Therefore, sweet Proteus, my direction-giver,
Let us into the city presently,
To sort some gentlemen well skill'd in music.
I have a sonnet that will serve the turn
To give the onset to thy good advice.

Duke. About it, gentlemen.

Pro. We'll wait upon your grace till after supper,
And afterward determine our proceedings.
Duke. Even now about it: I will pardon you.

Therefore, above the rest, we parley to you.
If not, we'll make you sit, and rifle you.

Are you content to be our general ?
Speed. Sir, we are undone. These are the villains To make a virtue of necessity,
That all the travellers do fear so much.

And live, as we do, in this wilderness?
Val. My friends,

3 Out. No; we detest such vile, base practices. Val. To Verona.

Come, go with us: we'll bring thee to our cave, 1 Out. Whence came you?

Pro. Already have I been false to Valentine, 2 Out. What! were you banish'd thence ?

And now I must be as unjust to Thurio. Val. I was.

Under the colour of commending him, 2 Out. For what offence ?

I have access my own love to prefer ; Val. For that which now torments me to rehearse. But Silvia is too fair, too true, too holy, I kill'd a man, whose death I much repent;

To be corrupted with my worthless gifts. But yet I slew him manfully, in fight,

When I protest true loyalty to her, Without false vantage, or base treachery.

She twits me with my falsehood to my

She bids me think how I have been forsworn, Val. I was, and held me glad of such a doom. In breaking faith with Julia whom I lov'd : 1 Out. Have you the tongues ?

And, notwithstanding all her sudden quips, Val. My youthful travel therein made me happy, The least whereof would quell a lover's hope, Or else I had been often miserable.

Yet, spaniel-like, the more she spurns my love, 3 Out. By the bare scalp of Robin Hood's fat friar, The more it grows, and fawneth on her still. This fellow were a king for our wild faction.

But here comes Thurio. Now must we to her window, 1 Out. We'll have him. Sirs, a word.

And give some evening music to her ear. [They talk apart

Enter Thurio, and Musicians. Speed. Master, be one of them :

Pro. Ay, gentle Thurio; for, you know, that love Val. Peace, villain !

Will creep in service where it cannot go. 2 Out. Tell us this : have you any thing to take to ? Thu. Ay; but I hope, sir, that you love not here. Val. Nothing, but my fortune.

Pro. Sir, but I do; or else I would be hence. 3 Out. Know then, that some of us are gentlemen, Thu. Whom? Silvia ? Such as the fury of ungovern'd youth

Pro. Ay, Silvia,- for your sake. Thrust from the company of awful men:

Thu. I thank you for your own. Now, gentlemen, Myself was from Verona banished,

That I despise thee for thy wrongful suit,
Host. Ay; but peace! let's hear 'em.

And by and by intend to chide myself,

Even for this time I spend in talking to thee.
Who is Silvia ? what is she,

Pro. I grant, sweet love, that I did love a lady;
That all our swains commend her ?

But she is dead.
Holy, fair, and wise as free;

I am betroth'd ; and art thou not asham'd
For beauty lives with kindness ?
Love doth to her eyes repair,

To help him of his blindness;

And, being help'd, inhabits there.

Assure thyself, my love is buried.
Then to Silvia let us sing,

Pro. Sweet lady, let me rake it from the earth.
That Silvia is excelling ;

Sil. Go to thy lady's grave, and call her's thence;
She excels each mortal thing,

Or, at the least, in her's sepulchre thine.
Upon the dull earth dwelling :

Jul. [Aside.] He heard not that.
To her let us garlands bring.

To hear me speak the message I am sent on. For I did play a lamentable part.

I hope my master's suit will be but cold,

Since she respects my mistress' love so much.
And full of new-found oaths, which he will break, Alas, how love can trifle with itself!
As easily as I do tear bis paper.

If that be all the difference in his love, Jul. She thanks you.

I'll get me such a colour'd periwig.
Sil. What say'st thou?

Her eyes are green as grass, and so are mine:
Jul. I thank you, madam, that you tender her. Ay, but her forehead's low, and mine's as high.
Poor gentlewoman! my master wrongs her much. What should it be, that he respects in her,
Sil. Dost thou know her?

But I can make respective in myself,
Jul. Almost as well as I do know myself:

If this fond love were not a blinded god ? To think upon her woes, I do protest,

Come, shadow, come, and take this shadow up,
That I have wept a hundred several times.

For 'tis thy rival. O thou senseless form!
Sil. Belike, she thinks, that Proteus hath forsook her. Thou shalt be worshipp'd, kiss'd, lov'd, and ador’d;
Jul. I think she doth, and that's ber cause of sorrow. And, were there sense in his idolatry,
Sil. Is she not passing fair ?

My substance should be statue in thy stead.
Jul. She hath been fairer, madam, than she is. I'll use thee kindly for thy mistress' sake,
When she did think my master lov'd her well, That us’d me so; or else, by Jove I vow,
She, in my judgment, was as fair as you;

ACT V.

SCENE I.— The Same. An Abbey.

Enter EGLAMOUR.
Egl. The sun begins to gild the western sky,
And now it is about the very hour,
That Silvia at friar Patrick's cell should meet me.
She will not fail; for lovers break not hours,
Unless it be to come before their time,
So much they spur their expedition.

Enter Silvia.
See, where she comes.--Lady, a happy evening.

