My mother told me just how he would woo,
As if she sat in 's heart; she says all men
Have the like oaths: he had sworn to marry me
When his wife's dead; therefore I'll lie with him
When I am buried. Since Frenchmen are so braid,
Marry that will, I live and die a maid:
Only in this disguise I think't no sin
To cozen him that would unjustly win.

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
ACT IV
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.
