All’s Well That Ends Well Act 4 Scene 3 William Shakespeare

SCENE III. The Florentine camp.

Enter the two French Lords and some two or three Soldiers

FIRST LORD
You have not given him his mother's letter?

SECOND LORD
I have delivered it an hour since: there is
something in't that stings his nature; for on the
reading it he changed almost into another man.

FIRST LORD
He has much worthy blame laid upon him for shaking
off so good a wife and so sweet a lady.

SECOND LORD
Especially he hath incurred the everlasting
displeasure of the king, who had even tuned his
bounty to sing happiness to him. I will tell you a
thing, but you shall let it dwell darkly with you.

FIRST LORD
When you have spoken it, 'tis dead, and I am the
grave of it.
