Love's Labour's Lost
[I, 1]

Biron

No, my good lord; I have sworn to stay with you:
And though I have for barbarism spoke more
Than for that angel knowledge you can say,
Yet confident I'll keep what I have swore
And bide the penance of each three years' day.
Give me the paper; let me read the same;
And to the strict'st decrees I'll write my name.

And thereupon thou speak'st the fairest shoot.

Thou now request'st but moonshine in the water.

Then, in our measure do but vouchsafe one change.
Thou bid'st me beg: this begging is not strange.

But that thou interrupt'st our merriment.
