D. Pedro. Why, how now, count! wherefore are you sad?
Claud. Not sad, my lord.
260 D. Pedro. How then? sick?
Claud. Neither, my lord.
Beat. The count is neither sad, nor sick, nor merry, [263] nor well; but civil count, civil as an orange, and something [264] of that jealous complexion.
265 D. Pedro. I’ faith, lady, I think your blazon to be true; [266] though, I’ll be sworn, if he be so, his conceit is false. Here, Claudio, I have wooed in thy name, and fair Hero [268] is won: I have broke with her father, and his good will obtained: name the day of marriage, and God give thee 270 joy!
Leon. Count, take of me my daughter, and with her my fortunes: his Grace hath made the match, and all grace say Amen to it.
Beat. Speak, count, ’tis your cue.
275 Claud. Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much. Lady, as you are mine, I am yours: I give away myself for you, and dote upon the exchange.
Beat. Speak, cousin; or, if you cannot, stop his mouth 280 with a kiss, and let not him speak neither.
