It is hard to imagine a world without Shakespeare. Since their composition four hundred years ago, Shakespeare’s plays and poems have traveled the globe, inviting those who see and read his works to make them their own.

Readers of the New Folger Editions are part of this ongoing process of “taking up Shakespeare,” finding our own thoughts and feelings in language that strikes us as old or unusual and, for that very reason, new. We still struggle to keep up with a writer who could think a mile a minute, whose words paint pictures that shift like clouds. These expertly edited texts are presented to the public as a resource for study, artistic adaptation, and enjoyment. By making the classic texts of the New Folger Editions available in electronic form as The Folger Shakespeare (formerly Folger Digital Texts), we place a trusted resource in the hands of anyone who wants them.

The New Folger Editions of Shakespeare’s plays, which are the basis for the texts realized here in digital form, are special because of their origin. The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is the single greatest documentary source of Shakespeare’s works. An unparalleled collection of early modern books, manuscripts, and artwork connected to Shakespeare, the Folger’s holdings have been consulted extensively in the preparation of these texts. The Editions also reflect the expertise gained through the regular performance of Shakespeare’s works in the Folger’s Elizabethan Theatre.

I want to express my deep thanks to editors Barbara Mowat and Paul Werstine for creating these indispensable editions of Shakespeare’s works, which incorporate the best of textual scholarship with a richness of commentary that is both inspired and engaging. Readers who want to know more about Shakespeare and his plays can follow the paths these distinguished scholars have tread by visiting the Folger either in-person or online, where a range of physical and digital resources exists to supplement the material in these texts. I commend to you these words, and hope that they inspire.

Michael Witmore

Director, Folger Shakespeare Library

Until now, with the release of The Folger Shakespeare (formerly Folger Digital Texts), readers in search of a free online text of Shakespeare’s plays had to be content primarily with using the Moby™ Text, which reproduces a late-nineteenth century version of the plays. What is the difference? Many ordinary readers assume that there is a single text for the plays: what Shakespeare wrote. But Shakespeare’s plays were not published the way modern novels or plays are published today: as a single, authoritative text. In some cases, the plays have come down to us in multiple published versions, represented by various Quartos (Qq) and by the great collection put together by his colleagues in 1623, called the First Folio (F). There are, for example, three very different versions of Hamlet, two of King Lear, Henry V, Romeo and Juliet, and others. Editors choose which version to use as their base text, and then amend that text with words, lines or speech prefixes from the other versions that, in their judgment, make for a better or more accurate text.

Other editorial decisions involve choices about whether an unfamiliar word could be understood in light of other writings of the period or whether it should be changed; decisions about words that made it into Shakespeare’s text by accident through four hundred years of printings and misprinting; and even decisions based on cultural preference and taste. When the Moby™ Text was created, for example, it was deemed “improper” and “indecent” for Miranda to chastise Caliban for having attempted to rape her. (See The Tempest, 1.2: “Abhorred slave,/Which any print of goodness wilt not take,/Being capable of all ill! I pitied thee…”). All Shakespeare editors at the time took the speech away from her and gave it to her father, Prospero.

The editors of the Moby™ Shakespeare produced their text long before scholars fully understood the proper grounds on which to make the thousands of decisions that Shakespeare editors face. The Folger Library Shakespeare Editions, on which the Folger Shakespeare texts depend, make this editorial process as nearly transparent as is possible, in contrast to older texts, like the Moby™, which hide editorial interventions. The reader of the Folger Shakespeare knows where the text has been altered because editorial interventions are signaled by square brackets (for example, from Othello: “square bracketIf she in chains of magic were not bound,square bracket”), half-square brackets (for example, from Henry V: “With half-square bracketbloodhalf-square bracket and sword and fire to win your right,”), or angle brackets (for example, from Hamlet: “O farewell, honest angle bracketsoldier.angle bracket Who hath relieved/you?”). At any point in the text, you can hover your cursor over a bracket for more information.

Because the Folger Shakespeare texts are edited in accord with twenty-first century knowledge about Shakespeare’s texts, the Folger here provides them to readers, scholars, teachers, actors, directors, and students, free of charge, confident of their quality as texts of the plays and pleased to be able to make this contribution to the study and enjoyment of Shakespeare.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona tells the story of two devoted friends, Valentine and Proteus. Valentine leaves their home city of Verona for Milan, but Proteus, in love with Julia, stays behind. Then Proteus’s father sends him to Milan, too. Before leaving, Proteus pledges his love to Julia.

In Milan, Valentine and the duke’s daughter, Sylvia, are in love. Proteus, on arriving, falls in love with Sylvia at first sight. He reveals to the duke that Sylvia and Valentine plan to elope, and Valentine is banished. Meanwhile, Proteus’s earlier love, Julia, assumes a male disguise and travels to Milan.

The banished Valentine meets outlaws and becomes their leader. Sylvia, in search of Valentine, is seized by his outlaws. Proteus rescues her and then, when she spurns him, tries to rape her. Valentine stops the rape, but out of friendship offers to yield Sylvia to Proteus. Julia, however, reveals her identity, regaining Proteus’s love. Two weddings are planned: Valentine with Sylvia, and Proteus with Julia.

ACT 1

Scene 1

Enter Valentine and Proteus .


VALENTINE
Cease to persuade , my loving Proteus .
Home-keeping youth have ever homely wits .
Were ’t not affection chains thy tender days
To the sweet glances of thy honored love ,
I rather would entreat thy company
To see the wonders of the world abroad
Than , living dully sluggardized at home ,
Wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness .
But since thou lov’st , love still and thrive therein ,
Even as I would when I to love begin .

