of him. Nay but his jesting spirit, which is now crept into a lutestring, and now governed by stops. Indeed that tells a heavy tale for him: conclude, conclude he is in love. Nay but I know who loves him. That would I know too, I warrant one that knows him not. Yes, and his ill conditions, and in despite of all, dies for him. She shall be buried with her face upwards. Yet is this no charm for the toothache, old signor, walk aside with me, I have studied eight or nine wise words to speak to you, which these hobby-horses must not hear. For my life to break with him about Beatrice. 'tis even so, Hero and Margaret have by this played their parts with Beatrice, and then the two bears will not bite one another when they meet. My lord and brother, God save you. Good den brother. If your leisure served, I would speak with you. In private? If it please you, yet Count Claudio may hear, for what I would speak of, concerns him. What's the matter? Means your Lordship to be married to morrow? You know he does. I know not that when he knows what I know. If there be any impediment, I pray you discover it. You may think I love you not, let that appear hereafter, and aim better at me by that I now will manifest, for my brother (I think, he holds you well, and in dearness of heart) hath holp to effect your ensuing marriage: surely suit ill spent, and labour ill bestowed. Why what's the matter? I came hither to tell you, and circumstances shortened, (for she has been too long a talking of) the lady is disloyal. Who Hero? Even she, Leonatoes' Hero, your Hero, every man's Hero. Disloyal? The word is too good to paint out her wickedness, I could say she were worse, think you of a worse title, and I will fit her to it: wonder not till further warrant: go but with me to night you shall see her chamber window entered, even the night before her wedding day, if you love her, then to morrow wed her: But it would better fit your honour to change your mind. May this be so? I will not think it. If you dare not trust that you see, confess not that you know: if you will follow me, I will show you enough, and when you have seen more, and heard more, proceed accordingly.
