Fear it not, sir. I would I were so sure

2.4.31145To win the King as I am bold her honor

2.4.41146Will remain hers.

Will remain hers. What means do you make to him?

Not any, but abide the change of time,

2.4.61149Quake in the present winter's state and wish

2.4.71150That warmer days would come. In these feared hopes

2.4.81151I barely gratify your love; they failing,

2.4.91152I must die much your debtor.

Your very goodness and your company

2.4.111154O'erpays all I can do. By this your King

2.4.121155Hath heard of Great Augustus; Caius Lucius

2.4.131156Will do's commission throughly. And I think

2.4.141157He'll grant the tribute, send th'arrearages,

2.4.151158Or look upon our Romans, whose remembrance

2.4.161159Is yet fresh in their grief.

Is yet fresh in their grief. I do believe,

2.4.171161Statist though I am none, nor like to be,

2.4.181162That this will prove a war, and you shall hear

2.4.191163The legion now in Gallia sooner landed

2.4.201164In our not-fearing Britain than have tidings

2.4.211165Of any penny tribute paid. Our countrymen

2.4.221166Are men more ordered than when Julius Caesar

2.4.231167Smiled at their lack of skill but found their courage

2.4.241168Worthy his frowning at. Their discipline,

2.4.251169Now wing-led with their courages, will make known

2.4.261170To their approvers they are people such

2.4.271171That mend upon the world.

That mend upon the world. See Iachimo.

The swiftest harts have posted you by land,

2.4.291174And winds of all the corners kissed your sails

2.4.301175To make your vessel nimble.

To make your vessel nimble. Welcome, sir.

I hope the briefness of your answer made

2.4.321178The speediness of your return.

The speediness of your return. Your lady

2.4.331180Is one of the fairest that I have looked upon.

And therewithal the best, or let her beauty

2.4.351182Look through a casement to allure false hearts

2.4.361183And be false with them.

And be false with them. Here are letters for you.

Their tenor good, I trust.

Their tenor good, I trust. 'Tis very like.

Was Caius Lucius in the Britain court

2.4.391188When you were there?

When you were there? He was expected then,

2.4.401190But not approached.

But not approached. 1191Posthumus [Aside]

All is well yet. --

2.4.411192Sparkles this stone as it was wont, or is't not

2.4.421193Too dull for your good wearing?

Too dull for your good wearing? If I have lost it,

2.4.431195I should have lost the worth of it in gold;

2.4.441196I'll make a journey twice as far t'enjoy

2.4.451197A second night of such sweet shortness which

2.4.461198Was mine in Britain, for the ring is won.

The stone's too hard to come by.

The stone's too hard to come by. Not a whit,

2.4.481201Your lady being so easy.

Your lady being so easy. Make not, sir,

2.4.491203Your loss, your sport. I hope you know that we

2.4.501204Must not continue friends.

Must not continue friends. Good sir, we must

2.4.511206If you keep covenant. Had I not brought

2.4.521207The knowledge of your mistress home, I grant

2.4.531208We were to question farther; but I now

2.4.541209Profess myself the winner of her honor,

2.4.551210Together with your ring, and not the wronger

2.4.561211Of her or you, having proceeded but

2.4.571212By both your wills.

By both your wills. If you can make't apparent

2.4.581214That you have tasted her in bed, my hand

2.4.591215And ring is yours. If not, the foul opinion

2.4.601216You had of her pure honor gains or loses

2.4.611217Your sword or mine, or masterless leave both

2.4.621218To who shall find them.

To who shall find them. Sir, my circumstances

2.4.631220Being so near the truth as I will make them

2.4.641221Must first induce you to believe; whose strength

2.4.651222I will confirm with oath, which I doubt not

2.4.661223You'll give me leave to spare when you shall find

2.4.671224You need it not.

You need it not. Proceed.

You need it not. Proceed. First, her bedchamber,

2.4.691227Where I confess I slept not, but profess

2.4.701228Had that was well worth watching. It was hanged

2.4.711229With tapestry of silk and silver; the story,

2.4.721230Proud Cleopatra when she met her Roman

2.4.731231And Cydnus swelled above the banks, or for

2.4.741232The press of boats or pride -- a piece of work

2.4.751233So bravely done, so rich, that it did strive

2.4.761234In workmanship and value, which I wondered

2.4.771235Could be so rarely and exactly wrought

2.4.781236Since the true life on't was --

Since the true life on't was -- This is true,

2.4.791238And this you might have heard of here by me

2.4.801239Or by some other.

Or by some other. More particulars

2.4.811241Must justify my knowledge.

Must justify my knowledge. So they must,

2.4.821243Or do your honor injury.

