       COUNTESS。   I   will   now   hear�察  �what   say   you   of   this   gentlewoman�拭�

STEWARD。   Madam�察  �the   care   I   have   had   to   even   your   content   I   wish 

might be found in the calendar of my past endeavours�察�for then we wound 

our   modesty�察  �and   make   foul   the   clearness   of   our   deservings�察  �when   of 

ourselves we publish them。 COUNTESS。 What does this knave here�拭�Get 

you gone�察�sirrah。 The complaints I have heard of you I do not all believe�察�

'tis   my  slowness   that   I   do   not�察  �for   I   know  you   lack not   folly  to   commit 

them and have ability enough to make such knaveries yours。 CLOWN。 'Tis 

not unknown to you�察�madam�察�I am a poor fellow。 COUNTESS。 Well�察�sir。 

CLOWN。 No�察�madam�察�'tis not so well that I am poor�察�though many of the 

rich are damn'd�察�but if I may have your ladyship's good will to go to the 

world�察�Isbel the woman and I will do as we may。 COUNTESS。 Wilt thou 

needs    be   a  beggar�拭   �CLOWN。       I  do  beg   your   good    will  in  this  case。 

COUNTESS。          In  what   case�拭  �CLOWN。        In  Isbel's  case  and   mine    own。 

Service is no heritage�察�and I think I shall never have the blessing of God 

till I have issue o' my body�察�for they say bames are blessings。 COUNTESS。 

Tell me thy reason why thou wilt marry。 CLOWN。 My poor body�察�madam�察�

requires it。 I am driven on by the flesh�察�and he must needs go that the devil 

drives。   COUNTESS。   Is   this   all   your   worship's   reason�拭  �CLOWN。   Faith�察�

madam�察�I have other holy reasons�察�such as they are。 COUNTESS。 May the 

world know them�拭�CLOWN。 I have been�察�madam�察�a wicked creature�察�as 

you and all flesh and blood are�察�and�察�indeed�察�I do marry that I may repent。 

COUNTESS。 Thy marriage�察�sooner than thy wickedness。 CLOWN。 I am 

out   o'   friends�察  �madam�察  �and   I   hope   to   have   friends   for   my   wife's   sake。 

COUNTESS。          Such    friends  are   thine  enemies�察   �knave。    CLOWN。       Y'are 

shallow�察 �madam´in   great   friends�察  �for the   knaves   come   to   do   that   for   me 

which I am aweary of。 He that ears my land spares my team�察�and gives me 

leave to in the crop。 If I be his cuckold�察�he's my drudge。 He that comforts 

my wife is the cherisher of my flesh and blood�察�he that cherishes my flesh 

and blood loves my flesh and blood�察�he that loves my flesh and blood is 

my   friend�察  �ergo�察  �he   that   kisses   my   wife   is   my   friend。   If   men   could   be

are   sever'd   in   religion�察  �their   heads   are   both   one�察  �they   may   jowl   horns

mouth'd   and   calumnious   knave�拭  �CLOWN。   A   prophet   I�察  �madam�察  �and   I 

speak the truth the next way�此�

marriage comes by destiny�察�Your cuckoo sings by kind。 

       COUNTESS。          Get   you    gone�察  �sir�察 �I'll  talk  with   you    more    anon。 

STEWARD。 May it please you�察�madam�察�that he bid Helen come to you。 Of 

her   I   am   to   speak。   COUNTESS。   Sirrah�察  �tell   my   gentlewoman   I   would 

speak with her�察�Helen I mean。 CLOWN。 ��Sings�А�

Troy�拭  �Fond   done�察�done   fond�察�Was   this   King   Priam's   joy��' With   that   she

CLOWN。   One   good   woman   in   ten�察  �madam�察  �which   is   a   purifying   o'   th' 

song。 Would God would serve the world so all the year� �We'd find no fault

command you。 CLOWN。 That man should be at woman's command�察�and 

yet no hurt done� �Though honesty be no puritan�察�yet it will do no hurt�察�it 

will wear the surplice of humility over the black gown of a big heart。 I am 

going�察    �forsooth。     The    business     is  for   Helen     to  come     hither。    Exit 

COUNTESS。          Well�察   �now。   STEWARD。         I  know�察   �madam�察    �you   love   your 

gentlewoman entirely。 COUNTESS。 Faith I do。 Her father bequeath'd her 

to me�察�and she herself�察�without other advantage�察�may lawfully make title to 

as much love as she finds。 There is more owing her than is paid�察�and more 

shall be paid her than she'll demand。 STEWARD。 Madam�察�I was very late

difference betwixt their two estates�察�Love no god�察�that would not extend

would suffer her poor knight surpris'd without rescue in the first assault�察�or 

ransom afterward。 This she deliver'd in the most bitter touch of sorrow that
