about Nothing.
10961023Forbid the
sunne to enter: like fauourites,
10971024Made proud by princes, that aduaunce their pride,
10981025Again
st that power that bred it, there will
she hide her,
10991026To li
sten our propo
se, this is thy o
ffice,
11001027Beare thee well in it, and leaue vs alone.
11011028Marg. Ile make her come I warrant you pre
sently.
11021029Hero Now Vr
sula, when Beatrice doth come,
11031030As we do trace this alley vp and downe,
11041031Our talke mu
st onely be of Benedicke,
11051032When I do name him let it be thy part,
11061033To prai
se him more than euer man did merite,
11071034My talke to thee mu
st be how Benedicke,
11081035Is
sicke in loue with Beatrice: of this matter,
11091036Is little Cupids crafty arrow made,
11101037That onely wounds by heare-
say: now begin,
11121038For looke where Beatrice like a Lapwing runs
11131039Clo
se by the ground, to heare our conference.
11141041Vrsula The plea
sant
st angling is to
see the
fish 11151042Cut with her golden ores the
siluer
streame,
11161043And greedily deuoure the treacherous baite:
11171044So angle we for Beatrice, who euen now,
11181045Is couched in the wood-bine couerture,
11191046Feare you not my part of the dialogue.
11201047Hero Then go we neare her that her eare loo
se nothing,
11211048Of the fal
se
sweete baite that we lay for it:
11221049No truly Vr
sula,
she is too di
sdainfull,
11231050I know her
spirits are as coy and wild,
11261053That Benedicke loues Beatrice
so intirely?
11271054Hero So
saies the prince, and my new trothed Lord.
11281055Vrsula And did they bid you tel her of it, madame?
11291056Hero They did intreate me to acquaint her of it,
11301057But I per
swaded them, if they lou'de Benedicke,
11311058To wi
sh him wra
stle with a
ffe
ction,
11321059And neuer to let Beatrice know of it.
