: she is if she be fair, 'tis the better for her; an she be not, she has the mends in her own hands.1 Troi. Good Pandarus! How now, Pandarus? Pan. I have had my labor for my travel; illthought on of her, and ill-thought on of you: gone between and between, but small thanks for my labor. Troi. What, art thou angry, Pandarus? what, with me? Pan.
