Much Ado About Nothing

“The savage bull may, but if ever the sensible Benedick bear it, pluck off the bull’s horns and set them in my forehead, and let me be vilely painted, and in such great letters as they write ‘Here is good horse to hire’ let them signify under my sign. Here you may see Benedick the married man.” The speaker of this above mentioned quote is Benedick Prince of Padua.
