ACT II IT
Scene I IT
Enter Leonato, Antonio, Hero, Beatrice, Margaret, and Ursula.
LEONATO
Was not Count John here at supper?
ANTONIO
I saw him not.
BEATRICE
How tartly that gentleman looks! I never can see him but I am heart-burned
an hour after.
HERO
He is of a very melancholy disposition. [5]
BEATRICE
He were an excellent man that were made just in the midway between him
and Benedick; the one is too like an image and says nothing, and the other
too like my lady’s eldest son, evermore tattling.
LEONATO
Then half Signor Benedick’s tongue in Count [10] John’s mouth, and half
Count John’s melancholy in Signor Benedick’s face −
BEATRICE
With a good leg and a good foot, uncle, and money enough in his purse, such
a man would win any woman in the world, if’a could get her good will. [15]
LEONATO
