Thus answer I in name of Benedick

Claudio, unmasking
Thus answer I in name of Benedick,
But hear these ill news with the ears of Claudio.
’Tis certain so. The Prince woos for himself.

Friendship is constant in all other things
Save in the office and affairs of love.

Friendship is constant in all other things
Save in the office and affairs of love.Hendiadys
Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues.Synecdoche
Let every eye negotiate for itself,Synecdoche
And trust no agent; for beauty is a witch
Against whose charms faith melteth into bloodMetaphor
.
This is an accident of hourly proof,
Which I mistrusted not. Farewell therefore, Hero.