Sil. Amen, amen. Go on, good Eglamour,
Out at the postern by the abbey-wall.
I fear, I am attended by some spies.

Egl. Fear not: the forest is not three leagues off ;
If we recover that, we are sure enough. [Exeunt.
SCENE II.--The Same. A Room in the Duke's

Palace.
Enter Thurio, Proteus, and Julia.
Thu. Sir Proteus, what says Silvia to my

suit?
Pro. O, sir! I find her milder than she was ;

And
yet she takes exceptions at your person.

1 Out. Where is the gentleman that was with her ? Thu. What! that my leg is too long?

3 Out. Being nimble-footed, he hath outrun us; Pro. No, that it is too little.

But Moyses, and Valerius, follow him.
Thu. I'll wear a boot to make it somewhat rounder. Go thou with her to the west end of the wood;
Jul. But love will not be spurr'd to what it loaths.

There is our captain.

We'll follow him that's fled :

[Aside. The thicket is beset; he cannot 'scape. Thu, What says she to my face?

1 Out. Come, I must bring you to our captain's cave. Pro. She says it is a fair one.

Fear not; he bears an honourable mind,
Thu. Nay, then the wanton lies: my face is black. And will not use a woman lawlessly.
Pro. But pearls are fair, and the old saying is, Sil. O Valentine ! this I endure for thee. (Exeunt.
Black men are pearls in beauteous ladies' eyes.

SCENE IV.-Another Part of the Forest.
Jul. 'Tis true, such pearls as put out ladies' eyes;

Enter VALENTINE.
For I had rather wink than look on them. [Aside.
Thu. How likes she my discourse?

Val. How use doth breed a habit in a man!
Pro. Ill, when you talk of war.

These shadowy, desert, unfrequented woods, Thu. But well, when I discourse of love and peace? I better brook than flourishing peopled towns. Jul. But better, indeed, when you hold your peace.

Here can I sit alone, unseen of any,

[Aside. And to the nightingale's complaining notes Thu. What says she to my valour ?

Tune my distresses, and record my woes.
Pro. O, sir! she makes no doubt of that.

O! thou that dost inhabit in my breast,
Jul. She needs not, when she knows it cowardice. Leave not the mansion too long tenantless,

[Aside. Lest, growing ruinous, the building fall,
Thu, What
says she to my birth?

And leave no memory of what it was !
Pro. That you are well deriv’d.

Repair me with thy presence, Silvia !
Jul. True ; from a gentleman to a fool. [Aside. Thou gentle nymph, cherish thy forlorn swain !-
Thu. Considers she my large possessions ?

What halloing, and what stir, is this to-day ? [Shouts.
Pro. O! ay; and pities them.

These my rude mates, that inake their wills their law,
Thu. Wherefore?

Have some unhappy passenger in chase.
Jul. That such an ass should owe them. [ Aside. They love me well; yet I have much to do,
Pro. That they are out by lease.

To keep them from uncivil outrages.
Jul. Here comes the duke.

Withdraw thee, Valentine: who's this comes here?
Enter Duke, angrily.

[Withdraws. Duke. How now, sir Proteus ! how now, Thurio !

Enter Proteus, Silvia, and Julia. Which of you saw sir Eglamour of late ?

Pro. Madam, this service having done for you, Thu. Not I.

(Though you respect not aught your servant doth) Pro, Nor I.

To hazard life, and rescue you from him, Duke. Saw you my daughter?

That would have forc'd your honour and your love, Pro. Neither.

Vouchsafe me, for my meed, but one fair look. Duke. Why, then

A smaller boon than this I cannot beg, She's filed unto that peasant Valentine,

And less than this, I am sure, you cannot give. And Eglamour is in her company:

Val. How like a dream is this, I see, and hear! "Tis true; for friar Lawrence met them both,

Love, lend me patience to forbear awhile. [Aside.
As he in penance wander'd through the forest: Sil. O, miserable ! unhappy that I am!
Him he knew well; and guess'd that it was she,

Pro. Unhappy were you, madam, ere I came;
But
, being mask'd, he was not sure of her:

But by my coming I have made you happy. Besides, she did intend confession

Sil. By thy approach thou mak'st me most unhappy. At Patrick's cell this even, and there she was not.

Jul. And me, when he approacheth to your presence. These likelihoods confirm her flight from hence :

[Aside. Therefore, I pray you, stand not to discourse,

Sil. Had I been seized by a hungry lion, But mount you presently; and meet with me I would have been a breakfast to the beast, Upon the rising of the mountain-foot,

Rather than have false Proteus rescue me. That leads towards Mantua, whither they are fled.

O, heaven! be judge, how I love Valentine, Dispatch, sweet gentlemen, and follow me.

Whose life's as tender to me as my soul ;

[Exit in haste. And full as much (for more there cannot be) Thu. Why, this it is to be a peevish girl,

I do detest false, perjur’d Proteus : That flies her fortune when it follows her.

Therefore be gone: solicit me no more. I'll after, more to be reveng'd on Eglamour,

Pro. What dangerous action, stood it next to death, Than for the love of reckless Silvia.

[Exit. Would I not undergo for one calm look. Pro. And I will follow, more for Silvia's love,

O! 'tis the curse in love, and still approv'd, Than hate of Eglamour that goes with her.
