DOGBERRY: God’s my life, where’s the sexton? let himwrite down the prince’s officer coxcomb. Come, bindthem. Thou naughty varlet!CONRADE: Away! you are an ass, you are an ass.DOGBERRY: Dost thou not suspect my place? dost thounot suspect my years? O that he were here to write medown an ass! But, masters, remember that I am an ass;though it be not written down, yet forget not that I aman ass. No, thou villain, thou art full of piety, as shallbe proved upon thee by good witness. I am a wise fellow,and, which is more, an officer, and, which is more,a householder, and, which is more, as pretty a piece offlesh as any is in Messina, and one that knows the law,go to; and a rich fellow enough, go to; and a fellow thathath had losses, and one that hath two gowns and everything handsome about him. Bring him away. O thatI had been writ down an ass![Exeunt.]Much Ado About Nothing, Act V, scene i60ACT VSCENE I: Before LEONATO’S house.[Enter LEONATO and ANTONIO.]ANTONIO: If you go on thus, you will kill yourself:And ’tis not wisdom thus to second griefAgainst yourself.LEONATO:I pray thee, cease thy counsel,Which falls into mine ears as profitlessAs water in a sieve: give not me counsel;Nor let no comforter delight mine earBut such a one whose wrongs do suit with mine.Bring me a father that so loved his child,Whose joy of her is overwhelm’d like mine,And bid him speak of patience;Measure his woe the length and breadth of mineAnd let it answer every strain for strain,As thus for thus and such a grief for such,In every lineament, branch, shape, and form:If such a one will smile and stroke his beard,Bid sorrow wag, cry ‘hem!’ when he should groan,Patch grief with proverbs, make misfortune drunkWith candle-wasters; bring him yet to me,
And I of him will gather patience.But there is no such man: for, brother, menCan counsel and speak comfort to that griefWhich they themselves not feel; but, tasting it,Their counsel turns to passion, which beforeWould give preceptial medicine to rage,Fetter strong madness in a silken thread,Charm ache with air and agony with words:No, no; ’tis all men’s office to speak patienceTo those that wring under the load of sorrow,But no man’s virtue nor sufficiencyTo be so moral when he shall endureThe like himself. Therefore give me no counsel:My griefs cry louder than advertisement.Much Ado About Nothing, Act V, scene iLEONATO: There thou speak’st reason: nay, I will do so.My soul doth tell me Hero is belied;And that shall Claudio know; so shall the princeAnd all of them that thus dishonor her.ANTONIO: Here comes the prince and Claudio hastily.[Enter DON PEDRO and CLAUDIO.]DON PEDRO: Good den, good den.CLAUDIO:LEONATO: Hear you. my lords,—Good day to both of you.ANTONIO: Therein do men from children nothing differ.DON PEDRO:We have some haste, Leonato.LEONATO: I pray thee, peace. I will be flesh andblood;For there was never yet philosopherThat could endure the toothache patiently,However they have writ the style of godsAnd made a push at chance and sufferance.ANTONIO: Yet bend not all the harm upon yourself;Make those that do offend you suffer too.LEONATO: Some haste, my lord! well, fare you well, mylord:Are you so hasty now? well, all is one.DON PEDRO: Nay, do not quarrel with us, good oldman.ANTONIO: If he could right himself with quarrelling,Some of us would lie low.61
