     T HURIO

What? That my leg is too long?

     PROT EUS

No, that it is too little. [5]

     T HURIO

     I’ll wear a boot to make it somewhat rounder.

     JULIA

[aside]
     But love will not be spurred to what it loathes.

     T HURIO

     What says she to my face?

     PROT EUS

     She says it is a fair one.

     T HURIO

     Nay then, the wanton lies; my face is black. [10]

     PROT EUS

     But pearls are fair; and the old saying is:
     Black men are pearls in beauteous ladies’ eyes.

     JULIA

[aside]
     ’Tis true, such pearls as put out ladies’ eyes;
     For I had rather wink than look on them.

     T HURIO

     How likes she my discourse? [15]

     PROT EUS

     Ill, when you talk of war.
