The_ COUNT'S _Palace._ _Enter_ COUNTESS _and_ CLOWN. _Count._ It hath happened all as I would have had it, save that he comes not along with her. _Clo._ By my troth, I take my young lord to be a very melancholy man. _Count._ By what observance, I pray you? 5 _Clo._ Why, he will look upon his boot and sing; mend the ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his teeth and sing. I know a man that had this trick of melancholy sold a goodly manor for a song. _Count._ Let me see what he writes, and when he means 10 to come. [_Opening a letter._ _Clo._ I have no mind to Isbel since I was at court: our old ling and our Isbels o' the country are nothing like your old ling and your Isbels o' the court: the brains of my Cupid's knocked out, and I begin to love, as an old 15 man loves money, with no stomach. _Count._ What have we here? _Clo._ E'en that you have there. [_Exit._ _Count._ [_reads_] have sent you a daughter-in-law: she hath recovered the king, and undone me. I have wedded her, not bedded 20 her; and sworn to make the 'not' eternal. You shall hear I am run away: know it before the report come. If there be breadth enough in the world, I will hold a long distance. My duty to you. Your unfortunate son, BERTRAM. 25 This is not well, rash and unbridled boy, To fly the favours of so good a king; To pluck his indignation on thy head By the misprising of a maid too virtuous For the contempt of empire. 30 _Re-enter_ CLOWN. _Clo._ O madam, yonder is heavy news within between two soldiers and my young lady! _Count._ What is the matter? _Clo._ Nay, there is some comfort in the news, some comfort; your son will not be killed so soon as I thought 35 he would. _Count._ Why should he be killed? _Clo._ So say I, madam, if he run away, as I hear he does: the danger is in standing to't; that's the loss of men, though it be the getting of children. Here they come will tell you 40 more: for my part, I only hear your son was run away. [_Exit._ _Enter_ HELENA _and two_ Gentlemen. _First Gent._ Save you, good madam. _Hel._ Madam, my lord is gone, for ever gone. _Sec. Gent._ Do not say so.
