Exeunt King, Longaville, and Dumaine.

     BEROWNE

     I’ll lay my head to any goodman’s hat
     These oaths and laws will prove an idle scorn.
     Sirrah, come on.

     COST ARD

I suffer for the truth, sir; for true it is I was [295] taken with Jaquenetta,
and Jaquenetta is a true girl. And therefore welcome the sour cup of
prosperity! Affliction may one day smile again, and till then sit thee down,
sorrow!

                                                                                           Exeunt.

                                   Scene II IT

                             Enter Armado and Mote, his page.

     ARMADO

Boy, what sign is it when a man of great spirit grows melancholy?

     MOTE

A great sign, sir, that he will look sad.

     ARMADO

Why, sadness is one and the self-same thing, dear imp. [5]

     MOTE

No, no; O Lord, sir, no!

     ARMADO

How canst thou part sadness and melancholy, my tender juvenal?

     MOTE

By a familiar demonstration of the working, my tough signor. [10]

     ARMADO

Why tough signor? Why tough signor?
