Exeunt some Attendants

I am afeard the life of Helen, lady,

Was foully snatched.

COUNTESS Now, justice on the doers!

Enter Bertram, guarded

KING

I wonder, sir, since wives are monsters to you,

And that you fly them as you swear them lordship,

Yet you desire to marry.

Enter the Widow and Diana

What woman’s that?

DIANA

I am, my lord, a wretched Florentine,

Derivèd from the ancient Capilet.

My suit, as I do understand, you know, 160

And therefore know how far I may be pitied.

WIDOW

I am her mother, sir, whose age and honour

Both suffer under this complaint we bring,

And both shall cease, without your remedy.

KING

Come hither, Count. Do you know these women?

BERTRAM

My lord, I neither can nor will deny

But that I know them. Do they charge me further?

DIANA

Why do you look so strange upon your wife? BERTRAM

She’s none of mine, my lord.

DIANA If you shall marry

You give away this hand, and that is mine, 170

You give away heaven’s vows, and those are mine,

You give away myself, which is known mine;

For I by vow am so embodied yours

That she which marries you must marry me –

Either both or none.

LAFEW Your reputation comes too short for my daughter;

you are no husband for her.

BERTRAM

My lord, this is a fond and desperate creature

Whom sometime I have laughed with. Let your highness

Lay a more noble thought upon mine honour 180

Than for to think that I would sink it here.

KING

Sir, for my thoughts, you have them ill to friend

Till your deeds gain them; fairer prove your honour

Than in my thought it lies!

DIANA Good my lord,

Ask him upon his oath if he does think

He had not my virginity.

KING

What sayst thou to her?

BERTRAM She’s impudent, my lord,

And was a common gamester to the camp.

DIANA

He does me wrong, my lord; if I were so

He might have bought me at a common price. 190

Do not believe him. O behold this ring

Whose high respect and rich validity

Did lack a parallel; yet for all that

He gave it to a commoner o’th’camp,

If I be one.

COUNTESS He blushes and ’tis hit.

Of six preceding ancestors, that gem

Conferred by testament to th’sequent issue,

Hath it been owed and worn. This is his wife:

That ring’s a thousand proofs.

KING Methought you said

You saw one here in court could witness it. 200

DIANA

I did, my lord, but loath am to produce

So bad an instrument: his name’s Parolles

LAFEW

I saw the man today, if man he be.

KING

Find him and bring him hither.
