I have the toothache. [20]



              DON PEDRO
          Draw it.



              BENEDICK
          Hang it!



              CLAUDIO
          You must hang it first, and draw it afterwards.



              DON PEDRO
          What! Sigh for the toothache?



              LEONATO
          Where is but a humour or a worm. [25]



              BENEDICK
          Well, everyone can master a grief but he that has it.



              CLAUDIO
          Yet say I, he is in love.




              DON PEDRO
          There is no appearance of fancy in him, unless it be a fancy that he hath to
          strange disguises; as to [30] be a Dutchman today, a Frenchman tomorrow,
          or  in  the  shape  of  two  countries  at  once,  as,  a  German  from  the  waist
          downward, all slops, and a Spaniard from the hip upward, no doublet. Unless

          he have a fancy to this foolery, as it appears he hath, he is no fool for fancy,
          as [35] you would have it appear he is.



              CLAUDIO
          If  he  be  not  in  love  with  some  woman,  there  is  no  believing  old  signs.  ’A
          brushes his hat o’mornings; what should that bode?



              DON PEDRO
          Hath any man seen him at the barber’s? [40]
