I Hold Him But A Fool [Shakespeare For You]

🎭 I hold him but a fool that will endanger 
His body for a girl that loves him not.

— Turio, Two Gentlemen of Verona 5-4

[ACTING TIPS]

Turio was just told from Valentine that if he were to claim Silvia, he would be seen as an enemy of Verona.

Thus he immediately changed his mind and said this.

He is a petty, trivial man, whom you may know so many of such kind near you.  You know how to play him.

We also know that he is not in love with Silvia any way, but with the future position of Duke of Milan, by marrying her.
