All's Well, That Ends Well
All's Well, That Ends Well DIANA. If you shall marry, You give away this hand, and that is mine, You give away heaven’s vows, and those are mine, You give away myself, which is known mine; For I by vow am so embodied yours That she which marries you must marry me, Either both or none.
LAFEW. [To Bertram] Your reputation comes too short for my daughter; you are no husband for her.
BERTRAM. My lord, this is a fond and desperate creature Whom sometime I have laugh’d with. Let your highness Lay a more noble thought upon mine honour Than for to think that I would sink it here.
KING. Sir, for my thoughts, you have them ill to friend Till your deeds gain them; fairer prove your honour Than in my thought it lies!
DIANA. Good my lord, Ask him upon his oath, if he does think He had not my virginity.
KING. What say’st thou to her?
BERTRAM. She’s impudent, my lord, And was a common gamester to the camp.
DIANA. He does me wrong, my lord; if I were so He might have bought me at a common price. Do not believe him. O, behold this ring, Whose high respect and rich validity Did lack a parallel; yet for all that He gave it to a commoner o’ the camp, If I be one.