PROTEUS
Wilt thou be gone ? Sweet Valentine , adieu .
Think on thy Proteus when thou haply seest
Some rare noteworthy object in thy travel .
Wish me partaker in thy happiness
When thou dost meet good hap ; and in thy danger ,
If ever danger do environ thee ,
Commend thy grievance to my holy prayers ,
For I will be thy beadsman , Valentine .

VALENTINE
And on a love-book pray for my success ?

PROTEUS
Upon some book I love I’ll pray for thee .

[9]ACT 1. SC. 1
VALENTINE
That’s on some shallow story of deep love ,
How young Leander crossed the Hellespont .

PROTEUS
That’s a deep story of a deeper love ,
For he was more than over shoes in love .

VALENTINE
’Tis true , for you are over boots in love ,
And yet you never swam the Hellespont .

PROTEUS
Over the boots ? Nay , give me not the boots .

VALENTINE
No , I will not , for it boots thee not .

PROTEUS
What ?

VALENTINE
To be in love , where scorn is bought with groans ,
Coy looks with heart-sore sighs , one fading
moment’s mirth
With twenty watchful , weary , tedious nights ;
If haply won , perhaps a hapless gain ;
If lost , why then a grievous labor won ;
How ever , but a folly bought with wit ,
Or else a wit by folly vanquishèd .

PROTEUS
So , by your circumstance , you call me fool .

VALENTINE
So , by your circumstance , I fear you’ll prove .

PROTEUS
’Tis love you cavil at ; I am not Love .

VALENTINE
Love is your master , for he masters you ;
And he that is so yokèd by a fool
Methinks should not be chronicled for wise .

PROTEUS
Yet writers say : as in the sweetest bud
[11] ACT 1. SC. 1 The eating canker dwells , so eating love
Inhabits in the finest wits of all .

VALENTINE
And writers say : as the most forward bud
Is eaten by the canker ere it blow ,
Even so by love the young and tender wit
Is turned to folly , blasting in the bud ,
Losing his verdure , even in the prime ,
And all the fair effects of future hopes .
But wherefore waste I time to counsel thee
That art a votary to fond desire ?
Once more adieu . My father at the road
Expects my coming , there to see me shipped .

PROTEUS
And thither will I bring thee , Valentine .

VALENTINE
Sweet Proteus , no . Now let us take our leave .
To Milan let me hear from thee by letters
Of thy success in love , and what news else
Betideth here in absence of thy friend .
And I likewise will visit thee with mine .

PROTEUS
All happiness bechance to thee in Milan .

VALENTINE
As much to you at home . And so farewell .
He exits .

PROTEUS
He after honor hunts , I after love .
He leaves his friends , to dignify them more ;
I leave myself , my friends , and all , for love .
Thou , Julia , thou hast metamorphosed me ,
Made me neglect my studies , lose my time ,
War with good counsel , set the world at nought ;
Made wit with musing weak , heart sick with thought .


Enter Speed .


[13]ACT 1. SC. 1
SPEED
Sir Proteus , ’save you . Saw you my master ?

PROTEUS
But now he parted hence to embark for Milan .

SPEED
Twenty to one , then , he is shipped already ,
And I have played the sheep in losing him .

PROTEUS
Indeed a sheep doth very often stray ,
An if the shepherd be awhile away .

SPEED
You conclude that my master is a shepherd ,
then , and I a sheep ?

PROTEUS
I do .

SPEED
Why , then my horns are his horns , whether I
wake or sleep .

PROTEUS
A silly answer , and fitting well a sheep .

SPEED
This proves me still a sheep .

PROTEUS
True , and thy master a shepherd .

SPEED
Nay , that I can deny by a circumstance .

PROTEUS
It shall go hard but I’ll prove it by another .

SPEED
The shepherd seeks the sheep , and not the
sheep the shepherd ; but I seek my master , and my
master seeks not me . Therefore I am no sheep .

PROTEUS
The sheep for fodder follow the shepherd ; the
shepherd for food follows not the sheep . Thou for
wages followest thy master ; thy master for wages
follows not thee . Therefore thou art a sheep .

SPEED
Such another proof will make me cry ‘baa .’

PROTEUS
But dost thou hear ? Gav’st thou my letter to
Julia ?

SPEED
Ay , sir . I , a lost mutton , gave your letter to her , a
laced mutton , and she , a laced mutton , gave me , a
lost mutton , nothing for my labor .

PROTEUS
Here’s too small a pasture for such store of
muttons .

[15]ACT 1. SC. 1
SPEED
If the ground be overcharged , you were best
stick her .

PROTEUS
Nay , in that you are astray ; ’twere best pound
you .

SPEED
Nay , sir , less than a pound shall serve me for
carrying your letter .

PROTEUS
You mistake ; I mean the pound , a pinfold .

SPEED
From a pound to a pin ? Fold it over and over ,
’Tis threefold too little for carrying a letter to your
lover .

PROTEUS
But what said she ?

SPEED
, nodding
Ay .

PROTEUS
Nod — ‘Ay .’ Why , that’s ‘noddy .’

SPEED
You mistook , sir . I say she did nod , and you ask
me if she did nod , and I say ‘ay .’

PROTEUS
And that set together is ‘noddy .’

SPEED
Now you have taken the pains to set it together ,
take it for your pains .

PROTEUS
No , no , you shall have it for bearing the letter .

SPEED
Well , I perceive I must be fain to bear with you .

PROTEUS
Why , sir , how do you bear with me ?

