Much Ado About Nothing

"Tis certain so, the Prince woos for himself.

Friendship is constant in all other things

Save in the office and affairs of love;

Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues.

Let every eye negotiate for itself,

And trust no agent; for beauty is a witch

Against whose charms faith melteth into blood."

Claudio

"I have broke with her father,

and his good will obtain'd. Name the day of marriage,

and God give thee joy!"

Don Pedro

"Silence is the perfectest heralt of joy; I

were but little happy, if I could say how much!

Lady, you are mine, I am yours. I give away

myself for you, and dote upon the exchange."

Claudio

Much Ado About Nothing

". . . Go but with me to-night, you

shall see her chamber-window ent'red, even the night before her wedding-day. If you love her then,

to-morrow wed her; but it would be better fit your

honor to change your mind."

Don John

A: "For this I owe you: here comes other reck'nings.

Which is the lady I must seize upon?"

B: "This same is she, and I do give you her."

A: "Why then she's mine. Sweet, let me see your face."

"You must not, sir, mistake my niece. There

is a kind of merry war betwixt Signior Benedick

and her; they never meet but there's a skirmish of wit between them."

Leonato

I.i.61-64

Much Ado About Nothing

"He set up bills here in Messina, and

challeng'd Cupid at the flight, and my uncle's

fool, reading the challenge, subscrib'd for Cupid,

and challeng'd him at the burbolt. I pray you, how

many hath he kill'd and eaten in these wars? But

how many hath he kill'd? for indeed I promis'd to eat

all of his killing."

Beatrice

I.i.39-45

"Alas, he gets nothing by that. In our last

conflict four of his five wits went halting off, and now is the whole man govern'd with one; so that 

if he have wit enough to keep himself warm, let

him bear it for a difference between himself and

his horse, for it is all the walth that he hath left

to be known a reaonable creature. Who is his

companion now? he hath every month a new sworn

brother."

Beatrice

A: "Come, lady, come, you have lost the

heart of Signior Benedick."

B: "Indeed, my lord, he lent it to me awhile, and

I gave him use for it, a double heart for his single

one. Marry, once beofre he won it of me with false

dice, therefore your Grace may well say I have

lost it."

A: Don Pedro

B: Beatrice

II.i.276-282

Much Ado About Nothing

"Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,

Men were deceivers ever,

One foot in sea, and one on shore,

To one thing constant never.

Then sigh not so, but let them go,

And be you blithe and bonny,

Converting all your sounds of woe

Into hey nonny nonny."

Balthazar

II.iii.62-69

"With a good leg and a good foot, uncle,

and money enough in his purse, such a man would

win any woman in the world, if 'a could get her

good will."

Beatrice (about Benedick)

II.i.14-17

Much Ado About Nothing

"One woman

is fair, yet I am well; another is wise, yet I am

well; another virtuous, yet I am well; but till all

graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come

in my grace. Rich she shall be, that's certain;

wise, or I'll none; virtuous, or I'll never cheapen

her; fair, or I'll never look on her; mild, or come

not near me; noble, or not I for an angel; of good

discourse, an excellent musician, and her hair shall

be of what color it please God."

Benedick

II.iii.26-35

Much Ado About Nothing

"This can be no trick:

the conference was sadly borne; they have

the truth of this from Hero; they seem to pity the

lady. It seems her affections have their full bent.

Love me? why, it must be requited."

Benedick

Much Ado About Nothing

A: "I love you with so much of my heart that

none is left to protest."
