Chapter 23 act four

Outside the Florentine Barracks Chen Jia led five or six ambush soldiers to go up. First minister, he will definitely pass the corner of this fence.When you rush up to him, all of you will be shouting in unison and talking strange things, even if you can't understand what you say, it doesn't matter; we will all pretend that we don't understand him, only one of us will listen If you understand, we will ask that person to come out and do the translation. Captain First Soldier, let me be the interpreter. Aren't you familiar with him? Can't he hear your voice? First Soldier No, Captain, I can assure you he cannot hear me.

First minister, then what do you tell us about the dialect of the south? First Soldier Just as you said to me. First Servant We must convince him that we are a guest corps in the enemy's army.He knew a little of the dialects of the neighboring countries, so we had to each of us babble nonsense that no one could understand; fortunately, we all knew what our purpose was, so we could tacitly pretend to understand each other; though Like an old crow, he gurgled for a while, the more confused the better.As for your interpreter, you must put on a vigilant and mischievous look.Ah, hurry up and ambush!Here he is, he must have come here to sleep for two o'clock, and then go back and make up some lies.

Enter Palo. It's ten o'clock in Palo; in three o'clock you can go back.What should I say I have done?This lie must be concocted very skillfully to convince them to believe it.They are already a little suspicious of me, and bad luck has happened to me one after another recently.I think my tongue is too bold, but my heart is too timid. When I see the shadow of Lord God of War and his minions, I will tremble with fear. If I can speak, I will be frightened and weak when I move. up. First Minister (narrator) This is the first time you've spoken the truth. Palo, I clearly know that the lost drum cannot be retrieved, and I also clearly know that I have no intention of retrieving the drum. What kind of ghost has possessed me and made me boast about it?I had to cut a few places on my body, that I might tell them it was the wound of a hard-fought enemy; but a slight wound would not convince them, and they would have to say, "Did you get out so easily?" It's a bit heavier, and I'm afraid it will hurt the flesh.What to do about this?Tongue that caused trouble, if you continue to hurt me with nonsense like this, I will cut you off and put you in the mouth of the old woman. I would rather be a mute in this life.

Chen A (narrator) Does he even have self-knowledge? Palo I think if I tore my clothes, or broke my Spanish sword, they might be convinced. Chen Jia (narrator) It's not that cheap. Palo either cut off my beard and said it was a ruse. Chen A (narrator) This is not good. Palo either threw my clothes in the water and said they were stripped by the enemy. Neither can Chen Jia (narrator). Palo I could swear I jumped off the top of the wall, that wall had-- How tall is Chen Jia (narrator)? Palo thirty feet. Chen A (narrator) Even if you bet three heavy curses, no one will believe you.

Palo, it's very good that I can pick up a drum abandoned by the enemy, then I can swear that I took it back from the enemy. First Minister (narrator) Take it easy, and you'll hear the enemy's drums. Palo Ouch, it's really the drumbeat of the enemy! (Internal uproar.) Chen Jia Seroga? Mofuses, Ka Ge, Ka Ge, Ka Ge. Everyone, Brother Ka, Brother Ka, Willianda? Pai? Kao Bo, Brother Ka. (They capture Palo and cover their eyes with scarves.) Palo!Help!Help!Don't cover my eyes. First Soldier Bosgos? Seromel Tuo? Bosgos. Palo I know you're a troop of Muscovites; I won't speak your words, this time I'm really going to die.If any of you knows German, Danish, Dutch, Italian, or French, ask him to speak to me, and I can tell him the secrets of the Florentine army.

First Soldier Persian Goth? Vulvador.I understand your words and speak your words.Creliponto.Friends, you can't lie, be careful, seventeen knives are pointed at your chest. Palo Ouch! First Soldier Ouch!Get on your knees and pray.Manga Levania Turchi. Chenjia Oskopidul Chas? Volivoko. General Soldier A promises not to kill you for the time being!Now we're going to blindfold you like this and take you back for questioning, maybe you can tell us some military secrets and redeem your dog's life. Palo, let me live!I can tell you all the secrets of our battalion: how many men there are, how they fight, and many other things that will surprise you.

Second Soldier But you can't tell lies, can you? Palo, if I tell half a lie, I will not be reborn after death. First soldier Akado? Lin him.Come on, spare you a few more hours of life. (Leading some soldiers to escort Palo down, there was a commotion inside for a while.) First Servant, go and tell Count Rothion and my brother that we have caught the wild bird, and that he is blindfolded, and let them decide what to do with it. Second Soldier Yes, Captain. First lord, tell them again that he will reveal our secret to us. Second Soldier Yes, Captain. Chen A, now let me lock him up properly first. (same below.)

