:16:03
...but had a rougher task in hand
than to drive liking to the name of love.
:16:08
But now...
:16:10
...I am returned and that war-thoughts
have left their places vacant...
:16:15
...in their rooms come thronging soft...
:16:18
...and delicate desires...
:16:21
...all prompting me how fair young Hero is.
:16:25
Saying...
:16:29
...I liked her ere I went to wars.
:16:33
Thou wilt be like a lover presently
and tire the hearer with a book of words.
:16:38
If thou dost love fair Hero, cherish it.
:16:42
And I will break with her and with her father
and thou shalt have her.
:16:45
I know we shall have reveling tonight.
:16:48
I will assume thy part in some disguise and...
:16:51
...tell fair Hero I am Claudio.
:16:53
And in her bosom, I'll unclasp my heart...
:16:56
...and take her hearing prisoner,
with the force and...
:16:58
...strong encounter of my amorous tale.
:17:02
Then, after to her father will I break...
:17:05
...and the conclusion is...
:17:07
...she shall be thine.
:17:12
In practice let us put it presently.
:17:22
What the good-year, my lord.
:17:26
Why are you thus out of measure sad?
:17:31
There is no measure
in the occasion that breeds.
:17:35
Therefore the sadness is without limit.
:17:38
You should hear reason.
:17:42
And when I have heard it...
:17:45
...what blessing brings it?
:17:48
I cannot hide what I am.
:17:51
I must be sad when I have cause
and smile at no man's jests...
:17:56
...eat when I have stomach...
:17:59
...and wait for no man's leisure...
