Here are quotes from when Hero is mentioned in Act IV
- Rich and precious gift
- give not this rotten orange to your friend
- she knows the heat of a luxurious bed; Her blush is guiltiness not modesty.
- not to knit my soul to an approved wanton
- you seem to me as Dian in her orb, As chaste as in the bud ere it be blown; But you are more intemperate in your blood that Venus, or those pamper'd animals that rage in savage sensuality.
- to link my friend to a common stale
- most like a liberal villain
- but fare thee well, most foul, most fair!
- thou pure impiety and impious purity!
- Dead, I think. Help, uncle! Hero! why, Hero! Uncle! signor Benedict! Friar!
- Death is the fairest cover for her shame
- Do not live, Hero, do not ope thin eyes; For, did I think thou wouldst not quickly die,
- why, she, o, she is fallen into a pit of ink, that the wide sea hath drops too few to wash her clean again and salt too little which may season give to her foul tainted flesh!
- To start into her face, a thousand innocent shames, in angel whiteness beat away those blushes; and in her eyes there hath appear'd a fire,
- If this sweet lady lie not guiltiness here under some biting error
- thou seest that all the grace that she hath left is that she will not add to her damnation a sin of perjury, she not denies it.
- Refuse me, hate me, torture me to death!
- if they speak but truth of her, these hands shall tear her, if they wrong her honour, the proudest of them shall hear of it.
- your daughter here the princes left for dead, let her awhile be secretly kept in, and publish it that she is dead indeed
- she be lamented, pitied and excused of every hearer
- and every lovely organ of her life shall come appall'd in more precious habit, more moving-delicate and full of life,
- surely I do believe your fair cousin in wronged
- sweet Hero, she is wronged, she is slandered, she is undone
- Hero was in this manner accused, in this very manner refused, and upon the grief of this suddenly died.
