guilty。 He knows I am no maid; and he'll swear to't: I'll swear I am a maid;
and he knows not。 Great King; I am no strumpet; by my life; I am either
maid; or else this old man's wife。 'Pointing to LAFEU' KING。 She does
abuse our ears; to prison with her。 DIANA。 Good mother; fetch my bail。
Stay; royal sir; Exit WIDOW The jeweller that owes the ring is sent for;
And he shall surety me。 But for this lord Who hath abus'd me as he knows
himself; Though yet he never harm'd me; here I quit him。 He knows
himself my bed he hath defil'd; And at that time he got his wife with child。

ALLS WELL THAT ENDS WELL
Dead though she be; she feels her young one kick; So there's my riddle:
one that's dead is quick… And now behold the meaning。
Re…enter WIDOW with HELENA
KING。 Is there no exorcist Beguiles the truer office of mine eyes? Is't
real that I see? HELENA。 No; my good lord; 'Tis but the shadow of a wife
you see; The name and not the thing。 BERTRAM。 Both; both; O; pardon!
HELENA。 O; my good lord; when I was like this maid; I found you
wondrous kind。 There is your ring; And; look you; here's your letter。 This
it says: 'When from my finger you can get this ring; And are by me with
child;' etc。 This is done。 Will you be mine now you are doubly won?
BERTRAM。 If she; my liege; can make me know this clearly; I'll love her
dearly; ever; ever dearly。 HELENA。 If it appear not plain; and prove untrue;
Deadly divorce step between me and you! O my dear mother; do I see you
living? LAFEU。 Mine eyes smell onions; I shall weep anon。 'To
PAROLLES' Good Tom Drum; lend me a handkercher。 So; I thank thee。
Wait on me home; I'll make sport with thee; let thy curtsies alone; they are
scurvy ones。 KING。 Let us from point to point this story know; To make
the even truth in pleasure flow。 'To DIANA' If thou beest yet a fresh
uncropped flower; Choose thou thy husband; and I'll pay thy dower; For I
can guess that by thy honest aid Thou kept'st a wife herself; thyself a
maid。… Of that and all the progress; more and less; Resolvedly more leisure
shall express。 All yet seems well; and if it end so meet; The bitter past;
more welcome is the sweet。 'Flourish'
EPILOGUE EPILOGUE。
KING。 The King's a beggar; now the play is done。 All is well ended if
this suit be won; That you express content; which we will pay With strife
to please you; day exceeding day。 Ours be your patience then; and yours
our parts; Your gentle hands lend us; and take our hearts。 Exeunt omnes
THE END
