Leonato:
Are you yet determined to marry with my brother's daughter?
[Claudio nods]
Leonato:
Call her forth, brother. Here's the friar ready.
[Four veiled ladies are presented]
Claudio:
Which is the lady I must seize upon?
Antonio:
[Brings forth one lady]
This same is she and I do give you her.
Claudio:
Sweet, let me see your face.
Leonato:
No, that you shall not till you take her hand before this friar and swear to marry her.
Claudio:
[Kneels]
Give me your hand, before this holy friar. I am your husband if you like of me.
Hero:
[Removes veil]
Don Pedro:
Hero that is dead.
Leonato:
She died, my lord, but whiles her slander lived.
Hero:
And when I lived, I was your other wife. And when you loved you were my other husband. One Hero died defiled, but I do live and surely as I live, I am a maid.
