1    How now, brother! Where is my cousin, your son?
2    hath he provided this music?

3    He is very busy about it. But, brother, I can tell
4    you strange news that you yet dreamt not of.

5    Are they good?

6    As the event stamps them: but they have a good
7    cover; they show well outward. The prince and Count
8    Claudio, walking in a thick-pleached alley in mine
9    orchard, were thus much overheard by a man of mine:
10   the prince discovered to Claudio that he loved my
11   niece your daughter and meant to acknowledge it
12   this night in a dance: and if he found her
13   accordant, he meant to take the present time by the
14   top and instantly break with you of it.

15   Hath the fellow any wit that told you this?

16   A good sharp fellow: I will send for him; and
17   question him yourself.

18   No, no; we will hold it as a dream till it appear
19   itself: but I will acquaint my daughter withal,
20   that she may be the better prepared for an answer,
21   if peradventure this be true. Go you and tell her of it.
Enter Attendants
22   Cousins, you know what you have to do. O, I cry you
23   mercy, friend; go you with me, and I will use your
24   skill. Good cousin, have a care this busy time.