SPEED
Marry , sir , the letter , very orderly , having nothing
but the word ‘noddy’ for my pains .

PROTEUS
Beshrew me , but you have a quick wit .

SPEED
And yet it cannot overtake your slow purse .

PROTEUS
Come , come , open the matter in brief . What
said she ?

SPEED
Open your purse , that the money and the matter
may be both at once delivered .

PROTEUS
, giving money
Well , sir , here is for your
pains . What said she ?

SPEED
, looking at the money
Truly , sir , I think you’ll
hardly win her .

PROTEUS
Why ? Couldst thou perceive so much from
her ?

[17]ACT 1. SC. 2
SPEED
Sir , I could perceive nothing at all from her , no ,
not so much as a ducat for delivering your letter .
And being so hard to me that brought your mind , I
fear she’ll prove as hard to you in telling your mind .
Give her no token but stones , for she’s as hard as
steel .

PROTEUS
What said she ? Nothing ?

SPEED
No , not so much as ‘Take this for thy pains .’
To testify your bounty , I thank you , you have
testerned me . In requital whereof , henceforth
carry your letters yourself . And so , sir , I’ll commend
you to my master .

PROTEUS
Go , go , begone , to save your ship from wrack ,
Which cannot perish having thee aboard ,
Being destined to a drier death on shore .
Speed exits .

I must go send some better messenger .
I fear my Julia would not deign my lines ,
Receiving them from such a worthless post .

He exits .

Scene 2

Enter Julia and Lucetta .


JULIA
But say , Lucetta , now we are alone ,
Wouldst thou then counsel me to fall in love ?

LUCETTA
Ay , madam , so you stumble not unheedfully .

JULIA
Of all the fair resort of gentlemen
That every day with parle encounter me ,
In thy opinion which is worthiest love ?

[19]ACT 1. SC. 2
LUCETTA
Please you repeat their names , I’ll show my mind
According to my shallow simple skill .

JULIA
What think’st thou of the fair Sir Eglamour ?

LUCETTA
As of a knight well-spoken , neat , and fine ;
But , were I you , he never should be mine .

JULIA
What think’st thou of the rich Mercatio ?

LUCETTA
Well of his wealth , but of himself so-so .

JULIA
What think’st thou of the gentle Proteus ?

LUCETTA
Lord , Lord , to see what folly reigns in us !

JULIA
How now ? What means this passion at his name ?

LUCETTA
Pardon , dear madam , ’tis a passing shame
That I , unworthy body as I am ,
Should censure thus on lovely gentlemen .

JULIA
Why not on Proteus , as of all the rest ?

LUCETTA
Then thus : of many good , I think him best .

JULIA
Your reason ?

LUCETTA
I have no other but a woman’s reason :
I think him so because I think him so .

JULIA
And wouldst thou have me cast my love on him ?

LUCETTA
Ay , if you thought your love not cast away .

JULIA
Why , he of all the rest hath never moved me .

[21]ACT 1. SC. 2
LUCETTA
Yet he of all the rest I think best loves you .

JULIA
His little speaking shows his love but small .

LUCETTA
Fire that’s closest kept burns most of all .

JULIA
They do not love that do not show their love .

LUCETTA
O , they love least that let men know their love .

JULIA
I would I knew his mind .

LUCETTA
, handing her a paper
Peruse this paper ,
madam .

JULIA
reads
‘To Julia .’ — Say from whom .

LUCETTA
That the contents will show .

JULIA
Say , say who gave it thee .

LUCETTA
Sir Valentine’s page ; and sent , I think , from
Proteus .
He would have given it you , but I , being in the way ,
Did in your name receive it . Pardon the fault , I pray .

JULIA
Now , by my modesty , a goodly broker !
Dare you presume to harbor wanton lines ?
To whisper and conspire against my youth ?
Now trust me , ’tis an office of great worth ,
And you an officer fit for the place .
There , take the paper ; see it be returned ,
Or else return no more into my sight .

LUCETTA
, taking the paper
To plead for love deserves more fee than hate .

JULIA
Will you be gone ?

LUCETTA
That you may ruminate .
She exits .

JULIA
And yet I would I had o’erlooked the letter .
[23] ACT 1. SC. 2 It were a shame to call her back again
And pray her to a fault for which I chid her .
What fool is she that knows I am a maid
And would not force the letter to my view ,
Since maids in modesty say ‘no’ to that
Which they would have the profferer construe ‘ay’ !
Fie , fie , how wayward is this foolish love
That like a testy babe will scratch the nurse
And presently , all humbled , kiss the rod !
How churlishly I chid Lucetta hence ,
When willingly I would have had her here !
How angerly I taught my brow to frown ,
When inward joy enforced my heart to smile !
My penance is to call Lucetta back
And ask remission for my folly past . —
What ho , Lucetta !


Enter Lucetta .


LUCETTA
What would your Ladyship ?

JULIA
Is ’t near dinner time ?

LUCETTA
I would it were ,
That you might kill your stomach on your meat
And not upon your maid .

She drops a paper and then retrieves it .

JULIA
What is ’t that you took up so gingerly ?

LUCETTA
Nothing .

JULIA
Why didst thou stoop , then ?

LUCETTA
To take a paper up that I let fall .

JULIA
And is that paper nothing ?

LUCETTA
Nothing concerning me .

JULIA
Then let it lie for those that it concerns .

[25]ACT 1. SC. 2
LUCETTA
Madam , it will not lie where it concerns
Unless it have a false interpreter .

JULIA
Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme .

