Intend a kind of zeal both to the Prince and Claudio, as in love of your brothers honor, who hath made be cozened with the semblance of a maid, that you have discovered thus. They will scarcely believe this without trial. Offer them instances, which shall bear no less likelihood than to see me at her chamber window, hear me and bring them to see this the very night before the intended wedding, for in the meantime I will so fashion the matter that Hero shall be absent, and there shall appear such seeming truth of Heros disloyalty that jealousy shall 40 be called assurance and all the preparation overthrown. | IOBCHAOR nidF a etmi to speak htiw oDn edoPr adn oiuldaC lenoa. eTll ethm ouy wonk thta oreH eovls me. rtPende to be evyr cenodrcen tabuo obth het iPcern, who ash rpdoesoimmc his horon by mganik teh hcmat, dna loCiadu, oeswh ruiantopet wlli be edirnu by tsih nowam ohsw dgnipneret to be a grinvi.
