P. 1379
CLAUDIO
No, but the barber’s man hath been seen with him and the old ornament of
his cheek hath already stuffed tennis-balls.
LEONATO
Indeed, he looks younger than he did, by the loss of a beard. [45]
DON PEDRO
Nay, ’a rubs himself with civet; can you smell him out by that?
CLAUDIO
That’s as much as to say, the sweet youth’s in love.
DON PEDRO
The greatest note of it is his melancholy. [50]
CLAUDIO
And when was he wont to wash his face?
DON PEDRO
Yea, or to paint himself? For the which, I hear what they say of him.
CLAUDIO
Nay, but his jesting spirit, which is now crept into a lute-string and now
governed by stops. [55]
DON PEDRO
Indeed, that tells a heavy tale for him; conclude, conclude he is in love.
CLAUDIO
Nay, but I know who loves him.
DON PEDRO
That would I know too; I warrant, one that knows him not. [60]
CLAUDIO
Yes, and his ill conditions; and, in despite of all, dies for him.