LUCETTA
That I might sing it , madam , to a tune ,
Give me a note . Your Ladyship can set —

JULIA
As little by such toys as may be possible .
Best sing it to the tune of Light o’ Love .

LUCETTA
It is too heavy for so light a tune .

JULIA
Heavy ? Belike it hath some burden then ?

LUCETTA
Ay , and melodious were it , would you sing it .

JULIA
And why not you ?

LUCETTA
I cannot reach so high .

JULIA
, taking the paper
Let’s see your song . How now , minion !

LUCETTA
Keep tune there still , so you will sing it out .
And yet methinks I do not like this tune .

JULIA
You do not ?

LUCETTA
No , madam , ’tis too sharp .

JULIA
You , minion , are too saucy .

LUCETTA
Nay , now you are too flat
And mar the concord with too harsh a descant .
There wanteth but a mean to fill your song .

JULIA
The mean is drowned with your unruly bass .

LUCETTA
Indeed , I bid the base for Proteus .

[27]ACT 1. SC. 2
JULIA
This babble shall not henceforth trouble me .
Here is a coil with protestation .
She rips up the paper . Lucetta begins
to pick up the pieces .

Go , get you gone , and let the papers lie .
You would be fing’ring them to anger me .

LUCETTA
She makes it strange , but she would be best pleased
To be so angered with another letter .
She exits .

JULIA
Nay , would I were so angered with the same !
O hateful hands , to tear such loving words !
Injurious wasps , to feed on such sweet honey
And kill the bees that yield it with your stings !
I’ll kiss each several paper for amends .
She picks up some pieces .

Look , here is writ ‘kind Julia .’ Unkind Julia ,
As in revenge of thy ingratitude ,
I throw thy name against the bruising stones ,
Trampling contemptuously on thy disdain .
And here is writ ‘love-wounded Proteus .’
Poor wounded name , my bosom as a bed
Shall lodge thee till thy wound be throughly healed ,
And thus I search it with a sovereign kiss .
But twice or thrice was ‘Proteus’ written down .
Be calm , good wind . Blow not a word away
Till I have found each letter in the letter
Except mine own name . That some whirlwind bear
Unto a ragged , fearful , hanging rock
And throw it thence into the raging sea .
Lo , here in one line is his name twice writ :
‘Poor forlorn Proteus , passionate Proteus ,
To the sweet Julia .’ That I’ll tear away —
And yet I will not , sith so prettily
He couples it to his complaining names .
[29] ACT 1. SC. 3 Thus will I fold them one upon another .
Now kiss , embrace , contend , do what you will .


Enter Lucetta .


LUCETTA
Madam , dinner is ready , and your father stays .

JULIA
Well , let us go .

LUCETTA
What , shall these papers lie like telltales here ?

JULIA
If you respect them , best to take them up .

LUCETTA
Nay , I was taken up for laying them down .
Yet here they shall not lie , for catching cold .

She picks up the rest of the pieces .

JULIA
I see you have a month’s mind to them .

LUCETTA
Ay , madam , you may say what sights you see ;
I see things too , although you judge I wink .

JULIA
Come , come , will ’t please you go ?

They exit .

Scene 3

Enter Antonio and Pantino .


ANTONIO
Tell me , Pantino , what sad talk was that
Wherewith my brother held you in the cloister ?

PANTINO
’Twas of his nephew Proteus , your son .

ANTONIO
Why , what of him ?

PANTINO
He wondered that your Lordship
Would suffer him to spend his youth at home
[31] ACT 1. SC. 3 While other men , of slender reputation ,
Put forth their sons to seek preferment out :
Some to the wars to try their fortune there ,
Some to discover islands far away ,
Some to the studious universities .
For any or for all these exercises
He said that Proteus your son was meet ,
And did request me to importune you
To let him spend his time no more at home ,
Which would be great impeachment to his age
In having known no travel in his youth .

ANTONIO
Nor need’st thou much importune me to that
Whereon this month I have been hammering .
I have considered well his loss of time
And how he cannot be a perfect man ,
Not being tried and tutored in the world .
Experience is by industry achieved
And perfected by the swift course of time .
Then tell me whither were I best to send him .

PANTINO
I think your Lordship is not ignorant
How his companion , youthful Valentine ,
Attends the Emperor in his royal court .

ANTONIO
I know it well .

PANTINO
’Twere good , I think , your Lordship sent him thither .
There shall he practice tilts and tournaments ,
Hear sweet discourse , converse with noblemen ,
And be in eye of every exercise
Worthy his youth and nobleness of birth .

ANTONIO
I like thy counsel . Well hast thou advised ,
And that thou mayst perceive how well I like it ,
The execution of it shall make known .
[33] ACT 1. SC. 3 Even with the speediest expedition
I will dispatch him to the Emperor’s court .

PANTINO
Tomorrow , may it please you , Don Alphonso ,
With other gentlemen of good esteem ,
Are journeying to salute the Emperor
And to commend their service to his will .

ANTONIO
Good company . With them shall Proteus go .

Enter Proteus reading .


And in good time ! Now will we break with him .

PROTEUS
, to himself
Sweet love , sweet lines , sweet life !
Here is her hand , the agent of her heart ;
Here is her oath for love , her honor’s pawn .
O , that our fathers would applaud our loves
To seal our happiness with their consents .
O heavenly Julia !

ANTONIO
How now ? What letter are you reading there ?

PROTEUS
May ’t please your Lordship , ’tis a word or two
Of commendations sent from Valentine ,
Delivered by a friend that came from him .

ANTONIO
Lend me the letter . Let me see what news .

