An old, an old instance Beatrice, that lived in the time of good neighbours, if a man do not erect in this age his own tomb ere he dies, he shall live no longer in monument, than the bell rings, and the widow weeps. And how long is that think you? Question, why an hour in clamour and a quarter in rheum, therefore is it most expedient for the wise, if Don worm (his conscience) find no impediment to the contrary, to be the trumpet of his own virtues, as I am to myself so much for praising myself, who I myself will bear witness is praise worthy, and now tell me, how doth your cousin? Very ill. And how do you? Very ill too. Serve God, love me, and mend, there will I leave you too, for here comes one in haste. Madam, you must come to your uncle, yonder's old coil at home, it is proved my Lady Hero hath been falsely accused, the Prince and Claudio mightily abused, and Don Iohn is the author of all, who is fled and gone: will you come presently? Will you go hear this news signor? I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap, and be buried in thy eyes: and moreover, I will go with thee to thy uncles. Is this the monument of Leonato? It is my Lord. Done to death by slauderous tongues, Was the Hero that here lies: Death in guerdon of her wrongs, Gives her fame which never dies: So the life that died with shame, lives in death with glorious fame. Hang thou there upon the tomb, Praising her when I am dead. Now music sound & sing your solemn hymn. them, but I think they are more flexi Pardon goddesse of the night, Those that slew thy virgin knight, For the which with songs of woe, Round about her tomb they go: Midnight assist our moan, help us to sigh & groan. Heavily heavily. graves yawn and yield your dead, Till death be uttered, Heavily heavily. Now unto thy bones good night, yearly will I do this right. Good morrow masters, put your torches out, The wolves have preied, and look, the gentle day Before the wheels of Phoebus, round about Dapples the drowsy East with spots of grey: Thanks to you all, and leave us, far you well. Good morrow masters, each his several way. Come let us hence, and put on other weeds, And then to Leonatoes' we will go. And Hymen now with luckier issue speeds, Then this for whom we rendered up this woe. Did I not tell you she was innocent? So are the Prince and Claudio who accused her, Upon the error that you heard debated: But Margaret was in some fault for this, Although against her will as it appears, In the true course of all the question.

Done to death by slauderous tongues, Was the Hero that heere lies: Death in guerdon of her wronges, Giues her fame which neuer dies: So the life that dyed with shame, Liues in death with glorious fame. Hang thou there vpon the toomb, Praising hir when I am dead. Now musick sound & sing your solemne hymne. them, but I think they are more flexi Pardon goddesse of the night, Those that slew thy virgin knight, For the which with songs of woe, Round about her tombe they goe: Midnight assist our mone, help vs to sigh & grone.

Good morrow maisters, put your torches out, The wolues haue preied, and looke, the gentle day Before the wheeles of Phoebus, round about Dapples the drowsie East with spots of grey: Thanks to you al, and leaue vs, fare you well. Good morrow masters, each his seuerall way. Come let vs hence, and put on other weedes, And then to Leonatoes we will goe. And Hymen now with luckier issue speeds, Then this for whom we rendred vp this woe. Did I not tell you shee was innocent? So are the Prince and Claudio who accusd her, Vpon the errour that you heard debated: But Margaret was in some fault for this, Although against her will as it appeares, In the true course of all the question.
