lord。 Faith; yes: Strangers and foes do sunder and not kiss。 BERTRAM。 I
pray you; stay not; but in haste to horse。 HELENA。 I shall not break your
bidding; good my lord。 BERTRAM。 Where are my other men; monsieur?
Farewell! Exit HELENA
Go thou toward home; where I will never come Whilst I can shake
my sword or hear the drum。 Away; and for our flight。 PAROLLES。
Bravely; coragio! Exeunt

SCENE 1。 Florence。 The DUKE's palace
Flourish。 Enter the DUKE OF FLORENCE; attended; two FRENCH
LORDS; with a TROOP OF SOLDIERS
DUKE。 So that; from point to point; now have you heard The
fundamental reasons of this war; Whose great decision hath much blood
let forth And more thirsts after。 FIRST LORD。 Holy seems the quarrel
Upon your Grace's part; black and fearful On the opposer。 DUKE。
Therefore we marvel much our cousin France Would in so just a business
shut his bosom Against our borrowing prayers。 SECOND LORD。 Good
my lord; The reasons of our state I cannot yield; But like a common and an
outward man That the great figure of a council frames By self…unable
motion; therefore dare not Say what I think of it; since I have found
Myself in my incertain grounds to fail As often as I guess'd。 DUKE。 Be it
his pleasure。 FIRST LORD。 But I am sure the younger of our nature; That
surfeit on their ease; will day by day Come here for physic。 DUKE。
Welcome shall they be And all the honours that can fly from us Shall on
them settle。 You know your places well; When better fall; for your avails
they fell。 To…morrow to th' field。 Flourish。 Exeunt

SCENE 2。 Rousillon。 The COUNT'S palace
Enter COUNTESS and CLOWN
COUNTESS。 It hath happen'd all as I would have had it; save that he
comes not along with her。 CLOWN。 By my troth; I take my young lord to
be a very melancholy man。 COUNTESS。 By what observance; I pray you?
CLOWN。 Why; he will look upon his boot and sing; mend the ruff and
sing; ask questions and sing; pick his teeth and sing。 I know a man that
had this trick of melancholy sold a goodly manor for a song。 COUNTESS。
Let me see what he writes; and when he means to come。 'Opening a letter'
CLOWN。 I have no mind to Isbel since I was at court。 Our old ling and
our Isbels o' th' country are nothing like your old ling and your Isbels o' th'
court。 The brains of my Cupid's knock'd out; and I begin to love; as an old
man loves money; with no stomach。 COUNTESS。 What have we here?
CLOWN。 E'en that you have there。 Exit
COUNTESS。 'Reads' 'I have sent you a daughter…in…law; she hath
recovered the King and undone me。 I have wedded her; not bedded her;
and sworn to make the 〃not〃 eternal。 You shall hear I am run away; know
it before the report come。 If there be breadth enough in the world; I will
hold a long distance。 My duty to you。 Your unfortunate son; BERTRAM。'
This is not well; rash and unbridled boy; To fly the favours of so good a
king; To pluck his indignation on thy head By the misprizing of a maid too
virtuous For the contempt of empire。
Re…enter CLOWN
CLOWN。 O madam; yonder is heavy news within between two
soldiers and my young lady。 COUNTESS。 What is the …matter? CLOWN。
Nay; there is some comfort in the news; some comfort; your son will not
be kill'd so soon as I thought he would。 COUNTESS。 Why should he be
kill'd? CLOWN。 So say I; madam; if he run away; as I hear he does the
danger is in standing to 't; that's the loss of men; though it be the getting of
children。 Here they come will tell you more。 For my part; I only hear your
son was run away。 Exit
Enter HELENA and the two FRENCH GENTLEMEN
SECOND GENTLEMAN。 Save you; good madam。 HELENA。

Madam; my lord is gone; for ever gone。 FIRST GENTLEMAN。 Do not
say so。 COUNTESS。 Think upon patience。 Pray you; gentlemen… I have
felt so many quirks of joy and grief That the first face of neither; on the
start; Can woman me unto 't。 Where is my son; I pray you? FIRST
GENTLEMAN。 Madam; he's gone to serve the Duke of Florence。 We met
him thitherward; for thence we came; And; after some dispatch in hand at
court; Thither we bend again。 HELENA。 Look on this letter; madam;
here's my passport。 'Reads' 'When thou canst get the ring upon my finger;
which never shall come off; and show me a child begotten of thy body that
I am father to; then call me husband; but in such a 〃then〃 I write a 〃never。〃
This is a dreadful sentence。 COUNTESS。 Brought you this letter;
gentlemen? FIRST GENTLEMAN。 Ay; madam; And for the contents' sake
are sorry for our pains。 COUNTESS。 I prithee; lady; have a better cheer; If
thou engrossest all the griefs are thine; Thou robb'st me of a moiety。 He
was my son; But I do wash his name out of my blood; And thou art all my
child。 Towards Florence is he? FIRST GENTLEMAN。 Ay; madam。
COUNTESS。 And to be a soldier? FIRST GENTLEMAN。 Such is his
noble purpose; and; believe 't; The Duke will lay upon him all the honour
That good convenience claims。 COUNTESS。 Return you thither?
SECOND GENTLEMAN。 Ay; madam; with the swiftest wing of speed。
HELENA。 'Reads' 'Till I have no wife; I have nothing in France。' 'Tis
bitter。 COUNTESS。 Find you that there? HELENA。 Ay; madam。 SECOND
GENTLEMAN。 'Tis but the boldness of his hand haply; which his heart
was not consenting to。 COUNTESS。 Nothing in France until he have no
wife! There's nothing here that is too good for him But only she; and she
deserves a lord That twenty such rude boys might tend upon; And call her
hourly mistress。 Who was with him? SECOND GENTLEMAN。 A servant
only; and a gentleman Which I have sometime known。 COUNTESS。
Parolles; was it not? SECOND GENTLEMAN。 Ay; my good lady; he。
COUNTESS。 A very tainted fellow; and full of wickedness。 My son
corrupts a well…derived nature With his inducement。 SECOND
GENTLEMAN。 Indeed; good lady; The fellow has a deal of that too much
Which holds him much to have。 COUNTESS。 Y'are welcome; gentlemen。
I will entreat you; when you see my son; To tell him that his sword can

never win The honour that he loses。 More I'll entreat you Written to bear
along。 FIRST GENTLEMAN。 We serve you; madam; In that and all your
worthiest affairs。 COUNTESS。 Not so; but as we change our courtesies。
Will you draw near? Exeunt COUNTESS and GENTLEMEN HELENA。
'Till I have no wife; I have nothing in France。' Nothing in France until he
has no wife! Thou shalt have none; Rousillon; none in France Then hast
thou all again。 Poor lord! is't I That chase thee from thy country; and
expose Those tender limbs of thine to the event Of the non…sparing war?
And is it I That drive thee from the sportive court; where thou Wast shot at
with fair eyes; to be the mark Of smoky muskets? O you leaden
messengers; That ride upon the violent speed of fire
