be aweary of thee； and I tell thee so before； because I would not fall out
with thee。 Go thy ways； let my horses be well look'd to； without any tricks。
CLOWN。 If I put any tricks upon 'em； sir； they shall be jades' tricks； which
are their own right by the law of nature。 Exit LAFEU。 A shrewd knave；
and an unhappy。 COUNTESS。 So 'a is。 My lord that's gone made himself
much sport out of him。 By his authority he remains here； which he thinks
is a patent for his sauciness； and indeed he has no pace； but runs where he
will。 LAFEU。 I like him well； 'tis not amiss。 And I was about to tell you；
since I heard of the good lady's death； and that my lord your son was upon
his return home； I moved the King my master to speak in the behalf of my
daughter； which； in the minority of them both； his Majesty out of a self…
gracious remembrance did first propose。 His Highness hath promis'd me to
do it； and； to stop up the displeasure he hath conceived against your son；
there is no fitter matter。 How does your ladyship like it？ COUNTESS。
With very much content； my lord； and I wish it happily effected。 LAFEU。
His Highness comes post from Marseilles； of as able body as when he
number'd thirty； 'a will be here to…morrow； or I am deceiv'd by him that in
such intelligence hath seldom fail'd。 COUNTESS。 It rejoices me that I
hope I shall see him ere I die。 I have letters that my son will be here to…
night。 I shall beseech your lordship to remain with me till they meet
together。 LAFEU。 Madam； I was thinking with what manners I might
safely be admitted。 COUNTESS。 You need but plead your honourable
privilege。 LAFEU。 Lady； of that I have made a bold charter； but； I thank
my God； it holds yet。
Re…enter CLOWN
CLOWN。 O madam； yonder's my lord your son with a patch of velvet
on's face； whether there be a scar under 't or no； the velvet knows； but 'tis a
goodly patch of velvet。 His left cheek is a cheek of two pile and a half； but
his right cheek is worn bare。 LAFEU。 A scar nobly got； or a noble scar； is
a good liv'ry of honour； so belike is that。 CLOWN。 But it is your
carbonado'd face。 LAFEU。 Let us go see your son； I pray you； I long to
talk with the young noble soldier。 CLOWN。 Faith； there's a dozen of 'em；
with delicate fine hats； and most courteous feathers； which bow the head

ALLS WELL THAT ENDS WELL
SCENE 1。 Marseilles。 A street
Enter HELENA； WIDOW； and DIANA； with two ATTENDANTS
HELENA。 But this exceeding posting day and night Must wear your
spirits low； we cannot help it。 But since you have made the days and
nights as one； To wear your gentle limbs in my affairs； Be bold you do so
grow in my requital As nothing can unroot you。
Enter a GENTLEMAN
In happy time！ This man may help me to his Majesty's ear； If he
would spend his power。 God save you； sir。 GENTLEMAN。 And you。
HELENA。 Sir； I have seen you in the court of France。 GENTLEMAN。 I
have been sometimes there。 HELENA。 I do presume； sir； that you are not
fall'n From the report that goes upon your goodness； And therefore；
goaded with most sharp occasions； Which lay nice manners by； I put you
to The use of your own virtues； for the which I shall continue thankful。
GENTLEMAN。 What's your will？ HELENA。 That it will please you To
give this poor petition to the King； And aid me with that store of power
you have To come into his presence。 GENTLEMAN。 The King's not here。
HELENA。 Not here； sir？ GENTLEMAN。 Not indeed。 He hence remov'd
last night； and with more haste Than is his use。 WIDOW。 Lord； how we
lose our pains！ HELENA。 All's Well That Ends Well yet； Though time
seem so adverse and means unfit。 I do beseech you； whither is he gone？
GENTLEMAN。 Marry； as I take it； to Rousillon； Whither I am going。
HELENA。 I do beseech you； sir； Since you are like to see the King before
me； Commend the paper to his gracious hand； Which I presume shall
render you no blame； But rather make you thank your pains for it。 I will
come after you with what good speed Our means will make us means。
GENTLEMAN。 This I'll do for you。 HELENA。 And you shall find
yourself to be well thank'd； Whate'er falls more。 We must to horse again；
Go； go； provide。 Exeunt

SCENE 2。 Rousillon。 The inner court of the
COUNT'S palace
Enter CLOWN and PAROLLES
PAROLLES。 Good Monsieur Lavache； give my Lord Lafeu this letter。
I have ere now； sir； been better known to you； when I have held familiarity
with fresher clothes； but I am now； sir； muddied in Fortune's mood； and
smell somewhat strong of her strong displeasure。 CLOWN。 Truly；
Fortune's displeasure is but sluttish； if it smell so strongly as thou speak'st
of。 I will henceforth eat no fish of Fortune's butt'ring。 Prithee； allow the
wind。 PAROLLES。 Nay； you need not to stop your nose； sir； I spake but
by a metaphor。 CLOWN。 Indeed； sir； if your metaphor stink； I will stop
my nose； or against any man's metaphor。 Prithee； get thee further。
PAROLLES。 Pray you； sir； deliver me this paper。 CLOWN。 Foh！ prithee
stand away。 A paper from Fortune's close…stool to give to a nobleman！
Look here he comes himself。
Enter LAFEU
Here is a pur of Fortune's； sir； or of Fortune's cat； but not a musk…cat；
that has fall'n into the unclean fishpond of her displeasure； and； as he says；
is muddied withal。 Pray you； sir； use the carp as you may； for he looks like
a poor； decayed； ingenious； foolish； rascally knave。 I do pity his distress in
my similes of comfort； and leave him to your lordship。 Exit PAROLLES。
My lord； I am a man whom Fortune hath cruelly scratch'd。 LAFEU。 And
what would you have me to do？ 'Tis too late to pare her nails now。
Wherein have you played the knave with Fortune； that she should scratch
you； who of herself is a good lady and would not have knaves thrive long
under her？ There's a cardecue for you。 Let the justices make you and
Fortune friends； I am for other business。 PAROLLES。 I beseech your
honour to hear me one single word。 LAFEU。 You beg a single penny more；
come； you shall ha't； save your word。 PAROLLES。 My name； my good
lord； is Parolles。 LAFEU。 You beg more than word then。 Cox my passion！
give me your hand。 How does your drum？ PAROLLES。 O my good lord；
you were the first that found me。 LAFEU。 Was I； in sooth？ And I was the

first that lost thee。 PAROLLES。 It lies in you； my lord； to bring me in
some grace； for you did bring me out。 LAFEU。 Out upon thee； knave！
Dost thou put upon me at once both the office of God and the devil？ One
brings the in grace； and the other brings thee out。 ＇Trumpets sound＇ The
King's coming； I know by his trumpets。 Sirrah； inquire further after me； I
had talk of you last night。 Though you are a fool and a knave； you shall eat。
Go to； follow。 PAROLLES。 I praise God for you。 Exeunt
