All's Well That Ends Well (Modern)
[2.5]
But I hope your lordship thinks not him a 1271soldier.
Yes, my lord, and of very valiant approof.
You have it from his own deliverance.
And by other warranted testimony.
Then my dial goes not true; I took this lark 1276for a bunting.
I do assure you, my lord, he is very great in 1278knowledge, and accordingly valiant.
I have then sinned against his experience and 1280transgressed against his valor, and my state that way is 1281dangerous since I cannot yet find in my heart to repent. 1282Here he comes. I pray you make us friends. I will 1283pursue the amity.
[To Bertram] These things shall be done, sir.
[To Bertram] Pray you, sir, who's his tailor?
Sir!
Oh, I know him well, ay, "Sir." He, sir, 's a good 1289workman, a very good tailor.
[Aside to Paroles] Is she gone to the king?
She is.
Will she away tonight?
As you'll have her.
I have writ my letters, casketed my treasure,
A good traveler is something at the latter end 1299of a dinner, but one that lies three-thirds and uses a 1300known truth to pass a thousand nothings with should 1301be once heard and thrice beaten. God save you, 1302captain.
[To Paroles] Is there any unkindness between my lord and 1304you, monsieur?
I know not how I have deserved to run into my 1306lord's displeasure.
You have made shift to run into't, boots and 1308spurs and all, like him that leapt into the custard; and 1309out of it you'll run again, rather than suffer question 1310for your residence.
It may be you have mistaken him, my lord.
And shall do so ever, though I took him at's 1313prayers. Fare you well, my lord, and believe this of 1314me: there can be no kernel in this light nut. The soul 1315of this man is his clothes; trust him not in matter of 1316heavy consequence. I have kept of them tame and know 1317their natures. -- [To Paroles] Farewell, monsieur; I have spoken better 1318of you than you have or will to deserve at my hand, but 1319we must do good against evil.
[Exit Lafeu.]
An idle lord, I swear.
I think so.
Why, do you not know him?
Yes, I do know him well, and common speech
I have, sir, as I was commanded from you,
1330Bertram
I shall obey his will.
1345Helen
Sir, I can nothing say
Come, come, no more of that.
1348Helen
-- And ever shall,
1352Bertram
Let that go.
Pray, sir, your pardon.
Well, what would you say?
I am not worthy of the wealth I owe,
1360Bertram
What would you have?
Something, and scarce so much -- nothing indeed.
Faith, yes --
I pray you stay not, but in haste to horse.
I shall not break your bidding, good my lord.
2.5.70.1Exit [Helen with Attendant].
Go thou toward home, where I will never come
1370Paroles
Corragio!
Bravely. [Exeunt.]
