Reading Passage from 'Much Ado About Nothing'
Enter BEATRICE and HERO.
BEATRICE: I wonder that you will still be talking, Signior Benedick. Nobody marks you.
BENEEDICK: What, my dear Lady Disdain! Are you yet living?
BEATRICE: Is it possible, disdain should die, while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick?
BENEEDICK: Courtesy itself must convert to disdain if you come in such a hate-full presence.
BEATRICE: I'faith, I hear too that the lady is fair, but I will not hold myself to such a figure that I may say 'Here is my hand,' and 'Here is my heart.'
BENEEDICK: A proper saying! Fie, fie upon thee, kind lady!
BEATRICE: If you wear a chain, I hope you will not mind it, I will not be your servant.
BENEEDICK: I will have no sovereign's profile on my face if I wear a chain.
BEATRICE: You have a quirk of the mind to take the simpleness for impertinence.
BENEEDICK: I'faith, I am too honest to be cumbered with such a knave.
(They continue exchanging witty remarks and banter in the scene.)
