  BERTRAM。 My wife; my liege! I shall beseech your Highness; In such a
  business give me leave to use The help of mine own eyes。 KING。 Know'st
  thou not; Bertram; What she has done for me? BERTRAM。 Yes; my good
  lord;    But   never   hope    to  know    why   I   should    marry   her。   KING。    Thou
  know'st she has rais'd me from my sickly bed。 BERTRAM。 But follows it;
  my lord; to bring me down Must answer for your raising? I know her well:
  She had her breeding   at   my father's   charge。 A poor  physician's daughter
  my   wife!   Disdain   Rather   corrupt   me       ever!   KING。   'Tis   only   title  thou
  disdain'st in her; the which I can build up。 Strange is it that our bloods; Of
  colour;     weight;    and   heat;   pour'd   all  together;    Would     quite   confound
  distinction;   yet   stand   off   In   differences   so   mighty。   If   she   be All   that   is
  virtuous…save what thou dislik'st; A poor physician's daughter…thou dislik'st
  Of virtue for the name; but do not so。 From lowest place when virtuous
  things   proceed;   The   place   is   dignified   by   the   doer's   deed;   Where   great
  additions swell's; and virtue none; It is a dropsied honour。 Good alone Is
  good without a name。 Vileness is so: The property by what it is should go;
  Not by the title。 She is young; wise; fair; In these to nature she's immediate
  heir; And   these   breed   honour。   That   is   honour's   scorn   Which   challenges
  itself as honour's born And is not like the sire。 Honours thrive When rather
  from   our   acts   we   them   derive   Than   our   fore…goers。   The   mere   word's   a
  slave; Debauch'd on every tomb; on every grave A lying trophy; and as oft
  is dumb Where dust and damn'd oblivion is the tomb Of honour'd bones
  indeed。 What should be said? If thou canst like this creature as a maid; I
  can create the rest。 Virtue and she Is her own dower; honour and wealth
  from   me。   BERTRAM。   I   cannot   love   her;   nor   will   strive   to   do   't。   KING。
  Thou wrong'st thyself; if thou shouldst strive to choose。 HELENA。 That
  you    are   well   restor'd;  my   lord;   I'm  glad。   Let   the  rest  go。   KING。     My
  honour's   at   the   stake;   which   to   defeat;   I   must   produce   my   power。   Here;
  take her hand; Proud scornful boy; unworthy this good gift; That dost in
  vile misprision shackle up My love   and her desert; that canst not   dream
  We; poising us in her defective scale; Shall weigh thee to the beam; that

  wilt not know It is in us to plant thine honour where We please to have it
  grow。   Check   thy   contempt;   Obey   our   will;   which   travails   in   thy   good;
  Believe not thy disdain; but presently Do thine own fortunes that obedient
  right Which   both   thy   duty   owes   and   our   power   claims;   Or   I   will   throw
  thee   from   my   care   for   ever   Into   the   staggers   and   the   careless   lapse   Of
  youth and ignorance; both my revenge and hate Loosing upon thee in the
  name      of   justice;   Without     all  terms    of   pity。  Speak;     thine   answer。
  BERTRAM。 Pardon; my gracious lord; for I submit My fancy to your eyes。
  When I consider What great creation and what dole of honour Flies where
  you bid it; I find that she which late Was in my nobler thoughts most base
  is now The praised of the King; who; so ennobled; Is as 'twere born so。
  KING。 Take her by the hand; And tell her she is thine; to whom I promise
  A counterpoise; if not to thy estate A balance more replete。 BERTRAM。 I
  take her hand。 KING。 Good fortune and the favour of the King Smile upon
  this contract; whose ceremony Shall seem expedient on the now…born brief;
  And be perform'd to…night。 The solemn feast Shall more attend upon the
  coming space; Expecting absent friends。 As thou lov'st her; Thy love's to
  me religious; else; does err。 Exeunt all but LAFEU and PAROLLES who
  stay behind; commenting of this wedding LAFEU。 Do you hear; monsieur?
  A word with you。 PAROLLES。 Your pleasure; sir? LAFEU。 Your lord and
  master   did   well   to   make   his   recantation。   PAROLLES。   Recantation!   My
  Lord! my master! LAFEU。 Ay; is it not a language I speak? PAROLLES。
  A  most harsh one; and not   to be understood   without bloody  succeeding。
  My     master!    LAFEU。       Are   you    companion       to  the   Count    Rousillon?
  PAROLLES。 To any count; to all counts; to what is man。 LAFEU。 To what
  is count's man: count's master is of another style。 PAROLLES。 You are too
  old; sir; let it satisfy you; you are too old。 LAFEU。 I must tell thee; sirrah;
  I write man; to which title age cannot bring thee。 PAROLLES。 What I dare
  too well do; I dare not do。 LAFEU。 I did think thee; for two ordinaries; to
  be   a   pretty   wise   fellow;   thou   didst   make   tolerable   vent   of   thy   travel;   it
  might   pass。   Yet   the   scarfs   and   the   bannerets   about   thee   did   manifoldly
  dissuade me from believing thee a vessel of too great a burden。 I have now
  found thee; when I lose thee again I care not; yet art thou good for nothing
  but taking up; and that thou'rt scarce worth。 PAROLLES。 Hadst thou not

