[Coming forward] This can be no trick: the
     conference was sadly borne. They have the truth of
     this from Hero. They seem to pity the lady: it
     seems her affections have their full bent. Love me!
     why, it must be requited. I hear how I am censured:
     they say I will bear myself proudly, if I perceive
     the love come from her; they say too that she will
     rather die than give any sign of affection. I did
     never think to marry: I must not seem proud: happy
     are they that hear their detractions and can put
     them to mending. They say the lady is fair; 'tis a
     truth, I can bear them witness; and virtuous; 'tis
     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.
     Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of
     the brain awe a man from the career of his humour?
     No, the world must be peopled. 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.

     Enter BEATRICE

BEATRICE

     Against my will I am sent to bid you come in to dinner.

BENEDICK

     Fair Beatrice, I thank you for your pains.

BEATRICE

     I took no more pains for those thanks than you take
     pains to thank me: if it had been painful, I would
     not have come.

BENEDICK

     You take pleasure then in the message?

BEATRICE

     Yea, just so much as you may take upon a knife's
     point and choke a daw withal. You have no stomach,
     signior: fare you well.

     Exit

BENEDICK

     Ha! 'Against my will I am sent to bid you come in
     to dinner;' there's a double meaning in that 'I took
     no more pains for those thanks than you took pains
     to thank me.' that's as much as to say, Any pains
     that I take for you is as easy as thanks. If I do
     not take pity of her, I am a villain; if I do not
     love her, I am a Jew. I will go get her picture.