The second Florence.A room in a widow's house Enter Bertram and Diana. Bertram They tell me your name is Fontibert. Diana No, my lord, my name is Diana. Bertram, you are more beautiful than the fairy in the moon!But beauty, is it true that you are so beautiful on the outside, that love has no place in your heart?If the blazing fire of youth had not burned your soul, you would be a stone statue rather than a girl.If you were a living person, you shouldn't be so ruthless.You should now follow the example of your mother when she began to conceive you. Diana She is a chaste woman. Bertram, you too.

Diana No, my mother did her due, as you have your wife's due. Bertram stop talking about that!Please stop embarrassing me.I married her out of compulsion, but I love you because the love in my own heart drives me.I am willing to be at your disposal forever. Diana Yes, you are willing to be usurped till we are not willing to be at your beck and call; but when you have plucked the roses from our boughs, you leave the thorns to sting us, and mock us instead The branches and leaves are old. Bertram Haven't I sworn to you countless times? Diana's many oaths may not be able to express sincerity, only one sincere oath is enough.When we take an oath, when do we not refer to the day of the oath, and take the highest thing as our witness?May I ask if I really don't love you at all, but I swear by God's name, saying that I love you deeply, can such an oath be believed?It doesn't make sense to say that you love God and swear in His name, but do things against His will.So those oaths of yours are empty words, equivalent to a contract without a printed letter-at least I think so.

Bertram don't think so.Don't be so holy and cruel.Love is sacred, and my pure heart has never known that treachery that you rebuke men.Don't be so indifferent to me anymore, please come and comfort my hunger and thirst.You just have to say that you are mine, and I will love you forever and always. Diana Men use this method to seduce us from our virginity.Give me that ring. Good Bertram, I can lend it to you, but I cannot give it to you. Diana Would you not, my lord? Bertram This is the honor of my family, and it would be a great misfortune to lose it. Diana My honor is like this ring; My chastity is also a treasure of my family, and it would be a great misfortune if I lost it.I can borrow your words, and use the word "honor" to resist your useless temptations.