  the privilege of antiquity upon thee… LAFEU。 Do not plunge thyself too far
  in anger; lest thou hasten thy trial; which if…Lord have mercy on thee for a
  hen! So; my good window of lattice; fare thee well; thy casement I need
  not open; for I look through thee。 Give me thy hand。 PAROLLES。 My lord;
  you give me most egregious indignity。 LAFEU。 Ay; with all my heart; and
  thou art worthy of it。 PAROLLES。 I have not; my lord; deserv'd it。 LAFEU。
  Yes;   good   faith;   ev'ry   dram   of   it;  and   I   will   not   bate   thee   a  scruple。
  PAROLLES。 Well; I shall be wiser。 LAFEU。 Ev'n as soon as thou canst;
  for thou hast to pull at a smack o' th' contrary。 If ever thou be'st bound in
  thy scarf and beaten; thou shalt find what it is to be proud of thy bondage。
  I have a desire to hold my acquaintance with thee; or rather my knowledge;
  that I may say in the default 'He is a man I know。' PAROLLES。 My lord;
  you   do   me   most   insupportable   vexation。   LAFEU。   I   would   it   were   hell
  pains for thy sake; and my poor doing eternal; for doing I am past; as I will
  by thee; in what motion age will give me leave。 Exit
  PAROLLES。   Well;   thou   hast   a   son   shall   take   this   disgrace   off   me:
  scurvy; old; filthy; scurvy lord! Well; I must be patient; there is no fettering
  of   authority。   I'll  beat  him;   by   my   life;  if  I  can  meet    him   with   any
  convenience; an he were double and double a lord。 I'll have no more pity
  of his age than I would have of… I'll beat him; and if I could but meet him
  again。
  Re…enter LAFEU
  LAFEU。 Sirrah; your lord and master's married; there's news for you;
  you have a new mistress。 PAROLLES。 I  most unfeignedly beseech your
  lordship to make some reservation of your wrongs。 He is my good lord:
  whom I serve above is my master。 LAFEU。 Who? God? PAROLLES。 Ay;
  sir。 LAFEU。 The devil it is that's thy master。 Why dost thou garter up thy
  arms o' this fashion? Dost make hose of thy sleeves? Do other servants so?
  Thou wert best set thy lower part where thy nose stands。 By mine honour;
  if I were but two hours younger; I'd beat thee。 Methink'st thou art a general
  offence; and every man should beat thee。 I think thou wast created for men
  to breathe themselves upon thee。 PAROLLES。 This is hard and undeserved
  measure; my lord。 LAFEU。 Go to; sir; you were beaten in Italy for picking
  a kernel out of a pomegranate; you are a vagabond; and no true traveller;

  you    are   more    saucy   with    lords  and   honourable      personages     than   the
  commission of your birth and virtue gives you heraldry。 You are not worth
  another word; else I'd call you knave。 I leave you。 Exit
  Enter BERTRAM
  PAROLLES。 Good; very; good; it is so then。 Good; very good; let it
  be conceal'd awhile。 BERTRAM。 Undone; and forfeited to cares for ever!
  PAROLLES。 What's the matter; sweetheart? BERTRAM。 Although before
  the   solemn   priest   I   have   sworn;   I   will   not   bed   her。   PAROLLES。   What;
  what; sweetheart? BERTRAM。 O my Parolles; they have married me! I'll
  to the Tuscan wars; and never bed her。 PAROLLES。 France is a dog…hole;
  and it no more merits The tread of a man's foot。 To th' wars! BERTRAM。
  There's     letters  from   my    mother;    what    th'  import   is  I  know    not   yet。
  PAROLLES。 Ay; that would be known。 To th' wars; my boy; to th'
