Definition
| You have no reason. I do it freely. |
|

Term
| Surely I do believe your fair cousin is wronged. |
|
Definition
| Ah, how much might the man deserve of me that would right here! |

Term
| Is there any way to show such friendship? |

| It is a man's office, but not yours. |

Term
| I do live nothing in the world so well as you. Is that not strange? |
|
Definition
| As strange as the thing I know not. It were as possible for me to say I loved nothing so well as you, but believe me not, and yet I lie not, I confess nothing, nor I deny nothing. I am sorry for my cousin. |

| By my sword, Beatrice, thou lovest me! |

| I will swear by it that you love me, and I will make him eat it that says I love not you. |
|
Definition
| Will you not eat your word? |
|
|
Term
| With no sauce that can be devised to it. I protest I love thee. |
|
Definition
| Why then, God forgive me. |
|
|
Term
| What offense, sweet Beatrice? |
|
Definition
| You have stayed me in a happy hour. I was about to protest I loved you. |

|
Term
| And do it with all thy heart. |
|

| I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest. |
|
|
Term
| Come, bid me do anything for thee. |
|

|
Term
| Ha! Not for the wide world. |

| I am gone, though I am here. There is no love in you. Nay, I pray you let me go. |

| Is he not approved in the height a villain that hath slandered, scorned, dishonored my kinswoman? O, that I were a man! What, bear her in hand until they come to take hands, and then, with public accusation, uncovered slander, unmitigated rancor-O God, that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the marketplace. |

| Princes and counties! Surely a princely testimony, a goodly court, Count Comfect, a sweet gallant, surely! O, that I were a man for his sake! Ore that I had any friend would be a man for my sake! But manhood is melted into curtsies, valor into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue, and trim ones, too. He is now as valiant as Hercules that only tells a lie and swears it. I cannot be a man with wishing; therefore I will die a woman with grieving. |
