Nay, that would be as great a soil in the new gloss of your marriage as to show a child his new coat and forbid him to wear it. I will only be bold with Benedick for his company, for from the crown of his head to the sole of his foot he is all mirth. He hath twice or thrice cut Cupid’s bowstring, and the lite a soman dare hell and his long sath a clapper, for what his heart thinks, his tongue speaks.
BENEDICK Gallants, I am not as I have been.
PRINCE Hang him, truant! There’s no true drop of blood in him to be truly touched with love. If he be sad, he wants money.
BENEDICK I have the toothache.
PRINCE She shall be buried with her face upwards.
