Bell (1774)Cesario, by the roses of the spring, By maid-hood, honour, truth and ev'rything, I love thee so, that maugre all thy pride, Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide. Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, For that I woo, thou therefore hath no cause; But reason thus with reason fetter, Love sought is good; but given unsought better. (p. 331-32) |
Inchbald (1808)Cesario, by the roses of the spring, By maidhood, honour, truth and everything, I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride, Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide. (p. 43) |
Kemble (1815) (same in Oxberry [1821] and Cumberland [1830])O, what a deal of scorn looks beautiful In the contempt and anger of his lip! Cesario, by the roses of the spring, By maidhood, honour, truth and everything, I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride, Nor wit, nor reason, can my passion hide. (p. 41) |
Folio (1623)O what a deal of scorn, lookes beautifull? In the contempt and anger of his lip, A murderous guilt shewes not it selfe more soone, Then love that would seeme hid; Loves night, is noone. Cesario, by the Roses of the Spring, By maid-hood, honor, truth and everything, I love thee so, that maugre all thy pride, Nor wit, nor reason, can my passion hide. Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, For that I woo, thou therefore hath no cause; But reason thus, with reason fetter, Love sought, is good, but given unsought, is better. (pp. 265-6) |
