Bora. Even he.

045 D. John. A proper squire! And who, and who? which way looks he?

[047] Bora. Marry, on Hero, the daughter and heir of Leonato.

[048] D. John. A very forward March-chick! How came you [049] to this?

050 Bora. Being entertained for a perfumer, as I was smoking a musty room, comes me the prince and Claudio, [052] hand in hand, in sad conference: I whipt me behind the arras; and there heard it agreed upon, that the prince should woo Hero for himself, and having obtained her, give 055 her to Count Claudio.

D. 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 [059] every way. You are both sure, and will assist me?

060 Con. To the death, my lord.

D. John. Let us to the great supper: their cheer is the greater that I am subdued. Would the cook were of my mind! Shall we go prove what’s to be done?

Bora. We’ll wait upon your lordship. [Exeunt.
