The revelers are entering, brother
Leonato
The revelers are entering, brother. Make good room.
Leonato and his brother step aside.
Enter, with a Drum, Prince Pedro, Claudio and Benedick, Signior Antonio,
and Balthasar, all in masks, with Borachio and Don John.
Prince, to Hero
Lady, will you walk a bout with your friend?
They begin to dance.
Speak low if you speak love.
Hero
So you walk softly, and look sweetly, and say nothing,
I am yours for the walk, and especially when I walk away.
Prince
With me in your company?
Hero
I may say so when I please.
Prince
And when please you to say so?
Hero
When I like your favor, for God defend the lute
should be like the case.
Prince
My visor is Philemon’s roof; within the house is Jove.
Hero
Why, then, your visor should be thatched.
Prince
Speak low if you speak love.
They move aside