PROTEUS
There is no news , my lord , but that he writes
How happily he lives , how well beloved
And daily gracèd by the Emperor ,
Wishing me with him , partner of his fortune .

ANTONIO
And how stand you affected to his wish ?

[35]ACT 1. SC. 3
PROTEUS
As one relying on your Lordship’s will ,
And not depending on his friendly wish .

ANTONIO
My will is something sorted with his wish .
Muse not that I thus suddenly proceed ,
For what I will , I will , and there an end .
I am resolved that thou shalt spend some time
With Valentinus in the Emperor’s court .
What maintenance he from his friends receives ,
Like exhibition thou shalt have from me .
Tomorrow be in readiness to go .
Excuse it not , for I am peremptory .

PROTEUS
My lord , I cannot be so soon provided .
Please you deliberate a day or two .

ANTONIO
Look what thou want’st shall be sent after thee .
No more of stay . Tomorrow thou must go . —
Come on , Pantino ; you shall be employed
To hasten on his expedition .

Antonio and Pantino exit .

PROTEUS
Thus have I shunned the fire for fear of burning
And drenched me in the sea , where I am drowned .
I feared to show my father Julia’s letter
Lest he should take exceptions to my love ,
And with the vantage of mine own excuse
Hath he excepted most against my love .
O , how this spring of love resembleth
The uncertain glory of an April day ,
Which now shows all the beauty of the sun ,
And by and by a cloud takes all away .


Enter Pantino .


[37]ACT 1. SC. 3
PANTINO
Sir Proteus , your father calls for you .
He is in haste . Therefore , I pray you , go .

PROTEUS
Why , this it is : my heart accords thereto .
Aside .
And yet a thousand times it answers ‘no .’

They exit .

[41]

ACT 2

Scene 1

Enter Valentine and Speed , carrying a glove .


SPEED
Sir , your glove .

VALENTINE
Not mine . My gloves are on .

SPEED
Why , then , this may be yours , for this is but one .

VALENTINE
Ha ? Let me see . Ay , give it me , it’s mine .
Sweet ornament that decks a thing divine !
Ah , Sylvia , Sylvia !

SPEED
, calling
Madam Sylvia ! Madam Sylvia !

VALENTINE
How now , sirrah ?

SPEED
She is not within hearing , sir .

VALENTINE
Why , sir , who bade you call her ?

SPEED
Your Worship , sir , or else I mistook .

VALENTINE
Well , you’ll still be too forward .

SPEED
And yet I was last chidden for being too slow .

VALENTINE
Go to , sir . Tell me , do you know Madam
Sylvia ?

SPEED
She that your Worship loves ?

VALENTINE
Why , how know you that I am in love ?

SPEED
Marry , by these special marks : first , you have
learned , like Sir Proteus , to wreathe your arms like
a malcontent ; to relish a love song like a robin
redbreast ; to walk alone like one that had the
[43] ACT 2. SC. 1 pestilence ; to sigh like a schoolboy that had lost his
ABC ; to weep like a young wench that had buried
her grandam ; to fast like one that takes diet ; to
watch like one that fears robbing ; to speak puling
like a beggar at Hallowmas . You were wont , when
you laughed , to crow like a cock ; when you walked ,
to walk like one of the lions . When you fasted , it was
presently after dinner ; when you looked sadly , it
was for want of money . And now you are metamorphosed
with a mistress , that when I look on you , I
can hardly think you my master .

VALENTINE
Are all these things perceived in me ?

SPEED
They are all perceived without you .

VALENTINE
Without me ? They cannot .

SPEED
Without you ? Nay , that’s certain , for without
you were so simple , none else would . But you are so
without these follies , that these follies are within
you and shine through you like the water in an
urinal , that not an eye that sees you but is a
physician to comment on your malady .

VALENTINE
But tell me , dost thou know my Lady
Sylvia ?

SPEED
She that you gaze on so as she sits at supper ?

VALENTINE
Hast thou observed that ? Even she I mean .

SPEED
Why , sir , I know her not .

VALENTINE
Dost thou know her by my gazing on her
and yet know’st her not ?

SPEED
Is she not hard-favored , sir ?

VALENTINE
Not so fair , boy , as well-favored .

SPEED
Sir , I know that well enough .

VALENTINE
What dost thou know ?

SPEED
That she is not so fair as , of you , well-favored .

VALENTINE
I mean that her beauty is exquisite but her
favor infinite .

[45]ACT 2. SC. 1
SPEED
That’s because the one is painted , and the other
out of all count .

VALENTINE
How painted ? And how out of count ?

SPEED
Marry , sir , so painted to make her fair , that no
man counts of her beauty .

VALENTINE
How esteem’st thou me ? I account of her
beauty .

SPEED
You never saw her since she was deformed .

VALENTINE
How long hath she been deformed ?

SPEED
Ever since you loved her .

VALENTINE
I have loved her ever since I saw her , and
still I see her beautiful .

SPEED
If you love her , you cannot see her .

VALENTINE
Why ?

SPEED
Because love is blind . O , that you had mine eyes ,
or your own eyes had the lights they were wont to
have when you chid at Sir Proteus for going
ungartered !

VALENTINE
What should I see then ?

SPEED
Your own present folly and her passing deformity ;
for he , being in love , could not see to garter his
hose , and you , being in love , cannot see to put on
your hose .

VALENTINE
Belike , boy , then you are in love , for last
morning you could not see to wipe my shoes .

SPEED
True , sir , I was in love with my bed . I thank you ,
you swinged me for my love , which makes me the
bolder to chide you for yours .

VALENTINE
In conclusion , I stand affected to her .

