Enter [Don] John the Bastard.

D. John. My lord and brother, God save you!

D. Pedro. Good den, brother.

D. John. If your leisure serv’d, I would speak with you.

D. Pedro. In private?

D. John. If it please you, yet Count Claudio may hear, for what I would speak of concerns him.

D. Pedro. What’s the matter?

D. John [To Claudio]. Means your lordship to be married to-morrow?

D. Pedro. You know he does.

D. John. I know not that, when he knows what I know.

Claud. If there be any impediment, I pray you discover it.

D. John. You may think I love you not; let that appear hereafter, and aim better at me by that I now will manifest. For my brother, I think he holds you well, and in dearness of heart hath holp to effect your ensuing marriage—surely suit ill spent and labor ill bestow’d.

D. Pedro. Why, what’s the matter?

D. John. I came hither to tell you, and circumstances short’ned (for she has been too long a-talking of), the lady is disloyal.

Claud. Who, Hero?

D. John. Even she—Leonato’s Hero, your Hero, every man’s Hero.
