D. Pedro. Thou wilt be like a lover presently,

265 And tire the hearer with a book of words.

If thou dost love fair Hero, cherish it;

[267] And I will break with her and with her father,

[268] And thou shalt have her. Was’t not to this end

[269] That thou began’st to twist so fine a story?

[270] Claud. How sweetly you do minister to love,

That know love’s grief by his complexion!

But lest my liking might too sudden seem,

I would have salved it with a longer treatise.