SPEED
I would you were set , so your affection would
cease .

VALENTINE
Last night she enjoined me to write some
lines to one she loves .

SPEED
And have you ?

VALENTINE
I have .

[47]ACT 2. SC. 1
SPEED
Are they not lamely writ ?

VALENTINE
No , boy , but as well as I can do them .
Peace , here she comes .


Enter Sylvia .


SPEED
, aside
O excellent motion ! O exceeding puppet !
Now will he interpret to her .

VALENTINE
Madam and mistress , a thousand
good-morrows .

SPEED
, aside
O , give ye good ev’n ! Here’s a million of
manners .

SYLVIA
Sir Valentine , and servant , to you two
thousand .

SPEED
, aside
He should give her interest , and she
gives it him .

VALENTINE
As you enjoined me , I have writ your letter
Unto the secret , nameless friend of yours ,
Which I was much unwilling to proceed in
But for my duty to your Ladyship .

He gives her a paper .

SYLVIA
I thank you , gentle servant , ’tis very clerkly done .

VALENTINE
Now trust me , madam , it came hardly off ,
For , being ignorant to whom it goes ,
I writ at random , very doubtfully .

SYLVIA
Perchance you think too much of so much pains ?

VALENTINE
No , madam . So it stead you , I will write ,
Please you command , a thousand times as much ,
And yet —

SYLVIA
A pretty period . Well , I guess the sequel ;
And yet I will not name it And yet I care not .
[49] ACT 2. SC. 1 And yet take this again .
She holds out the paper .

And yet I thank you ,
Meaning henceforth to trouble you no more .

SPEED
, aside
And yet you will ; and yet another ‘yet .’

VALENTINE
What means your Ladyship ? Do you not like it ?

SYLVIA
Yes , yes , the lines are very quaintly writ ,
But , since unwillingly , take them again .
Nay , take them .
She again offers him the paper .

VALENTINE
Madam , they are for you .

SYLVIA
Ay , ay . You writ them , sir , at my request ,
But I will none of them . They are for you .
I would have had them writ more movingly .

VALENTINE
, taking the paper
Please you , I’ll write your Ladyship another .

SYLVIA
And when it’s writ , for my sake read it over ,
And if it please you , so ; if not , why , so .

VALENTINE
If it please me , madam ? What then ?

SYLVIA
Why , if it please you , take it for your labor .
And so good-morrow , servant .
Sylvia exits .

SPEED
, aside
O jest unseen , inscrutable , invisible
As a nose on a man’s face , or a weathercock on a
steeple !
My master sues to her , and she hath taught her
suitor ,
He being her pupil , to become her tutor .
O excellent device ! Was there ever heard a better ?
That my master , being scribe , to himself should
write the letter ?

[51]ACT 2. SC. 1
VALENTINE
How now , sir ? What , are you reasoning
with yourself ?

SPEED
Nay , I was rhyming . ’Tis you that have the
reason .

VALENTINE
To do what ?

SPEED
To be a spokesman from Madam Sylvia .

VALENTINE
To whom ?

SPEED
To yourself . Why , she woos you by a figure .

VALENTINE
What figure ?

SPEED
By a letter , I should say .

VALENTINE
Why , she hath not writ to me !

SPEED
What need she when she hath made you write
to yourself ? Why , do you not perceive the jest ?

VALENTINE
No , believe me .

SPEED
No believing you indeed , sir . But did you perceive
her earnest ?

VALENTINE
She gave me none , except an angry word .

SPEED
Why , she hath given you a letter .

VALENTINE
That’s the letter I writ to her friend .

SPEED
And that letter hath she delivered , and there an
end .

VALENTINE
I would it were no worse .

SPEED
I’ll warrant you , ’tis as well .
For often have you writ to her , and she , in modesty
Or else for want of idle time , could not again reply ,
Or fearing else some messenger that might her
mind discover ,
Herself hath taught her love himself to write unto
her lover .
All this I speak in print , for in print I found it . Why
muse you , sir ? ’Tis dinnertime .

VALENTINE
I have dined .

SPEED
Ay , but hearken , sir , though the chameleon love
can feed on the air , I am one that am nourished by
[53] ACT 2. SC. 2 my victuals and would fain have meat . O , be not like
your mistress ! Be moved , be moved .

They exit .

Scene 2

Enter Proteus and Julia .


PROTEUS
Have patience , gentle Julia .

JULIA
I must where is no remedy .

PROTEUS
When possibly I can , I will return .

JULIA
If you turn not , you will return the sooner .
Keep this remembrance for thy Julia’s sake .

She gives him a ring .

PROTEUS
, giving her a ring
Why , then we’ll make exchange . Here , take you this .

JULIA
And seal the bargain with a holy kiss .

PROTEUS
Here is my hand for my true constancy .
And when that hour o’erslips me in the day
Wherein I sigh not , Julia , for thy sake ,
The next ensuing hour some foul mischance
Torment me for my love’s forgetfulness .
My father stays my coming . Answer not .
The tide is now — nay , not thy tide of tears ;
That tide will stay me longer than I should .
Julia , farewell .
Julia exits .

What , gone without a word ?
Ay , so true love should do . It cannot speak ,
For truth hath better deeds than words to grace it .


Enter Pantino .


PANTINO
Sir Proteus , you are stayed for .

[55]ACT 2. SC. 3
PROTEUS
Go . I come , I come .
Aside .
Alas , this parting strikes poor lovers dumb .

They exit .

Scene 3

Enter Lance , weeping , with his dog , Crab .


