Scene IIThe same. A public placeEnter Cloten and two LordsFirst LordSir, I would advise you to shift a shirt; the violence of action hath made you reek as a sacrifice: where air comes out, air comes in: there’s none abroad so wholesome as that you vent.ClotenIf my shirt were bloody, then to shift it. Have I hurt him?Second LordAsideNo, ‘faith; not so much as his patience.First LordHurt him! his body’s a passable carcass, if he be not hurt: it is a thoroughfare for steel, if it be not hurt.Second LordAsideHis steel was in debt; it went o’ the backside the town.ClotenThe villain would not stand me.Second LordAsideNo; but he fled forward still, toward your face.First LordStand you! You have land enough of your own: but he added to your having; gave you some ground.Second LordAsideAs many inches as you have oceans. Puppies!ClotenI would they had not come between us.Second LordAsideSo would I, till you had measured how long a fool you were upon the ground.ClotenAnd that she should love this fellow and refuse me!Second LordAsideIf it be a sin to make a true election, she is damned.First LordSir, as I told you always, her beauty and her brain go not together: she’s a good sign, but I have seen small reflection of her wit.Second LordAsideShe shines not upon fools, lest the reflection should hurt her.ClotenCome, I’ll to my chamber. Would there had been some hurt done!Second LordAsideI wish not so; unless it had been the fall of an ass, which is no great hurt.ClotenYou’ll go with us?First LordI’ll attend your lordship.ClotenNay, come, let’s go together.Second LordWell, my lord.Exeunt
