“This can be no trick; the conference was sadly borne. […] Love me! Why, it must be requited. […] I did never think to marry. I must not seem proud: happy are they that hear their detractions and can put them to mending.”

He glanced at Veronica, who smiled, motioning she understood his rebuke.

“They say the lady is fair; ‘t is a truth, I can bear them witness; and virtuous; ‘t is so, I cannot reprove it; and wise, but for loving me; by my troth, it is no addition to her wit, nor no great argument of her folly, for I will be horribly in love with her. I may chance have some odd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me, because I have railed so long against marriage; but doth not the appetite alter? A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age. […] When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married. Here comes Beatrice. By this day! She’s a fair lady. I do spy some marks of love in her.” (Much Ado About Nothing, Act II, scene III).
