SCENE 3。 Rousillon。 The COUNT'S palace
Enter COUNTESS�察�STEWARD�察�and CLOWN
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

contented to be what they are�察�there were no fear in marriage�察�for young
Charbon the puritan and old Poysam the papist�察 �howsome'er their hearts
are sever'd in religion�察 �their heads are both one�察 �they may jowl horns
together like any deer i' th' herd。 COUNTESS。 Wilt thou ever be a foul´
mouth'd and calumnious knave�拭 �CLOWN。 A prophet I�察 �madam�察 �and I
speak the truth the next way�此�
For I the ballad will repeat�察 �Which men full true shall find�此 �Your
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�
'Was this fair face the cause' quoth she 'Why the Grecians sacked
Troy�拭 �Fond done�察�done fond�察�Was this King Priam's joy��' With that she
sighed as she stood�察 �With that she sighed as she stood�察 �And gave this
sentence then�此�'Among nine bad if one be good�察�Among nine bad if one be
good�察�There's yet one good in ten。'
COUNTESS。 What�察 �one good in ten�拭�You corrupt the song�察 �sirrah。
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
with the tithe´woman�察�if I were the parson。 One in ten�察�quoth 'a� �An we
might have a good woman born before every blazing star�察 �or at an
earthquake�察�'twould mend the lottery well�此�a man may draw his heart out
ere 'a pluck one。 COUNTESS。 You'll be gone�察 �sir knave�察 �and do as I
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
more near her than I think she wish'd me。 Alone she was�察 �and did

communicate to herself her own words to her own ears�察�she thought�察�I dare
vow for her�察 �they touch'd not any stranger sense。 Her matter was�察 �she
loved your son。 Fortune�察 �she said�察 �was no goddess�察 �that had put such
difference betwixt their two estates�察�Love no god�察�that would not extend
his might only where qualities were level�察�Diana no queen of virgins�察�that
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
e'er I heard virgin exclaim in�察�which I held my duty speedily to acquaint
you withal�察 �sithence�察 �in the loss that may happen�察 �it concerns you
something to know it。 COUNTESS。 YOU have discharg'd this honestly�察�
keep it to yourself。 Many likelihoods inform'd me of this before�察 �which
hung so tott'ring in the balance that I could neither believe nor misdoubt。
Pray you leave me。 Stall this in your bosom�察 �and I thank you for your
honest care。 I will speak with you further anon。 Exit STEWARD
Enter HELENA
Even so it was with me when I was young。 If ever we are nature's�察�
these are ours�察 �this thorn Doth to our rose of youth rightly belong�察 �Our
blood to us�察�this to our blood is born。 It is the show and seal of nature's
truth�察 �Where love's strong passion is impress'd in youth。 By our
remembrances of days foregone�察�Such were our faults�察�or then we thought
them none。 Her eye is sick on't�察 �I observe her now。 HELENA。 What is
your pleasure�察�madam�拭�COUNTESS。 You know�察�Helen�察�I am a mother to
you。 HELENA。 Mine honourable mistress。 COUNTESS。 Nay�察 �a mother。
Why not a mother�拭�When I said 'a mother��' Methought you saw a serpent。
What's in 'mother' That you start at it�拭�I say I am your mother�察�And put
you in the catalogue of those That were enwombed mine。 'Tis often seen
Adoption strives with nature�察�and choice breeds A native slip to us from
foreign seeds。 You ne'er oppress'd me with a mother's groan�察�Yet I express
to you a mother's care。 God's mercy�察�maiden� �does it curd thy blood To say
I am thy mother�拭�What's the matter�察�That this distempered messenger of
wet�察 �The many´colour'd Iris�察 �rounds thine eye�拭 �Why�察 �that you are my
daughter�拭�HELENA。 That I am not。 COUNTESS。 I say I am your mother。
HELENA。 Pardon�察�madam。 The Count Rousillon cannot be my brother�此�I
am from humble�察�he from honoured name�察�No note upon my parents�察�his

his vassal die。 He must not be my brother。 COUNTESS。 Nor I your mother�拭�
HELENA。 You are my mother�察�madam�察�would you were´ So that my lord
your son were not my brother´ Indeed my mother� �Or were you both our
mothers�察�I care no more for than I do for heaven�察�So I were not his sister。
Can't no other�察�But�察�I your daughter�察�he must be my brother�拭�COUNTESS。
