I pray you, is Signior Mountanto returned from the wars or no? [Enter LEONATO] Leonato: I learn in this letter that Don Pedro of Arragon comes this night to Messina. Benedick: He is very near by this; he might have stayed till now. I know none of that name, is there no such man? Leonato: What is he that you ask for, niece? Benedick: My cousin means Signior Benedick of Padua. Leonato: O, he's returned, and as pleasant as ever he was. Benedick: He set up his rest in Messina, and is now going to the war. Leonato: Thou wilt be there, my lad? Benedick: I will necessarily do so. Leonato: Watch you, for these parties of peace! and tell me, how many are there? Benedick: Well, I can tell you; but I am not to be so detailed as you require. Leonato: I pray you, leave me: I have some work to do. [Exit] Benedick: I do much wonder that one man, seeing how much another man is a fool when he dedicates his behaviors to love, will, after he has laughed at such shallow follies in others, become the argument of his own scorn by falling in love himself. [Enter DON PEDRO] Don Pedro: How now, Benedick! I am sorry I should bear so much about you. Benedick: No, faith, for I am not as so soon as I was; but I am now as valiant as Hercules. Don Pedro: Thou hast frighted the word out of my heart. Benedick: Faith, I thank you; and I pray you, share with me the letter that you have sometimes talked of. Don Pedro: I will send it to you presently; but I pray you, be not so bitter against yourself. Benedick: I will not, for I am as well as I am; and I hope you will give me no reason to complain. [Exit] Leonato: I learn in this letter that Don Pedro of Arragon comes this night to Messina. [Stage directions: Enter HERO] Hero: I thank you, niece: I am not well, but I am not so ill as to be unable to speak. Leonato: Come, come; I know you all, and there is none of you but I love you; and when I love you I shall say so. Hero: I am always glad to see you. Leonato: What a beard of victory! I am glad to see you. Hero: I am glad to see you. Leonato: Come, come; I know you all, and there is none of you but I love you; and when I love you I shall say so. Hero: I am always glad to see you. Leonato: What a beard of victory! I am glad to see you. Hero: I am glad to see you.
