Fear it not, sir. I would I were so sure
2.4.31145To win the King as I am bold her honor
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,
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
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
2.4.201164In 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
Enter Iachimo
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
To make your vessel nimble. Welcome, sir.
I hope the briefness of your answer made
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
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
When you were there? He was expected then,
But not approached. 1191Posthumus [Aside] All is well yet. --
2.4.411192Sparkles this stone as it was wont, or is't not
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,
Your lady being so easy. Make not, sir,
2.4.491203Your loss, your sport. I hope you know that we
Must not continue friends. Good sir, we must
2.4.521207The knowledge of your mistress home, I grant
2.4.551210Together with your ring, and not the wronger
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
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
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,
2.4.731231And 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
Since the true life on't was -- This is true,
2.4.791238And this you might have heard of here by me
Or by some other. More particulars
Must justify my knowledge. So they must,
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:
Motion and breath left out. This is a thing
2.4.881251Which you might from relation likewise reap,
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
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
The wager you have laid. Then if you can
2.4.981264Be pale, I beg but leave to air this jewel:
[Shows bracelet]
Be pale, I beg but leave to air this jewel: See,
2.4.991265And now 'tis up again. It must be married
To that your diamond. I'll keep them. Jove --
Which I left with her? Sir, I thank her that
2.4.1031271She stripped it from her arm; I see her yet.
And said she prized it once. Maybe she plucked it off
To send it me. She writes so to you? Doth she?
Oh, no, no, no, 'tis true. Here, take this, too;
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.
Oh, above measure false! Have patience, sir,
2.4.1191289Who knows if one her women, being corrupted,
Hath stolen it from her. Very true,
2.4.122[Takes bracelet and possibly ring from Iachimo] 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
2.4.1291299All sworn and honorable: they induced to steal it?
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
2.4.135[Returns bracelet to Iachimo] Sir, be patient.
Of one persuaded well of. Never talk on't:
She hath been colted by him. If you seek
2.4.1401312(Worthy her pressing) lies a mole, right proud
This stain upon her? Aye, and it doth confirm
Were there no more but it. Will you hear more?
Spare your arithmetic;
1322never count the turns:
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;
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
Exit
Her father. I'll do something. Quite besides
2.4.1581334Let's follow him and pervert the present wrath
He hath against himself. With all my heart.
