What should i do with him - dress him in my apparel and make him my waiting gentle woman? He that hath a beard, is more than a youth : and he that hath no beard is less than a man : and he that is more than a youth is not for me, and he that is less than a man, I am not for him.
This quote is being used by Beatrice. By this she means that she wants to know is she too with a man who has beard on his face, she asks if she should dress him up in her clothes and make him her maid. She further states that a man who is without beard is too young and she is not right for him and that a man who has beard is too old and is not right for her.
The dramatic signifiance is that Beatrice is most likely going to go back on her own words and this leaves the raeder in a sense of anxiety.
