_Bora._ Go, then; find me a meet hour to draw Don Pedro 30 and the Count Claudio alone: tell them that you know that Hero loves me; intend a kind of zeal both to the prince and Claudio, as,—in love of your brother’s honour, who hath made this match, and his friend’s reputation, who is thus like to be cozened with the semblance of a maid,—that you 35 have discovered thus. They will scarcely believe this without trial: offer them instances; which shall bear no less likelihood than to see me at her chamber-window; hear me call Margaret, Hero; hear Margaret term me Claudio; and bring them to see this the very night before the intended 40 wedding,—for in the meantime I will so fashion the matter that Hero shall be absent,—and there shall appear such seeming truth of Hero’s disloyalty, that jealousy shall be called assurance and all the preparation overthrown. _D. John._ Grow this to what adverse issue it can, I will 45 put it in practice. Be cunning in the working this, and thy fee is a thousand ducats. _Bora._ Be you constant in the accusation, and my cunning shall not shame me. _D. John._ I will presently go learn their day of marriage. 50 [_Exeunt._ ~~~~~ Linenotes: _Much Ado About Nothing_, II. 2. SCENE II.] SCENE VII. Pope. The same] Edd. Scene changes. Pope.
