Act 1: Scene 1

He is very near by this: he was not three leagues off
when I left him.

But few of any sort, and none of name.

Much deserved on his part and equally remembered by
Don Pedro: he hath borne himself beyond the
promise of his age, doing, in the figure of a lamb,
the feats of a lion: he hath indeed better
bettered expectation than you must expect of me to
tell you how.

I have already delivered him letters, and there
appears much joy in him; even so much that joy could
not show itself modest enough without a badge of
bitterness.

In great measure.

I know none of that name, lady: there was none such
in the army of any sort.

O, he’s returned; and as pleasant as ever he was.

He hath done good service, lady, in these wars.

And a good soldier too, lady.

A lord to a lord, a man to a man; stuffed with all
honourable virtues.

Is’t possible?

I see, lady, the gentleman is not in your books.

He is most in the company of the right noble Claudio.

I will hold friends with you, lady.

Don Pedro is approached.

Act 3: Scene 5

My lord, they stay for you to give your daughter to
her husband.

Act 5: Scene 4

My lord, your brother John is ta’en in flight,
And brought with armed men back to Messina.
