scarce make that be believed。 PAROLLES。 I would I had any drum of the
enemy's； I would swear I recover'd it。 SECOND LORD。 You shall hear
one anon。 ＇Alarum within＇ PAROLLES。 A drum now of the enemy's！
SECOND LORD。 Throca movousus； cargo； cargo； cargo。 ALL。 Cargo；
cargo； cargo； villianda par corbo； cargo。 PAROLLES。 O； ransom； ransom！
Do not hide mine eyes。 ＇They blindfold him＇ FIRST SOLDIER。 Boskos
thromuldo boskos。 PAROLLES。 I know you are the Muskos' regiment；
And I shall lose my life for want of language。 If there be here German； or
Dane； Low Dutch； Italian； or French； let him speak to me； I'll discover that
which shall undo the Florentine。 FIRST SOLDIER。 Boskos vauvado。 I
understand thee； and can speak thy tongue。 Kerely…bonto； sir； betake thee
to thy faith； for seventeen poniards are at thy bosom。 PAROLLES。 O！
FIRST SOLDIER。 O； pray； pray； pray！ Manka revania dulche。 SECOND
LORD。 Oscorbidulchos volivorco。 FIRST SOLDIER。 The General is
content to spare thee yet； And； hoodwink'd as thou art； will lead thee on To
gather from thee。 Haply thou mayst inform Something to save thy life。
PAROLLES。 O； let me live； And all the secrets of our camp I'll show；
Their force； their purposes。 Nay； I'll speak that Which you will wonder at。
FIRST SOLDIER。 But wilt thou faithfully？ PAROLLES。 If I do not； damn
me。 FIRST SOLDIER。 Acordo linta。 Come on； thou art granted space。
Exit； PAROLLES guarded。 A short alarum within SECOND LORD。 Go；
tell the Count Rousillon and my brother We have caught the woodcock；
and will keep him muffled Till we do hear from them。 SECOND
SOLDIER。 Captain； I will。 SECOND LORD。 'A will betray us all unto
ourselves… Inform on that。 SECOND SOLDIER。 So I will； sir。 SECOND

SCENE 2。 Florence。 The WIDOW'S house
Enter BERTRAM and DIANA
BERTRAM。 They told me that your name was Fontibell。 DIANA。 No；
my good lord； Diana。 BERTRAM。 Titled goddess； And worth it； with
addition！ But； fair soul； In your fine frame hath love no quality？ If the
quick fire of youth light not your mind； You are no maiden； but a
monument； When you are dead； you should be such a one As you are now；
for you are cold and stern； And now you should be as your mother was
When your sweet self was got。 DIANA。 She then was honest。 BERTRAM。
So should you be。 DIANA。 No。 My mother did but duty； such； my lord； As
you owe to your wife。 BERTRAM。 No more o'that！ I prithee do not strive
against my vows。 I was compell'd to her； but I love thee By love's own
sweet constraint； and will for ever Do thee all rights of service。 DIANA。
Ay； so you serve us Till we serve you； but when you have our roses You
barely leave our thorns to prick ourselves； And mock us with our bareness。
BERTRAM。 How have I sworn！ DIANA。 'Tis not the many oaths that
makes the truth； But the plain single vow that is vow'd true。 What is not
holy； that we swear not by； But take the High'st to witness。 Then； pray you；
tell me： If I should swear by Jove's great attributes I lov'd you dearly；
would you believe my oaths When I did love you ill？ This has no holding；
To swear by him whom I protest to love That I will work against him。
Therefore your oaths Are words and poor conditions； but unseal'd… At least
in my opinion。 BERTRAM。 Change it； change it； Be not so holy…cruel。
Love is holy； And my integrity ne'er knew the crafts That you do charge
men with。 Stand no more off； But give thyself unto my sick desires； Who
then recovers。 Say thou art mine； and ever My love as it begins shall so
persever。 DIANA。 I see that men make hopes in such a case That we'll
forsake ourselves。 Give me that ring。 BERTRAM。 I'll lend it thee； my dear；
but have no power To give it from me。 DIANA。 Will you not； my lord？
BERTRAM。 It is an honour 'longing to our house； Bequeathed down from
many ancestors； Which were the greatest obloquy i' th' world In me to lose。
DIANA。 Mine honour's such a ring： My chastity's the jewel of our house；
Bequeathed down from many ancestors； Which were the greatest obloquy

i' th' world In me to lose。 Thus your own proper wisdom Brings in the
champion Honour on my part Against your vain assault。 BERTRAM。 Here；
take my ring； My house； mine honour； yea； my life； be thine； And I'll be
bid by thee。 DIANA。 When midnight comes； knock at my chamber
window； I'll order take my mother shall not hear。 Now will I charge you in
the band of truth； When you have conquer'd my yet maiden bed； Remain
there but an hour； nor speak to me： My reasons are most strong； and you
shall know them When back again this ring shall be deliver'd。 And on your
finger in the night I'll put Another ring； that what in time proceeds May
token to the future our past deeds。 Adieu till then； then fail not。 You have
won A wife of me； though there my hope be done。 BERTRAM。 A heaven
on earth I have won by wooing thee。 Exit DIANA。 For which live long to
thank both heaven and me！ You may so in the end。 My mother told me just
how he would woo； As if she sat in's heart； she says all men Have the like
oaths。 He had sworn to marry me When his wife's dead； therefore I'll lie
with him When I am buried。 Since Frenchmen are so braid； Marry that
will； I live and die a maid。 Only； in this disguise； I think't no sin To cozen
him that would unjustly win。 Exit

SCENE 3。 The Florentine camp
Enter the two FRENCH LORDS； and two or three SOLDIERS
SECOND LORD。 You have not given him his mother's letter？ FIRST
LORD。 I have deliv'red it an hour since。 There is something in't that stings
his nature； for on the reading it he chang'd almost into another man。
SECOND LORD。 He has much worthy blame laid upon him for shaking
off so good a wife and so sweet a lady。 FIRST LORD。 Especially he hath
incurred the everlasting displeasure of the King； who had
