[273] Beat. Do not swear, and eat it.

Bene. I will swear by it that you love me; and I will 275 make him eat it that says I love not you.

Beat. Will you not eat your word?

Bene. With no sauce that can be devised to it. I protest I love thee.

Beat. Why, then, God forgive me!

280 Bene. What offence, sweet Beatrice?

Beat. You have stayed me in a happy hour: I was about to protest I loved you.

Bene. And do it with all thy heart.

Beat. I love you with so much of my heart, that none 285 is left to protest.

Bene. Come, bid me do any thing for thee.
