20851987Nor let no comforter delight mine eare,

20861988But such a one whose wrongs doe sute with mine.

20871989Bring me a father that so lou'd his child,

20881990Whose ioy of her is ouer-whelmd like mine,

20891991And bid him speake of patience,

20901992Measure his woe the length and bredth of mine,

20911993And let it answer euery straine for straine,

20921994As thus for thus, and such a griefe for such,

20931995In euery lineament, branch, shape, and forme:

20941996If such a one will smile and stroke his beard,

20951997And sorrow, wagge, crie hem, when he should grone,

20961998Patch griefe with prouerbes, make misfortune drunke,

20971999With candle-wasters: bring him yet to me,

20982000And I of him will gather patience:

20992001But there is no such man, for brother, men

21002002Can counsaile, and speake comfort to that griefe,

21012003Which they themselues not feele, but tasting it,

21022004Their counsaile turnes to passion, which before,

21032005Would giue preceptiall medcine to rage,

21042006Fetter strong madnesse in a silken thred,

21052007Charme ach with ayre, and agony with words,

21062008No, no, tis all mens office, to speake patience

21072009To those that wring vnder the loade of sorrow

21082010But no mans vertue nor sufficiencie

21092011To be so morall, when he shall endure

21102012The like himselfe: therefore giue me no counsaile,

21112013My griefes crie lowder then aduertisement.

21122014Brother Therein do men from children nothing differ.

21132015Leonato I pray thee peace, I wil be flesh and bloud,

21142016For there was neuer yet Philosopher,

21152017That could endure the tooth-ake patiently,

21162018How euer they haue writ the stile of gods,

21172019And made a push at chance and sufferance.

21182020Brother Yet bend not all the harme vpon your selfe,

21192021Make those that do offend you, suffer too.

21202022Leonato There thou speakst reason, nay I will do so,

21212023My soule doth tell me, Hero is belied,
