CLAUDIO

Good day to both of you.

LEONATO
Hear you, my lords!

DON PEDRO
We have some haste, Leonato.

LEONATO
Some haste, my lord! Well, fare you well, my lord;
Are you so hasty now? Well, all is one.

DON PEDRO

Nay, do not quarrel with us, good old man. [50]

ANTONIO

If he could right himself with quarrelling,
Some of us would lie low.

CLAUDIO
Who wrongs him?

LEONATO
Marry, thou dost wrong me, thou dissembler, thou!
− Nay, never lay thy hand upon thy sword;

I fear thee not.

CLAUDIO

Marry, beshrew my hand, [55]
If it should give your age such cause of fear;
In faith, my hand meant nothing to my sword.

LEONATO
Tush, tush, man, never fleer and jest at me;

I speak not like a dotard nor a fool,
As under privilege of age to brag [60]
