Leonato, with a letter
I learn in this letter that Don
Pedro of Aragon comes this night to Messina.
Messenger
He is very near by this. He was not three
leagues off when I left him.

He hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age,
doing in the figure of a lamb the feats of a lion.

Leonato
How many gentlemen have you lost in this action?
Messenger
But few of any sort, and none of name.
Leonato
A victory is twice itself when the achiever
brings home full numbers. I find here that Don
Pedro hath bestowed much honor on a young
Florentine called Claudio.
Messenger
Much deserved on his part, and equally
remembered by Don Pedro.Anapodoton He hath borne himself
beyond the promise of his age, doing in the figure
of a lamb the feats of a lion.Metaphor & Paradox He hath indeed better
bettered expectation than you must expect of me to
tell you how.Anthimeria & Polyptoton
Leonato
He hath an uncle here in Messina will be
very much glad of it.
Messenger
I have already delivered him letters, and
there appears much joy in him,Hyperbaton even so much that
joy could not show itself modest enough without a
Alliterationbadge of bitterness.Personification
Leonato
Did he break out into tears?
Messenger
In great measure.Anapodoton
Leonato
A kind overflow of kindness.Anapodoton & Polyptoton There are no
faces truer than those that are so washed.Synecdoche How
much better is it to weep at joy than to joy at weeping!Antimetabole