Bertram Well, take my ring; my home, my honor, and even my life are thine, and I will obey you in everything. Diana At midnight tonight, if you knock on the window of my bedroom, I can try to call my mother in advance.But you have to obey me on one condition. After you have conquered my virgin body, you can't delay for more than an hour, and don't say a word to me.There are good reasons for this, and you will find out when the ring is returned to you.I will put another ring on your finger tonight as a token of future.See you tonight, don't miss the appointment.You have won a wife, and my life may be ruined forever. Bertram I got you, it's like stepping into heaven on earth. (Down.) Diana One day you will thank God that you met me.My mother told me how he would woo me, and she was right as if she lived in him; men swore the same way, she said.He swore he would marry me when his wife died; I'd rather die than share his bed.This Frenchman is so unreliable that it is better to be a virgin for life than to marry him.He wanted to use deception to seduce me, and I will use deception to repay him now, so it can't be considered a crime. (Down.) Scene 3 Florence Barracks Enter two or three ministers and soldiers. First sir Have you not given him his mother's letter? Second Servant I gave it to him an hour ago; and something in the letter seemed to stir his conscience, for after reading it, he seemed a different man. Chen Jia, he really shouldn't have abandoned such a gentle and virtuous wife. Chen Yi, he shouldn't go against the king's will. Didn't the king make an extra gift for his happiness?I can tell you one thing, but you cannot tell it to others. After you told me, Chen Jia, I will bury it in my heart and never tell others about it. Second lord He's here in Florence with a girl of good family, whose chasteness is well-known; to-night he's going to spoil her with his lust, and he's given his precious ring I gave it to her, and I still think that this shady business of mine is very profitable. Lord God forgive us!We humans are really nothing! The second subject is but a traitor to himself, and like all acts of rebellion, it always reveals its true nature before it can achieve its evil purpose.He would actually damage his own dignity by doing such a thing, but although he reaped the consequences, he didn't care about it. First lord, we deserve death for boasting so much of our dirty plans.So can't he come tonight? Chen Yi has already arranged his schedule, and he must come back after midnight. Chen Jia, wait a little longer and he should come.I very much hope that he can see the true face of his companion with his own eyes, so that he can clearly understand whether his own judgment is wrong. He values ​​this liar very much. Chen Yi, let's wait for him to come before dealing with that person, so that he has nowhere to hide. Chen Jia, let's talk about the war now. Have you heard any news recently? Chen Yi, I heard that the two parties are already negotiating peace. No, I can tell you for sure that the peace talks have been established. Second Servant Then what else can Count Rothion do?Was he traveling elsewhere again, or was he going back to France? Chen Jia, if you ask me like this, it is likely that he has not regarded you as a close friend. Chen Yi hopes so, otherwise I will be inseparable from what he did. Chen A can tell you that his wife had run away from his home two months ago, saying that she was going to visit St. York Le.Grand; having performed the rites according to the strictest ceremonies, she settled there, and because her sentimental nature could not bear the onslaught of sorrow, she fell ill and sighed her last breath, and now It was singing in the sky. Chen Yi, this news may not be accurate, right? Chen A, everything that happened to her before her death was proved by her own letter; as for her death, of course she could not announce it herself, but it was also fully confirmed by the local priest. Is the Earl fully aware of the news of Chen Yi? First Lord Yes, he already knows everything in detail. Chen Yi must have been very happy when he heard the news, it's really sad to think about it. First, how often we sometimes count our losses as great blessings! Second Lord Sometimes we weep because of luck!Although he has gained great honor here by virtue of his bravery, the disgrace he will encounter when he returns home must also be equally great. Man's life is like a cloth woven with threads of good and evil; our good deeds must be scourged by our faults, so as not to be too arrogant; would be utterly hopeless. Enter a Servant. First minister, where is your master? Servant He met the Duke on the road, and he has said goodbye to him, and he will go back to France in the morning.The duke had already written him a letter of recommendation, praising his talents to the king. It is indispensable for Chen Yi to say a few good words for him, even if they are lavish. No matter how nice Chen Jia sounds, I'm afraid it can't appease the king's anger.he came. Enter Bertram. My lord, my lord!Is it past midnight already? Bertram I've done sixteen things to-night that each took a month to do.Let me tell you: I have bid farewell to the duke, to those closest to him, buried a wife, arranged for her, written to my mother that I was coming home, and hired Well the guards that escorted me home; besides these important things, many little things have been done; only one of the most important things has not been done. Second, if this matter is a bit tricky and you have to leave early in the morning, then you should get it done quickly now. Bertram I'd like to let it go, and hope to never hear it mentioned again.Now let's act out a dialogue between a fool and a soldier.Come, catch that imposter; he's tricked me like a charlatan. Chen Yi took him out. (Exit Soldier) He's been chained all night, poor warrior! Bertram deserved it too, his usual spurs on his heels were too big for him.What was his air after he was arrested? First