1    But I hope your lordship thinks not him a soldier.

2    Yes, my lord, and of very valiant approof.

3    You have it from his own deliverance.

4    And by other warranted testimony.

5    Then my dial goes not true: I took this lark for a bunting.

6    I do assure you, my lord, he is very great in
7    knowledge and accordingly valiant.

8    I have then sinned against his experience and
9    transgressed against his valour; and my state that
10   way is dangerous, since I cannot yet find in my
11   heart to repent. Here he comes: I pray you, make
12   us friends; I will pursue the amity.

To BERTRAM
13    These things shall be done, sir.

14   Pray you, sir, who's his tailor?

15   Sir?

16   O, I know him well, I, sir; he, sir, 's a good
17   workman, a very good tailor.

Aside to PAROLLES
18    Is she gone to the king?

19   She is.

20   Will she away to-night?

21   As you'll have her.

22   I have writ my letters, casketed my treasure,
23   Given order for our horses; and to-night,
24   When I should take possession of the bride,
25   End ere I do begin.

26   A good traveller is something at the latter end of a
27   dinner; but one that lies three thirds and uses a
28   known truth to pass a thousand nothings with, should
29   be once heard and thrice beaten. God save you, captain.

30   Is there any unkindness between my lord and you, monsieur?

31   I know not how I have deserved to run into my lord's
32   displeasure.

33   You have made shift to run into 't, boots and spurs
34   and all, like him that leaped into the custard; and
35   out of it you'll run again, rather than suffer
36   question for your residence.

37   It may be you have mistaken him, my lord.

38   And shall do so ever, though I took him at 's
39   prayers. Fare you well, my lord; and believe this
40   of me, there can be no kernel in this light nut; the
41   soul of this man is his clothes. Trust him not in
42   matter of heavy consequence; I have kept of them
43   tame, and know their natures. Farewell, monsieur:
44   I have spoken better of you than you have or will to
45   deserve at my hand; but we must do good against evil.

46   An idle lord. I swear.

47   I think so.

48   Why, do you not know him?

49   Yes, I do know him well, and common speech
50   Gives him a worthy pass. Here comes my clog.

51   I have, sir, as I was commanded from you,
52   Spoke with the king and have procured his leave
53   For present parting; only he desires
54   Some private speech with you.

55   I shall obey his will.
56   You must not marvel, Helen, at my course,
57   Which holds not colour with the time, nor does
58   The ministration and required office
59   On my particular. Prepared I was not
60   For such a business; therefore am I found
61   So much unsettled: this drives me to entreat you
62   That presently you take our way for home;
63   And rather muse than ask why I entreat you,
64   For my respects are better than they seem
65   And my appointments have in them a need
66   Greater than shows itself at the first view
67   To you that know them not. This to my mother:
Giving a letter
68   'Twill be two days ere I shall see you, so
69   I leave you to your wisdom.

70   Sir, I can nothing say,
71   But that I am your most obedient servant.

72   Come, come, no more of that.

73   And ever shall
74   With true observance seek to eke out that
75   Wherein toward me my homely stars have fail'd
76   To equal my great fortune.

77   Let that go:
78   My haste is very great: farewell; hie home.

79   Pray, sir, your pardon.

80   Well, what would you say?

81   I am not worthy of the wealth I owe,
82   Nor dare I say 'tis mine, and yet it is;
83   But, like a timorous thief, most fain would steal
84   What law does vouch mine own.

85   What would you have?

86   Something; and scarce so much: nothing, indeed.
87   I would not tell you what I would, my lord:
88   Faith yes;
89   Strangers and foes do sunder, and not kiss.

90   I pray you, stay not, but in haste to horse.

91   I shall not break your bidding, good my lord.

92   Where are my other men, monsieur? Farewell.
Exit HELENA
93   Go thou toward home; where I will never come
94   Whilst I can shake my sword or hear the drum.
95   Away, and for our flight.

96   Bravely, coragio!
