Act 5 Part 2

Question 1

VERGES
Here, here comes master Signior Leonato, and the Sexton too.

Answer 1

LEONATO
Which is the villain? let me see his eyes, That, when I note another man like him, I may avoid him: which of these is he?

Question 2

BORACHIO
If you would know your wronger, look on me.

Answer 2

LEONATO
Art thou the slave that with thy breath hast kill’d
Mine innocent child?

Question 3

BORACHIO
Yea, even I alone.

Answer 3

LEONATO
No, not so, villain; thou beliest thyself:
Here stand a pair of honourable men;
A third is fled, that had a hand in it.
I thank you, princes, for my daughter’s death:
Record it with your high and worthy deeds:
‘Twas bravely done, if you bethink you of it.

Question 4

DON PEDRO
By my soul, nor I:
And yet, to satisfy this good old man, I would bend under any heavy weight That he’ll enjoin me to.

Answer 4

LEONATO
I cannot bid you bid my daughter live;
That were impossible: but, I pray you both,
Possess the people in Messina here How innocent she died; and if your love Can labour ought in sad invention, Hang her an epitaph upon her tomb And sing it to her bones, sing it to-night:
To-morrow morning come you to my house, And since you could not be my son-in-law, Be yet my nephew: my brother hath a daughter, Almost the copy of my child that’s dead, And she alone is heir to both of us:
Give her the right you should have given her cousin, And so dies my revenge.

Question 5

CLAUDIO
I do embrace your offer; and dispose For henceforth of poor Claudio.

Answer 5

LEONATO
To-morrow then I will expect your coming;
To-night I take my leave. This naughty man Shall face to face be brought to Margaret, Who I believe was pack’d in all this wrong, Hired to it by your brother.

Question 6

DOGBERRY
Moreover, sir, which indeed is not under white and black, this plaintiff here, the offender, did call
me ass: I beseech you, let it be remembered in his punishment.

Answer 6

LEONATO
I thank thee for thy care and honest pains.

Question 7

DOGBERRY
Your worship speaks like a most thankful and reverend youth; and I praise God for you.

Answer 7

LEONATO
There’s for thy pains.

Question 8

VERGES
God save the foundation!

Answer 8

LEONATO
Go, I discharge thee of thy prisoner, and I thank thee.

Question 9

DOGBERRY
I leave an arrant knave with your worship; which I beseech your worship to correct yourself, for the example of others. God keep your worship! I wish your worship well; God restore you to health! I humbly give you leave to depart; and if a merry meeting may be wished, God prohibit it! Come, neighbour.

Answer 9

Exeunt DOGBERRY and VERGES
LEONATO
Until to-morrow morning, lords, farewell.

Question 10

ANTONIO
Farewell, my lords: we look for you to-morrow.
DON PEDRO
We will not fail.

Answer 10

LEONATO
[To the Watch] Bring you these fellows on.
