PANDARUS

          Ay, you may, you may.



              HELEN
          Let thy song be love; this love will undo us all. O Cupid, Cupid, Cupid!



              PANDARUS
          Love? Ay, that it shall, i’faith.



              PARIS
          Ay, good now, love, love, nothing but love. [110]



              PANDARUS
          In good troth, it begins so.

                                                                                                      He sings.
                               Love, love, nothing but love, still love, still more!
                                                    For, O, love’s bow
                                                    Shoots buck and doe;
                                                    The shaft confounds, [115]

                                                    Not that it wounds,
                               But tickles still the sore.
                               These lovers cry − O ho, they die!

                                                    Yet that which seems the wound to kill
                               Doth turn O ho to ha, ha, he! [120]
                                                    So dying love lives still:
                               O ho, a while, but ha, ha, ha!
                               O ho, groans out for ha, ha, ha! − Heigh ho!



              HELEN

          In love, i’faith, to the very tip of the nose.


              PARIS

          He eats nothing but doves, love, and that breeds [125] hot blood, and hot
          blood begets hot thoughts, and hot thoughts beget hot deeds, and hot deeds
          is love.
