Clown I ne'er had worse luck in my life in my 'O Lord,
sir!' I see things may serve long, but not serve ever.
COUNTESS I play the noble housewife with the time
To entertain't so merrily with a fool.
Clown O Lord, sir! why, there't serves well again.
COUNTESS An end, sir; to your business. Give Helen this,
And urge her to a present answer back:
Commend me to my kinsmen and my son:
This is not much.
Clown Not much commendation to them.
COUNTESS Not much employment for you: you understand me?
Clown Most fruitfully: I am there before my legs.
COUNTESS Haste you again.
[Exeunt severally]
ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
ACT II
SCENE III Paris. The KING's palace.
[Enter BERTRAM, LAFEU, and PAROLLES]
LAFEU They say miracles are past; and we have our
philosophical persons, to make modern and familiar,
things supernatural and causeless. Hence is it that
we make trifles of terrors, ensconcing ourselves
into seeming knowledge, when we should submit
ourselves to an unknown fear.
PAROLLES Why, 'tis the rarest argument of wonder that hath
shot out in our latter times.
