Doesn%26#039;t need a translation, it is Modern English. Take it phrase by phrase, and using a good dictionary, write done what each means, if you cant figure out a word even with the dictionary, contact me and I will tell you what the work means.

I don%26#039;t know if this summary from RSC will help.


I think you%26#039;ll have to look up every word that you don%26#039;t understandin the monologue yourself.

The story of All%26#039;s Well That Ends Well





Helena, the orphaned daughter of a physician, has been adopted by the Countess of Rossillion and is secretly in love with the Countess%26#039; son, Bertram. He is to leave Rossillion for the French court, where the King is gravely ill. Wishing to follow him, Helena journeys to Paris to cure the King of %26quot;a fistula%26quot; with one of her father%26#039;s old remedies.





The King recovers and grants Helena as reward the choice of a husband from all the Lords at court. She asks for Bertram, who is outraged at being commanded to marry a woman he sees as little better than a servant. The ceremony goes ahead but Bertram leaves immediately for the Italian wars, vowing that he will not accept Helena as his wife until she has conceived his child and obtained from him a ring - two seemingly impossible conditions.





Bertram travels to Florence, where he is quickly promoted. There he meets, falls for and plans to seduce Diana, a widow%26#039;s daughter. Helena too travels to Florence, as a pilgrim and she too meets Diana. Helena convinces Diana to let her take Diana%26#039;s place in Bertram%26#039;s bed. Helena sleeps with Bertram, falls pregnant by him and manages to


get his ring.





News reaches Bertram that Helena is dead. Relieved, he returns to France and the Court in Paris. There he makes plans to marry the daughter of a Lord - but Diana reappears to denounce him, saying he promised her marriage only to desert her. Bertram angrily denies her accusations and is about to have her arrested when Helena enters, wearing Bertram%26#039;s ring and pregnant with his child. His conditions have been met and he has no choice but to accept Helena as his wife.
