P. 1429
DON PEDRO
He is composed and framed of treachery, [235]
And fled he is upon this villainy.
CLAUDIO
Sweet Hero, now thy image doth appear
In the rare semblance that I loved it first.
DOGBERRY
Come, bring away the plaintiffs; by this time our Sexton hath reformed
Signior Leonato of the matter. [240] And, masters, do not forget to specify,
when time and place shall serve, that I am an ass.
VERGES
Here, here comes master Signior Leonato, and the Sexton too.
Enter Leonato and Antonio, with the Sexton.
LEONATO
Which is the villain? Let me see his eyes, [245]
That, when I note another man like him,
I may avoid him. Which of these is he?
BORACHIO
If you would know your wronger, look on me.
LEONATO
Art thou the slave that with thy breath hast killed
Mine innocent child?
BORACHIO
Yea, even I alone. [250]
LEONATO
No, not so, villain, thou beliest thyself −
Here stand a pair of honourable men,
A third is fled, that had a hand in it.
