To break the vow I am engaged in.

I am betrayed by keeping company

With men like [you], men of inconstancy.

When shall you see me write a thing in rhyme,

Or groan for Joan, or spend a minute’s time

In pruning me? When shall you hear that I

Will praise a hand, a foot, a face, an eye,

A gait, a state, a brow, a breast, a waist,

A leg, a limb—

King.

Soft, whither away so fast?

A true man, or a thief, that gallops so?

Ber.

I post from love; good lover, let me go.

King.

What present hast thou there?

Cost.

Some certain treason.

King.

What makes treason here?

Cost.

Nay, it makes nothing, sir.

King.

If it mar nothing neither,

The treason and you go in peace away together.

Jaq.

I beseech your Grace let this letter be read:

Our person misdoubts it; ’twas treason, he said.

King.

Berowne, read it over.

He [Berowne] reads the letter.

Where hadst thou it?

Jaq.

Of Costard.

King.

Where hadst thou it?

Cost.

Of Dun Adramadio, Dun Adramadio.