Sir, I have told you, my lord, that he cannot even sit upright without the fetters.To put it plainly: he cried like a little girl who has overturned a milk jug.He made Morgan a priest, and confessed to him all his life from the day he was born till he was chained; what do you want him to confess? Bertram, he didn't mention me, did he? Chen Yi's confession has been written down, and he can read it publicly in front of him later; if he ever mentioned your matter—I think you were mentioned by him—please listen patiently. Enter the soldier on Palo. Bertram damn thing!He even covered his face!He won't say anything about me.Let me keep quiet and listen to what he has to say. The masked man is here!Puto D'Adalousa. First soldier, he said he would torture you, what do you think? Palo, you don't have to make me, I'll tell you all I know; and if you make me a pulp, I'll say the same. Soldier A Bosco? Qi Mo was. Chenjia Bobo Lipinta? Chekemoge. First Soldier is a kind general.Here is a list of questions, the general asked me to ask you according to it, and you have to answer honestly. Palo I hope to live, I will not lie. First Soldier "First, ask him how many horses the Duke has." What's your answer? There are five or six thousand horses in Palo, but they are all old, weak and useless. The team is scattered everywhere, and the officers are like beggars. I can vouch for you with my reputation and life. First Soldier Then I will take your answer in this way. Palo All right, I can swear whatever you want. Bertram can ignore everything, what a hopeless bastard! First sir, you are mistaken, my lord; this is Mr. Parrot, the famous military expert, by his own words, with all his strategy hidden in his cravat, and all his martial arts in his scabbard. . Second subject I no longer believe in a man who polishes his sword; nor do I believe that a well-dressed man has any real talents. First soldier, your words are marked. Palo I said five or six thousand horses, or about that number, and I was telling the truth, mark it down, I was telling the truth. The number that Chen A said is eighty-nine percent true. I don't appreciate Bertram telling the truth like he does. Palo, please remember, I said that those officers are like beggars. First Soldier Well, take note of that too. Thank you Palo.The truth is the truth, these guys are shabby. First soldier, "Ask him how many infantry there are." How do you answer? Palo, if you let me live, I will not lie.Let me see: Spirio, one hundred and fifty; Sebastian, one hundred and fifty; Columbus, one hundred and fifty; Jaques, one hundred and fifty; Gilthin, Cosmo, Lodovic, and Graty, two hundred and fifty each; my own company, and Chitopher, Vermont, and Benti, two hundred and fifty each: There were less than fifteen thousand people, good and bad, and half of them dared not even brush off the snow from their own coats, for fear that if they shook their bodies, they would collapse like rotten logs. . What should Bertram do with him? I don't think it's necessary for Chen A, we should thank him.Ask him how I am, the duke trusts me or not. First soldier, I have written your words down. "Ask him if there is a Frenchman named Captain Doman in the duke's battalion; what is the duke's credit to him; .” How do you answer?what do you know Palo, please ask me one by one, let me answer them one by one. First Soldier Do you know this Captain Doman? I know him, Palo. He was an apprentice in a tailor's shop in Paris. He was kicked out by his master because he made a stupid girl who didn't know anything about the mayor's house pregnant. (Chen Jia raises his hand to fight.) Bertram wait, don't hit him; a tile will fall and smash his head. First Soldier Well, is the Captain in the Duke of Florence's battalion? Palo, he's in the Duke's battalion, and his reputation is in shambles. FIRST MAN Don't look at me like this, my good lord, he'll talk of you. First Soldier What is the duke's credit to him? The Duke of Parrot knows only that he is a junior officer of mine, and wrote me the day before yesterday asking me to dismiss him; I think his letter is still in my pocket. First soldier, let's search. To tell you the truth, Palo, I don't remember it very well, maybe it was in my pocket, maybe I already filed it in the battalion with the rest of the Duke's letters to me. First Soldier I found it; here is a piece of paper, Shall I read it to you? Palo I don't know if it's a letter from the duke. Bertram Our interpreter is really pretending. Chen Jia is indeed very similar. First Soldier "Diana, the Earl is a rich fool—" Palo that is not a letter from the duke, it is a letter from me to a good girl named Diana in Florence, I advise her not to be seduced by others, because there is a Count Rothion who has taken a fancy to She, he is a silly guy who likes to play tricks, thinking about women all day long.Please put this letter away. First Soldier No, I'm sorry, I'll read it first. Parrot I write this letter with the utmost sincerity, and with the girl's future in mind; For I know that the young count is a dangerous bastard, a lecherous ghost, and a well-known lord of virgins. Bertram damn repeat villain! first soldier If he swears to you, You demand gold and silver from him; You have to push half and half, half-hearted, half-hearted, Don't let him have a full taste of tenderness. Once the fat was swallowed in his mouth, You should never want to pay him money. A soldier advises you like this: I'd rather hang out with older people, Don't mess around with young men. Enter your faithful Palo. Bertram I'll stick this poem on his brow, and drag him through the battalion, And whip him all the way. My lord, this is your loyal friend, the expert who is proficient in all languages, and the soldier who knows everything. Bertram I used to hate cats, and now he is a cat to me. First Soldier Friend, by the look of our General, we're going to hang you. General Paluo, no matter what, please let me live.I am not afraid of death, but