Answer:
In Act I, Scene 1 of Shakespeare's play "Much Ado About Nothing," the messenger informs Leonato that the Prince Don Pedro and his companions Claudio and Benedick are returning from battle. He tells Leonato that Claudio "hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age, doing in the figure of a lamb the feats of a lion," meaning that Claudio has fought bravely and exceeded expectations for someone his age. The messenger also says that Benedick "hath done good service, and they say he is of a very noble disposition," indicating that Benedick has also fought well and is known for his noble character. Finally, the messenger tells Leonato that Don Pedro "hath bestowed much honour on a young Florentine called Claudio," suggesting that Don Pedro has recognized Claudio for his valor and bestowed some honor upon him.
