Look at how the characters speak and behave here. How do you think an audience might respond to this part of the play? Refer closely to details from the extract to support your

answer.

Don Pedro In faith, lady, you have a merry heart.

Beatrice Yea, my lord, I thank it, poor fool it keeps on the windy side of care: my cousin tells him in his ear that he is in her heart.

Claudio And so she doth, cousin.

Beatrice Good Lord for alliance: thus goes every one to the world but I, and I am sunburnt, I may sit in a corner and cry, ‘Heigh ho for a husband.’

Don Pedro Lady Beatrice, I will get you one.

Beatrice I would rather have one of your father’s getting: hath your grace ne’er a brother like you? Your father got excellent husbands, if a maid could come by them.

Don Pedro Will you have me, lady?

Beatrice No, my lord, unless I might have another for working-days, your grace is too costly to wear every day: but I beseech your grace pardon me, I was born to speak all mirth, and no matter.

Don Pedro Your silence most offends me, and to be merry, best becomes you, for out a question, you were born in a merry hour.

Beatrice No sure, my lord, my mother cried, but then there was a star danced, and under that was I born: cousins, God give you joy.

Leonato Niece, will you look to those things I told you of?

Beatrice I cry you mercy, uncle: by your grace’s pardon. Exit

Don Pedro By my troth a pleasant spirited lady.

Leonato There’s little of the melancholy element in her, my lord, she is never sad, but when she sleeps, and not ever sad then: for I have heard my daughter say, she hath often dreamed of unhappiness, and waked herself with laughing.

Don Pedro She cannot endure to hear tell of a husband.

Leonato Oh by no means, she mocks all her wooers out of suit.

Don Pedro She were an excellent wife for Benedick.

Leonato Oh Lord, my lord, if they were but a week married, they would talk themselves mad.

your answer.

Llewellyn Up to the preach, you dogs! Avaunt, you cullions!

Pistol Be merciful, great duke, to men of mould! Abate thy rage, abate thy manly rage! Abate thy rage, great duke! Good bawcock, bate thy rage. Use lenity, sweet chuck.

Nym These be good humours! Your honour wins bad humours!

Exeunt [ Pistol, Bardolph and Nym, pursued by Llewellyn ]

Boy As young as I am, I have observed these three swashers. I am boy to them all three, but all they three, though they would serve me, could not be man to me, for indeed three such antics do not amount to a man. For Bardolph, he is white-livered and red-faced, by the means whereof a faces it out but fights not. For Pistol, he hath a killing tongue and a quiet sword, by the means whereof a breaks words and keeps whole weapons. For Nym, he hath heard that men of few words are the best men, and therefore he scorns to say his prayers lest a should be thought a coward, but his few bad words are matched with as few good deeds, for a never broke any man’s head but his own, and that was against a post when he was drunk. They will steal anything and call it purchase. Bardolph stole a lute-case, bore it twelve leagues and sold it for three halfpence. Nym and Bardolph are sworn brothers in filching, and in Calais they stole a fire-shovel. I knew by that piece of service the men would carry coals. They would have me as familiar with men’s pockets as their gloves or their handkerchiefs, which makes much against my manhood if I should take from another’s pocket to put into mine, for it is plain pocketing up of wrongs. I must leave them and seek some better service. Their villainy goes against my weak stomach, and therefore I must cast it up. Exit