because I know that my sins are serious, so I can live my life and repent for the rest of my life.General, lock me in the dungeon, lock me in the shackles, or throw me anywhere, please spare my life! First Soldier If you can honestly confess everything, there may be room for accommodation.Now let's go ahead and ask you about that Captain Doman.You have answered the duke's credit to him and his courage, now ask you whether he is a man of integrity? Palo, he can steal eggs in the monk's temple; when it comes to raping women, no one can compare with him; breaking oaths and breaking contracts is his specialty; The greatest virtue, because when he drinks, he will be drunk like a pig, and will fall on the bed, and will not cause trouble again. The only unlucky thing is his bedding, but people know his temper, and they always carry him to sleep on the straw.I have nothing to say about his integrity; he had everything that an honest man should not have, and he had nothing that an honest man should have. Chen Jia, he talked so gaudyly that I kind of liked him when he got up. Bertram Because he described you so well?damn thing!He is becoming more and more like a cat. First soldier, what do you say about his military ability? Parlow I don't want to tell a lie about him, he once played drums in an English troupe, and I don't know his military experience otherwise; People stand in line.I wish to say as good a thing as possible about him, but I'm not quite sure of this last matter. Chen Jia's shamelessness and thick face are simply unprecedented, such a treasure is also rare. Damn Bertram!What a cat he is. First Soldier Since he's such a vile man, I don't need to ask you if bribes can induce him to rebel. Palo gave him a few cents, and he could sell his soul, including hereditary inheritance, and never regret it. First Soldier He has a brother, what about the other Captain Doman? Chen Yi why did he ask me? First Soldier What is he like? Palo was also an old crow in his nest; in good ways he was worse than his brother, and in bad ways he was a hundred times better than his brother.His elder brother is known as the No. 1 coward in Tianzi, but he is willing to bow down in front of him.When he backed up, he ran faster than anyone else; when he moved forward, he couldn't move an inch. FIRST SOLDIER If you're spared, will you give us the duke of Florence? Palo is willing, and their cavalry captain is the Earl of Rossion. First Soldier I'll tell the General, and see what he thinks. PALO (narrator) I'll never play any more bad luck drums!I've been trying to pretend to be a good man, and cheat that lewd count brother, and I've got into such a disaster; but who would have guessed there'd be an ambush where I was going? First soldier, my friend, there is no other way, you are still going to die.The general said, you have shamelessly revealed the secrets of your own army, and you have slandered the well-known nobles in this way, leaving you in this world is of no use, so you must be executed.Come, executioner, and chop off his head. Palo, my god, please forgive me. If I must die, let me see it with my own eyes. First Soldier I will allow you to bid farewell to your friends. (Removes the cloth from Palo's face) Look, is there anyone you know here? Good morning Bertram, Captain! Second subject God bless you, Captain Palo! Lord God bless you, Captain! Captain Chen B, I'm going to France, do you want me to take any letter to Lord Lafeu? First officer, good captain, would you copy to me the love poem you wrote for Count Rothion to Mademoiselle Diana?It's a pity that I am a coward number one in the sky, otherwise I will definitely force you to write it silently; now I dare not force you, so I have to excuse myself. (Bertram and his servants A and B.) Captain First Soldier, you made a fool of yourself this time! Paloming's gun is easy to hide, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against. Even a hero can't escape tricks and schemes. First Soldier If you could find a country where there's no one but whores and whores, you'd be king of the south there, and build a shameless country.Good-bye, captain; I am going to France too, and we shall speak of you there. (Down.) Palo doesn't care, I still do my own way.If I had been a heart-warming person, I would be ashamed today; but even though I have lost my job, I still ate, drank, and slept soundly as usual. People like me call home everywhere, and can't go anywhere.But I want to warn those friends who like to brag, don't brag too much, one day you will find yourself a donkey.My sword, get rusty from now on!Palo, don't be ashamed.Live with a thick skin!If people tease you, you can also get lucky by letting others tease you. You are born in the world, and no one will be helpless.They have all gone, wait for me to catch up. (Down.) Fourth Florence.A room in a widow's house Enter Helena, the Widow, and Diana. HELENA So that you may know that I do not deceive you, One of the greatest men of the day may pledge me; Before my purpose I must kneel before his throne.In the past I had done him a service almost as valuable as his life, and even the stubborn and ruthless Tartar could not help expressing thanks from the bottom of his heart.I was told that he was in Marseilles now and that someone would escort us there.I also want to tell you that people think I am dead.Now the army has been disbanded, and my husband has gone home. If I can get the blessing of heaven and the permission of the king, we can also go home early. Believe me, dear widow, I am your most faithful servant, and I am glad to serve you whatever you trust me to do. Madame Helena, you may also believe that I am one of your best friends, always thinking of how to repay your kindness.You should believe that since it is God's destiny for your daughter to help me find a husband, it must also enable me to help her marry a husband of her own accord.I just don't understand the psychology of men, they would pour all their tenderness