Beat. Use it for my love some other way than swearing by it.

Bene. Think you in your soul the Count Claudio hath wrong’d Hero?

Beat. Yea, as sure as I have a thought or a soul.

Dog. Is our whole dissembly appear’d?

Verg. O, a stool and a cushion for the sexton.

Dog. Marry, that am I and my partner.

Verg. Nay, that’s certain, we have the exhibition to examine.

Sex. But which are the offenders that are to be examin’d? Let them come before Master Constable.

Dog. Yea, marry, let them come before me. What is your name, friend?
