PREFACE FROM THE EDITOR

Webster’s paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in
English courses. By using a running English-to-Spanish thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this
edition of All’s Well That Ends Well by William Shakespeare was edited for three audiences. The
first includes Spanish-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an
English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL),
or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking
students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Spanish speakers enrolled in English speaking
schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in
Spanish in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement® (AP®)1 or
similar examinations. By using the Webster's Spanish Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an
English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Spanish
or English.

Webster’s edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of
difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are
given lower priority compared to “difficult, yet commonly used” words. Rather than supply a single
translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Spanish, allowing readers to
better grasp the ambiguity of English, and avoid them using the notes as a pure translation crutch.
Having the reader decipher a word’s meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary
retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If
a difficult word is not translated on a page, chances are that it has been translated on a previous
page. A more complete glossary of translations is supplied at the end of the book; translations are
extracted from Webster’s Online Dictionary.

Definitions of remaining terms as well as translations can be found at www.websters-online-
dictionary.org. Please send suggestions to [email protected]

LAFEU.
You shall find of the king a husband, madam;--you, sir, a father: he that so

is such abundance.

LAFEU.
He hath abandoned his physicians, madam; under whose practices he hath
persecuted time with hope; and finds no other advantage in the process but
only the losing of hope by time.%
COUNTESS.
This young gentlewoman had a father--O, that 'had!' how sad a passage 'tis!--
whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would
have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work.
Would, for the king's sake, he were living! I think it would be the death of
the king's disease.
LAFEU.
How called you the man you speak of, madam?
COUNTESS.
He was famous, sir, in his profession, and it was his great right to be so--
Gerard de Narbon.
LAFEU.
He was excellent indeed, madam; the king very lately spoke of him
admiringly and mourningly; he was skilful enough to have liv'd still, if
knowledge could be set up against mortality.
BERTRAM.
What is it, my good lord, the king languishes of?
LAFEU.
A fistula, my lord.
BERTRAM.
I heard not of it before.
LAFEU.
I would it were not notorious.--Was this gentlewoman the daughter of
Gerard de Narbon?
COUNTESS.
His sole child, my lord, and bequeathed to my overlooking. I have those

hopes of her good that her education promises; her dispositions she inherits,
which makes fair gifts fairer; for where an unclean mind carries virtuous
qualities, there commendations go with pity,--they are virtues and traitors
too: in her they are the better for their simpleness; she derives her honesty,
and achieves her goodness.%
LAFEU.
Your commendations, madam, get from her tears.
COUNTESS.
'Tis the best brine a maiden can season her praise in. The remembrance of
her father never approaches her heart but the tyranny of her sorrows takes all
livelihood from her cheek. No more of this, Helena,--go to, no more, lest it
be rather thought you affect a sorrow than to have.
HELENA.
I do affect a sorrow indeed; but I have it too.
LAFEU.
Moderate lamentation is the right of the dead; excessive grief the enemy to
the living.
COUNTESS.
If the living be enemy to the grief, the excess makes it soon mortal.
BERTRAM.
Madam, I desire your holy wishes.
LAFEU.
How understand we that?
COUNTESS.
Be thou blest, Bertram, and succeed thy father
In manners, as in shape! thy blood and virtue
Contend for empire in thee, and thy goodness
Share with thy birthright! Love all, trust a few,
Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy
Rather in power than use; and keep thy friend
