All’s Well That Ends Well Act 4 Scene 1 William Shakespeare

SCENE I. Without the Florentine camp.

Enter Second French Lord, with five or six other Soldiers in ambush

SECOND LORD
He can come no other way but by this hedge-corner.
When you sally upon him, speak what terrible
language you will: though you understand it not
yourselves, no matter; for we must not seem to
understand him, unless some one among us whom we
must produce for an interpreter.

FIRST SOLDIER
Good captain, let me be the interpreter.

SECOND LORD
Art not acquainted with him? knows he not thy voice?

FIRST SOLDIER
No, sir, I warrant you.

SECOND LORD
But what linsey-woolsey hast thou to speak to us again?

FIRST SOLDIER
E'en such as you speak to me.
