’tis a truth, I can bear them witness; and virtuous; ’tisso, I cannot reprove it; and wise, but for loving me; bymy troth, it is no addition to her wit, nor no greatargument of her folly, for I will be horribly in love withher. I may chance have some odd quirks and remnantsof wit broken on me, because I have railed so long againstmarriage: but doth not the appetite alter? a man lovesthe meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets ofthe brain awe a man from the career of his humor? No,the world must be peopled. When I said I would die abachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married.Here comes Beatrice. By this day! she’s a fair lady:I do spy some marks of love in her.[Enter BEATRICE.]BEATRICE: Against my will I am sent to bid you come into dinner.BENEDICK: Fair Beatrice, I thank you for your pains.BEATRICE: I took no more pains for those thanks thanyou take pains to thank me: if it had been painful, Iwould not have come.Much Ado About Nothing, Act II, scene iiiBEATRICE: Yea, just so much as you may take upon aknife’s point and choke a daw withal. You have no stomach,signior: fare you well.[Exit.]BENEDICK: Ha! ‘Against my will I am sent to bid youcome in to dinner;’ there’s a double meaning in that ‘Itook no more pains for those thanks than you tookpains to thank me.’ that’s as much as to say, Any painsthat I take for you is as easy as thanks. If I do not takepity of her, I am a villain; if I do not love her, I am aJew. I will go get her picture.[Exit.]BENEDICK: You take pleasure then in the message?32
ACT IIISCENE I: LEONATO’S garden.[Enter HERO, MARGARET, and URSULA.]HERO: Good Margaret, run thee to the parlor;There shalt thou find my cousin BeatriceProposing with the prince and Claudio:Whisper her ear and tell her, I and UrsulaWalk in the orchard and our whole discourseIs all of her; say that thou overheard’st us;And bid her steal into the pleached bower,Where honeysuckles, ripen’d by the sun,Forbid the sun to enter, like favorites,Made proud by princes, that advance their prideAgainst that power that bred it: there will she hide her,To listen our purpose. This is thy office;Bear thee well in it and leave us alone.MARGARET: I’ll make her come, I warrant you, presently.[Exit.]HERO: Now, Ursula, when Beatrice doth come,As we do trace this alley up and down,Much Ado About Nothing, Act III, scene i33Our talk must only be of Benedick.When I do name him, let it be thy partTo praise him more than ever man did merit:My talk to thee must be how BenedickIs sick in love with Beatrice. Of this matterIs little Cupid’s crafty arrow made,That only wounds by hearsay.[Enter BEATRICE, behind.]Now begin;For look where Beatrice, like a lapwing, runsClose by the ground, to hear our conference.URSULA: The pleasant’st angling is to see the fishCut with her golden oars the silver stream,And greedily devour the treacherous bait:So angle we for Beatrice; who even nowIs couched in the woodbine coverture.Fear you not my part of the dialogue.HERO: Then go we near her, that her ear lose nothingOf the false sweet bait that we lay for it.[Approaching the bower.]No, truly, Ursula, she is too disdainful;
