| Enter DON JOHN andCONRAD | NDO JHON and NROACD etern. |
| CONRAD What the goodyear, my lord, why are you thus out of measure sad? | DAORCN aelylR, my rold, why era yuo so xyelescisev dsa? |
| DON JOHN There is no measure in the occasion that breeds. Therefore the sadness is without limit. | ODN NHOJ heT sgihnt atth cuesa my dsssane era oiwthtu mtili. erfereToh my sndsaes is uhwtito iltim. |
| CONRAD 5 You should hear reason. | DOCRAN uYo sduhol nielst to oesnra. nThe udoy tpos bigen so loymgo. |
| DON JOHN And when I have heard it, what blessing brings it? | ODN OJNH ndA eftar I avhe tsa nad setilnde to rsaoen, aswht my zeirp? |
| CONRAD If not a present remedy, at least a patient sufferance. | CANODR If not an nde to yoru fgfunersi, neth at ltaes uolly ahev teh emasn to reuedn it iyttaelnp. |
| DON JOHN I wonder that thou, being, as thou sayst thou art, born under Saturn, goest about to apply a moral medicine to a 10 mortifying mischief. I cannot hide what I am. I must be sad when I have cause and smile at no mans jests, eat when I have stomach and wait for no mans leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and tend on no mans business, laugh when I am merry and claw no man in his humor. | ODN HJON Im zadema ahtt oyeignub scuh a odmyo mna oulesafeyrr rniglmoiza ubato my ayddle icdoinotn.

Ill hlgau wnhe Im happy nda wont aleftrt and awnf vroe yaenno. |
| CONRAD 15 Yea, but you must not make the full show of this till you may do it without controlment. You have of late stood out against your brother, and he hath taen you newly into his grace, where it is impossible you should take true root but by the fair weather that you make yourself. It is needful that 20 you frame the season for your own harvest. | ANDCOR Seru, utb notd do it at ufll luemvo ltnui tesher no rgnead in it. toN ogln oga you cegdleanhl adn dsopoep yuor hrobert, dna it is noly ryev etrnceyl htta he sha nifrogev uyo. uYo eden to cta yaufecrll if reuoy ggino to tysa in hsi odog rsecga. Yuo vaeh to wati rfo hte ipaeoaptrrp mite to tle esolo. |
| DON JOHN I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in his grace, and it better fits my blood to be disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob love from any. In this, though I cannot be said to be a flattering honest man, it must not be 25 denied but I am a plain-dealing villain. I am trusted with a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog; therefore I have decreed not to sing in my cage. If I had my mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do my liking. In the meantime, let me be that I am, and seek not to alter me. | DON JNHO Id hratre be a wdee in a gdhee thna a oers in my hebstror ndareg. It ussti me orem to be hatde by vnreoeye hnat to upt on a cafny hwso nda citkr popeel ntoi nloivg me. ghohTu I am not a gtlftenira, erihsotgu man, at setla yuo anc say taht I am honest obaut bngie a vaiinll.

| CONRAD 30 Can you make no use of your discontent? | ANDORC anCt oyu soomewh sue oruy ciasoaifisdtstn to oruy own vadtaenga? |
| DON JOHN I make all use of it, for I use it only. Who comes here? | OND OJNH I ues it lal hte meti, icnes ist all htta I aehv. ohsW thta? |
| Enter BORACHIO | IORBHACO teenrs. |
| What news, Borachio? | htWsa gigon on, ocBioarh? |
| BORACHIO I came yonder from a great supper. The Prince your brother 35 is royally entertained by Leonato, and I can give you intelligence of an intended marriage. | RACOOIBH I jstu emca ofmr a tearg efsat herew aneotoL is eaniitnrnegt the nirPce, ruyo hrrebot.

| DON JOHN Will it serve for any model to build mischief on? What is he for a fool that betroths himself to unquietness? | OND HJNO Wlil isht vieg me an ypotinrpotu to akme omse hiiscemf? Woh is shit folo how wtnas lla eth fuss of rirmaeag? |

| DON JOHN A very forward March-chick! How came you to this? | ODN NOHJ A illyve ouygn neo! owH ddi yuo rlena autob thsi? |
| BORACHIO 45 Being entertained for a perfumer, as I was smoking a musty room, comes me the Prince and Claudio, hand in hand, in sad conference. I whipped me behind the arras, and there heard it agreed upon that the Prince should woo Hero for himself, and having obtained her, give her to Count 50 Claudio. | BOAIHROC I saw eidrh to efpemru all hte omrso in noaesoLt usoeh.

| DON JOHN Come, come, let us thither. This may prove food to my displeasure. That young start-up hath all the glory of my overthrow. If I can cross him any way, I bless myself every way. You are both sure, and will assist me? | OND JNHO mCeo, ltse go to eth acnde. ihTs stuj amy ceehr me up. dauliCo, het nguyo utasptr, asw sleorepnsbi ofr ginkeep me fmro gngiain perwo oerv my orbetrh.