into a woman who is regarded as an object!The deep night made him unable to realize that he had been fooled by others, hugging a snake and scorpion that he was afraid of avoiding, and thought it was the jade man who had disappeared like a yellow crane, but let's talk about these words later.Diana, I also beg you to be wronged a little for my sake. No matter what you tell me to do, Diana, as long as I don't lose my reputation, I will endure everything for you and die without complaint. Helena, please be patient for a while, it will be summer in a blink of an eye, and the wild rose will soon be full of green leaves, covering the thorns all over its body; after suffering, there will be happiness.We can set off, the car is ready, and the tired spirit has been rested.The success or failure of everything depends on the outcome of the backcourt; if you can get your wish, why not worry about the twists and turns. (same below.) Fifth Rossion.A Room in the Countess' Mansion Enter the Countess, Laffer, and the Clown. Laffer No, no, no, your son is only behaving like this because he was seduced by that scoundrel, and if he doesn't get rid of that guy, all the young people in the country will be poisoned by him.If it weren't for this bumble bee, the daughter-in-law would definitely be living well in the world now, and the son-in-law would still stay at home and be favored by the king. COUNTESS I wish I never knew him, for he killed one of the most virtuous ladies that ever lived.Even if she was my own flesh and blood, I could not love her more deeply if I had endured the pain of pregnancy. Laffer is really a good girl. The so-called Ganoderma lucidum is something you can meet but never ask for. Isn't she a clown, my lord, it must taste delicious when mixed with vegetables. Laffer bastard, who told you about vanilla?We're talking grass jelly. Clown, I am not Nebuchadnezzar the Great as mentioned in the Bible.He's gone crazy and eats grass all day, my lord, I'm no good with grass. Laffer Which do you think you are--a villain or a fool? When a clown works for a woman, I'm a fool, my lord; when a clown works for a man, I'm a wretch. Where does Laffer's distinction come from? Clown I cheated a man's wife, and did it for him. Laverna, you really are a villain working for men. Clown I gave his wife this little stick I used to play, so I worked for her too. Laffer had a point; he was a villain and a fool. Clown please take care of me. Laffer No, no, no. It's okay to be a clown. If you don't want to take care of me, I can still find someone who is no less important than you. Who is Laverna?Is it French? Clown In truth, my lord, he is an Englishman in name; but he looks more proud in France than in England. Which nobleman are you talking about, Laffer? The Clown Black Prince, my lord; that is, the Lord of Darkness, that is, the Devil. Laffer, shut up, and take this bag of money.I do not mean to lure you away from the master you have just spoken of; serve him well. Clown I come from the woods, my lord, I love fires to keep me warm; and the master I just spoke of always keeps the fires warm.He's king over all the world; But let the nobles stay in his court, I'll live in the hut with the narrow door, Which the rich despise to visit.A few who are willing to belittle themselves may go, but most pampered will be afraid of the cold, and they would rather follow the road of flowers, to the wide gate, to the fire. ⑥ Laffer go, I'm a little tired of you; I'll tell you first, so I don't upset you.Go ahead and keep an eye on my horses and don't mess around. Clown If I fool around while looking at horses, my lord, it's nothing but "horses." (Down.) Laffer is really a smart, troublesome villain. Countess, you are quite right.My husband liked him very much when he was alive, and ordered us to keep him at home; so he thinks he has the right to talk nonsense.He really has no sense of propriety when he speaks, and he can make fun of whoever he likes to make fun of. Laffer, I also think he is very interesting, so it doesn't matter if I ask him to talk about it.I was just about to tell you that ever since I heard the news of the young lady's death and the news that your son is coming back, I begged the king to make a marriage for the little girl; in fact, they are both young, so It was the king who first thought of it and mentioned it to my face.Your Majesty has promised me to be the Iceman himself; he was a little unhappy with your son, and this will make him forget about the past.I don't know what Ma'am means? COUNTESS I am quite satisfied, my lord; and hope this business will succeed. King Lafeu has set out from Marseilles, and he is as strong as a man who has just turned thirty.He will be here tomorrow, the news came to me from a person who has always been reliable, and it is probably correct. Countess, it is a blessing in my life that I was able to see the king again before I died.I have already received a letter from my son, saying that he will be home tonight; if you don't mind the narrowness of the dormitory, please stay here for a day or two until the two of them meet, okay? Mrs. Laffer, I was thinking about my qualifications to participate in the discussion between the two of them. Countess Only your noble status is enough. Laffer I can't speak of dignity, but thank God, it's all right. Enter the clown. Clown, madam!The young master is coming, and he has a piece of velvet stuck to his face; if there is a scar under the velvet piece, you will have to ask the velvet, but it is a good piece of velvet.His left cheek was swollen up to two and a half inches, but his right cheek was bare. Laffer's glorious scar is the best decoration. ...I think it's probably a scar. The clown is definitely a bayberry sore. Laffer Let us meet the son, I am eager to speak to this gallant young warrior. There are more than ten clowns, and they all wear beautiful hats with feathers on them. The feathers will nod and greet everyone when they see them. (same below.)