LANCE
Nay , ’twill be this hour ere I have done weeping .
All the kind of the Lances have this very fault . I have
received my proportion like the Prodigious Son and
am going with Sir Proteus to the Imperial’s court . I
think Crab my dog be the sourest-natured dog that
lives : my mother weeping , my father wailing , my
sister crying , our maid howling , our cat wringing
her hands , and all our house in a great perplexity ,
yet did not this cruel-hearted cur shed one tear . He
is a stone , a very pibble stone , and has no more pity
in him than a dog . A Jew would have wept to have
seen our parting . Why , my grandam , having no
eyes , look you , wept herself blind at my parting .
Nay , I’ll show you the manner of it . He takes off his
shoes . This shoe is my father . No , this left shoe is
my father ; no , no , this left shoe is my mother . Nay ,
that cannot be so neither . Yes , it is so , it is so ; it hath
the worser sole . This shoe with the hole in it is my
mother ; and this my father . A vengeance on ’t , there
’tis ! Now sir , this staff is my sister , for , look you , she
is as white as a lily and as small as a wand . This hat
is Nan , our maid . I am the dog . No , the dog is
himself , and I am the dog . O , the dog is me , and I
am myself . Ay , so , so . Now come I to my father :
‘Father , your blessing .’ Now should not the shoe
speak a word for weeping . Now should I kiss my
father . He kisses one shoe . Well , he weeps on . Now
[57] ACT 2. SC. 3 come I to my mother . O , that she could speak now
like a wold woman ! Well , I kiss her . He kisses the
other shoe . Why , there ’tis ; here’s my mother’s
breath up and down . Now come I to my sister . Mark
the moan she makes ! Now the dog all this while
sheds not a tear nor speaks a word . But see how I
lay the dust with my tears .


Enter Pantino .


PANTINO
Lance , away , away ! Aboard . Thy master is
shipped , and thou art to post after with oars . What’s
the matter ? Why weep’st thou , man ? Away , ass .
You’ll lose the tide if you tarry any longer .

LANCE
It is no matter if the tied were lost , for it is the
unkindest tied that ever any man tied .

PANTINO
What’s the unkindest tide ?

LANCE
Why , he that’s tied here , Crab my dog .

PANTINO
Tut , man . I mean thou ’lt lose the flood and , in
losing the flood , lose thy voyage and , in losing thy
voyage , lose thy master and , in losing thy master ,
lose thy service and , in losing thy service — Lance
covers Pantino’s mouth . Why dost thou stop my
mouth ?

LANCE
For fear thou shouldst lose thy tongue .

PANTINO
Where should I lose my tongue ?

LANCE
In thy tale .

PANTINO
In thy tail !

LANCE
Lose the tide , and the voyage , and the master ,
and the service , and the tied . Why , man , if the river
were dry , I am able to fill it with my tears ; if the
wind were down , I could drive the boat with my
sighs .

PANTINO
Come . Come away , man . I was sent to call
thee .

LANCE
Sir , call me what thou dar’st .

[59]ACT 2. SC. 4
PANTINO
Wilt thou go ?

LANCE
Well , I will go .

They exit .

Scene 4

Enter Valentine , Sylvia , Thurio , and Speed .


SYLVIA
Servant !

VALENTINE
Mistress ?

SPEED
Master , Sir Thurio frowns on you .

VALENTINE
Ay , boy , it’s for love .

SPEED
Not of you .

VALENTINE
Of my mistress , then .

SPEED
’Twere good you knocked him .

SYLVIA
, to Valentine
Servant , you are sad .

VALENTINE
Indeed , madam , I seem so .

THURIO
Seem you that you are not ?

VALENTINE
Haply I do .

THURIO
So do counterfeits .

VALENTINE
So do you .

THURIO
What seem I that I am not ?

VALENTINE
Wise .

THURIO
What instance of the contrary ?

VALENTINE
Your folly .

THURIO
And how quote you my folly ?

VALENTINE
I quote it in your jerkin .

THURIO
My ‘jerkin’ is a doublet .

VALENTINE
Well , then , I’ll double your folly .

THURIO
How !

SYLVIA
What , angry , Sir Thurio ? Do you change color ?

VALENTINE
Give him leave , madam . He is a kind of
chameleon .

THURIO
That hath more mind to feed on your blood
than live in your air .

[61]ACT 2. SC. 4
VALENTINE
You have said , sir .

THURIO
Ay , sir , and done too for this time .

VALENTINE
I know it well , sir . You always end ere you
begin .

SYLVIA
A fine volley of words , gentlemen , and quickly
shot off .

VALENTINE
’Tis indeed , madam . We thank the giver .

SYLVIA
Who is that , servant ?

VALENTINE
Yourself , sweet lady , for you gave the fire .
Sir Thurio borrows his wit from your Ladyship’s
looks and spends what he borrows kindly in your
company .

THURIO
Sir , if you spend word for word with me , I shall
make your wit bankrupt .

VALENTINE
I know it well , sir . You have an exchequer
of words and , I think , no other treasure to give your
followers , for it appears by their bare liveries that
they live by your bare words .

SYLVIA
No more , gentlemen , no more . Here comes my
father .


Enter Duke .


DUKE
Now , daughter Sylvia , you are hard beset . —
Sir Valentine , your father is in good health .
What say you to a letter from your friends
Of much good news ?

VALENTINE
My lord , I will be thankful
To any happy messenger from thence .

DUKE
Know you Don Antonio , your countryman ?

VALENTINE
Ay , my good lord , I know the gentleman
To be of worth and worthy estimation ,
And not without desert so well reputed .

