A royal messenger brings news to Leonato of a very important vistior...
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| He hath an Uncle here in Messina will be very much glad of it. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I have already delivered him letters, and there appeared much joy in him. | |
 | |  |

Leonato asks about those that have died in battle.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| How many gentlemen have you lost in this action? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| But few of any sort, and none of name. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
The messenger tells of a young man hero called Claudio.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| A victory is twice itself, when the achiever brings home full numbers. I find here, that Don Pedro hath bestowed much hounour on a young Florentine called Claudio. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Much deserved on his part, and equally remebered by Don Pedro. He hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age, doing in the figure of a lamb the feats of a lion. | |
