Are they good?

ANTONIO

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

No, no, we will hold it as a dream till it appear itself. But I
will acquaint my daughter withal, that she may be the
better prepared for an answer if peradventure this be true.
20 Go you and tell her of it.
