DON PEDROCome, lady, come; you have lost the heart of Signio

Summary

In this quote from William Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing, Don Pedro comments to Beatrice about how Benedick has fallen in love with her. Beatrice humorously responds by saying that she borrowed Benedick's heart temporarily, but she gave him two hearts in return for his one. She also mentions that he had previously tricked her to win her heart, implying that she is now getting even. Beatrice playfully asserts that she doesn't want Benedick to outwit or deceive her, as she doesn't want to be seen as foolish in love.
