ACT III.

Scene I. Venice. A street .

Enter SALANIO and SALARINO .

Salan. Now, what news on the Rialto?
Salar. Why, yet it lives there unchecked that Antonio hath a ship of rich lading wrecked on the narrow seas; the Goodwins, I think they call the place; a very dangerous fiat and fatal, where the carcases of many a tall ship lie buried, as they say, if my gossip Report be an honest woman of her word.

Scene I. Belmont. A room in PORTIA'S house .

Flourish of cornets. Enter the PRINCE OF MOROCCO and his train; PORTIA , NERISSA , and others attending .

Mor. Mislike me not for my complexion,
The shadow'd livery of the burnish'd sun,
To whom I am a neighbour and near bred.
Bring me the fairest creature northward born,
Where Phaebus' fire scarce thaws the icicles,
And let us make incision for your love,
To prove whose blood is reddest, his or mine.
I tell thee, lady, this aspect of mine

ACT I.

Scene I. Venice. A street .

Enter ANTONIO , SALARINO , and SALANIO .

Ant. In sooth, I know not why I am so sad:
It wearies me; you say it wearies you;
But how I caught it, found it, or came by it,
What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born,
I am to learn;
And such a want-wit sadness makes of me,
That I have much ado to know myself.
Salar. Your mind is tossing on the ocean;
There, where your argosies with portly sail,
Like signiors and rich burghers on the flood,

ACT V.

Scene I. Before LEONATO'S house .

Enter LEONATO and ANTONIO .

Ant. If you go on thus, you will kill yourself;
And 'tis not wisdom thus to second grief
Against yourself.
Leon. I pray thee, cease thy counsel,
Which falls into mine ears as profitless
As water in a sieve: give not me counsel;
Nor let no comforter delight mine ear
But 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;

ACT IV.

Enter DON PEDRO , DON JOHN , LEONATO , FRIAR FRANCIS , CLAUDIO , BENEDICK , HERO , BEATRICE , and attendants .

Leon. Come, Friar Francis, be brief; only to the plain form of marriage, and you shall recount their particular duties afterwards.
Friar. You come hither, my lord, to marry this lady.
Claud. No.
Leon. To be married to her: friar, you come to marry her.
Friar. Lady, you come hither to be married to this count.
Hero. I do.

ACT III.

Scene I. LEONATO'S garden .

Enter HERO , MARGARET , and URSULA .

Hero. Good Margaret, run thee to the parlour;
There shalt thou find my cousin Beatrice
Proposing with the prince and Claudio:
Whisper her ear and tell her, I and Ursula
Walk in the orchard and our whole discourse
Is 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 pride

ACT II.

Scene I. A hall in LEONATO'S house .

Enter LEONATO , ANTONIO , HERO , BEATRICE , and others .

Leon. Was not Count John here at supper?
Ant. I saw him not.
Beat. How tartly that gentleman looks! I never can see him but I am heart-burned an hour after.
Hero. He is of a very melancholy disposition.
Beat. 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.

ACT I.

Scene I. Before LEONATO'S house .

Enter LEONATO , HERO , and BEATRICE , with a Messenger.

Leon. I learn in this letter that Don Peter of Arragon comes this night to Messina.
Mess. He is very near by this: he was not three leagues off when I left him.
Leon. How many gentlemen have you lost in this action?
Mess. But few of any sort, and none of name.
Leon. A victory is twice itself when the achiever brings home full numbers. I find here that Don Peter hath bestowed much honour on a young Florentine called Claudio.

ACT V.

Scene I. A room in the Garter Inn .

Enter FALSTAFF and MISTRESS Quickly .

Fal. Prithee, no more prattling; go, I 'll hold. This is the third time; I hope good luck lies in odd numbers. Away! go. They say there is divinity in odd numbers, either in nativity, chance, or death. Away!
Quick. I 'll provide you a chain; and I 'll do what I can to get you a pair of horns.
Fal. Away, I say; time wears: hold up your head, and mince.

Enter FORD . How now, Master Brook! Master
Brook, the matter will be known to-night, or
