Context
“Ile shew thee some attires, and haue thy counsell, Which is the best to furnish me to morrow Vrsu. Shee's tane I warrant you,
We haue caught her Madame? Hero. If it proue so, then louing goes by haps,
Some Cupid kills with arrowes, some with traps. Enter. Beat. What fire is in mine eares? can this be true?
Stand I condemn'd for pride and scorne so much? Contempt, farewell, and maiden pride, adew, No glory liues behinde the backe of such. And Benedicke, loue on, I will requite thee,” source
