Don Pedro

Your silence most offends me, and to be merry best becomes you; for, out of question, you were born in a merry hour.

Our interpretation.

Don Pedro teases someone for being quiet. He says silence bothers him and cheerfulness suits them better. He adds that they must have been born at a happy moment, a playful way of saying joy seems natural to them.