Or do your honor injury. The chimney

2.4.831245Is south the chamber; and the chimney-piece,

2.4.841246Chaste Dian, bathing. Never saw I figures

2.4.851247So likely to report themselves. The cutter

2.4.861248Was as another Nature; dumb, outwent her:

2.4.871249Motion and breath left out.

Motion and breath left out. This is a thing

2.4.881251Which you might from relation likewise reap,

2.4.891252Being, as it is, much spoke of.

Being, as it is, much spoke of. The roof o'th' chamber

2.4.901254With golden cherubins is fretted. Her andirons --

2.4.911255I had forgot them -- were two winking Cupids

2.4.921256Of silver, each on one foot standing, nicely

2.4.931257Depending on their brands.

Depending on their brands. This is her honor!

2.4.941259Let it be granted you have seen all this (and praise

2.4.951260Be given to your remembrance), the description

2.4.961261Of what is in her chamber nothing saves

2.4.971262The wager you have laid.

The wager you have laid. Then if you can

2.4.981264Be pale, I beg but leave to air this jewel:

Be pale, I beg but leave to air this jewel: See,

2.4.991265And now 'tis up again. It must be married

2.4.1001266To that your diamond. I'll keep them.

To that your diamond. I'll keep them. Jove --

2.4.1011268Once more let me behold it. Is it that

2.4.1021269Which I left with her?

Which I left with her? Sir, I thank her that

2.4.1031271She stripped it from her arm; I see her yet.

2.4.1041272Her pretty action did outsell her gift,

2.4.1051273And yet enriched it, too. She gave it me

2.4.1061274And said she prized it once.

And said she prized it once. Maybe she plucked it off

2.4.1071276To send it me.

To send it me. She writes so to you? Doth she?

Oh, no, no, no, 'tis true. Here, take this, too;

2.4.1101279It is a basilisk unto mine eye,

2.4.1111280Kills me to look on't. Let there be no honor

2.4.1121281Where there is beauty; truth, where semblance; love,

2.4.1131282Where there's another man. The vows of women

2.4.1141283Of no more bondage be to where they are made

2.4.1151284Than they are to their virtues, which is nothing.

2.4.1161285Oh, above measure false!

Oh, above measure false! Have patience, sir,

2.4.1171287And take your ring again; 'tis not yet won.

2.4.1181288It may be probable she lost it, or

2.4.1191289Who knows if one her women, being corrupted,

2.4.1201290Hath stolen it from her.

Hath stolen it from her. Very true,

2.4.1211292And so I hope he came by't. Back, my ring.

2.4.1231293Render to me some corporal sign about her

2.4.1241294More evident than this, for this was stolen.

By Jupiter, I had it from her arm.

Hark you, he swears; by Jupiter he swears.

2.4.1271297'Tis true. Nay, keep the ring; 'tis true. I am sure

2.4.1281298She would not lose it; her attendants are

2.4.1291299All sworn and honorable: they induced to steal it?

2.4.1301300And by a stranger? No; he hath enjoyed her.

2.4.1311301The cognizance of her incontinency

2.4.1321302Is this. She hath bought the name of whore thus dearly.

2.4.1331303There, take thy hire, and all the fiends of hell

2.4.1341304Divide themselves between you.

Sir, be patient.

2.4.1361306This is not strong enough to be believed

2.4.1371307Of one persuaded well of.

Of one persuaded well of. Never talk on't:

2.4.1381309She hath been colted by him.

She hath been colted by him. If you seek

2.4.1391311For further satisfying, under her breast

2.4.1401312(Worthy her pressing) lies a mole, right proud

2.4.1411313Of that most delicate lodging. By my life

2.4.1421314I kissed it, and it gave me present hunger

2.4.1431315To feed again, though full. You do remember

2.4.1441316This stain upon her?

This stain upon her? Aye, and it doth confirm

2.4.1451318Another stain as big as hell can hold,

2.4.1461319Were there no more but it.

Were there no more but it. Will you hear more?

Spare your arithmetic; 1322never count the turns:

2.4.148Once, and a million.

Once, and a million. I'll be sworn --

Once, and a million. I'll be sworn -- No swearing.

2.4.1501325If you will swear you have not done't, you lie;

2.4.1511326And I will kill thee, if thou dost deny

2.4.1521327Thou'st made me cuckold.

Thou'st made me cuckold. I'll deny nothing.

Oh, that I had her here to tear her limb-meal;

2.4.1551330I will go there and do't i'th' court, before

2.4.1561331Her father. I'll do something.

Her father. I'll do something. Quite besides

2.4.1571333The government of patience. You have won.

2.4.1581334Let's follow him and pervert the present wrath

2.4.1591335He hath against himself.

He hath against himself. With all my heart.