[63]ACT 2. SC. 4
DUKE
Hath he not a son ?

VALENTINE
Ay , my good lord , a son that well deserves
The honor and regard of such a father .

DUKE
You know him well ?

VALENTINE
I knew him as myself , for from our infancy
We have conversed and spent our hours together ,
And though myself have been an idle truant ,
Omitting the sweet benefit of time
To clothe mine age with angel-like perfection ,
Yet hath Sir Proteus — for that’s his name —
Made use and fair advantage of his days :
His years but young , but his experience old ;
His head unmellowed , but his judgment ripe ;
And in a word — for far behind his worth
Comes all the praises that I now bestow —
He is complete in feature and in mind ,
With all good grace to grace a gentleman .

DUKE
Beshrew me , sir , but if he make this good ,
He is as worthy for an empress’ love ,
As meet to be an emperor’s counselor .
Well , sir , this gentleman is come to me
With commendation from great potentates ,
And here he means to spend his time awhile .
I think ’tis no unwelcome news to you .

VALENTINE
Should I have wished a thing , it had been he .

DUKE
Welcome him then according to his worth .
Sylvia , I speak to you — and you , Sir Thurio .
For Valentine , I need not cite him to it .
I will send him hither to you presently .
Duke exits .

VALENTINE
This is the gentleman I told your Ladyship
[65] ACT 2. SC. 4 Had come along with me but that his mistress
Did hold his eyes locked in her crystal looks .

SYLVIA
Belike that now she hath enfranchised them
Upon some other pawn for fealty .

VALENTINE
Nay , sure , I think she holds them prisoners still .

SYLVIA
Nay , then , he should be blind , and being blind
How could he see his way to seek out you ?

VALENTINE
Why , lady , love hath twenty pair of eyes .

THURIO
They say that Love hath not an eye at all .

VALENTINE
To see such lovers , Thurio , as yourself .
Upon a homely object , Love can wink .

SYLVIA
Have done , have done . Here comes the gentleman .


Enter Proteus .


VALENTINE
Welcome , dear Proteus . — Mistress , I beseech you
Confirm his welcome with some special favor .

SYLVIA
His worth is warrant for his welcome hither ,
If this be he you oft have wished to hear from .

VALENTINE
Mistress , it is . Sweet lady , entertain him
To be my fellow-servant to your Ladyship .

SYLVIA
Too low a mistress for so high a servant .

PROTEUS
Not so , sweet lady , but too mean a servant
To have a look of such a worthy mistress .

[67]ACT 2. SC. 4
VALENTINE
Leave off discourse of disability .
Sweet lady , entertain him for your servant .

PROTEUS
My duty will I boast of , nothing else .

SYLVIA
And duty never yet did want his meed .
Servant , you are welcome to a worthless mistress .

PROTEUS
I’ll die on him that says so but yourself .

SYLVIA
That you are welcome ?

PROTEUS
That you are worthless .


Enter Servant .


SERVANT
Madam , my lord your father would speak with you .

SYLVIA
I wait upon his pleasure . Servant exits . Come , Sir
Thurio ,
Go with me . — Once more , new servant , welcome .
I’ll leave you to confer of home affairs .
When you have done , we look to hear from you .

PROTEUS
We’ll both attend upon your Ladyship .

Sylvia and Thurio exit .

VALENTINE
Now tell me , how do all from whence you came ?

PROTEUS
Your friends are well and have them much
commended .

VALENTINE
And how do yours ?

PROTEUS
I left them all in health .

VALENTINE
How does your lady ? And how thrives your love ?

[69]ACT 2. SC. 4
PROTEUS
My tales of love were wont to weary you .
I know you joy not in a love discourse .

VALENTINE
Ay , Proteus , but that life is altered now .
I have done penance for contemning Love ,
Whose high imperious thoughts have punished me
With bitter fasts , with penitential groans ,
With nightly tears , and daily heartsore sighs ,
For in revenge of my contempt of love ,
Love hath chased sleep from my enthrallèd eyes
And made them watchers of mine own heart’s
sorrow .
O gentle Proteus , Love’s a mighty lord
And hath so humbled me as I confess
There is no woe to his correction ,
Nor , to his service , no such joy on Earth .
Now , no discourse except it be of love .
Now can I break my fast , dine , sup , and sleep
Upon the very naked name of Love .

PROTEUS
Enough ; I read your fortune in your eye .
Was this the idol that you worship so ?

VALENTINE
Even she . And is she not a heavenly saint ?

PROTEUS
No , but she is an earthly paragon .

VALENTINE
Call her divine .

PROTEUS
I will not flatter her .

VALENTINE
O , flatter me , for love delights in praises .

PROTEUS
When I was sick , you gave me bitter pills ,
And I must minister the like to you .

[71]ACT 2. SC. 4
VALENTINE
Then speak the truth by her ; if not divine ,
Yet let her be a principality ,
Sovereign to all the creatures on the Earth .

PROTEUS
Except my mistress .

VALENTINE
Sweet , except not any ,
Except thou wilt except against my love .

PROTEUS
Have I not reason to prefer mine own ?

VALENTINE
And I will help thee to prefer her too :
She shall be dignified with this high honor —
To bear my lady’s train , lest the base earth
Should from her vesture chance to steal a kiss
And , of so great a favor growing proud ,
Disdain to root the summer-swelling flower
And make rough winter everlastingly .

PROTEUS
Why , Valentine , what braggartism is this ?

VALENTINE
Pardon me , Proteus , all I can is nothing
To her whose worth makes other worthies
nothing .
She is alone —

PROTEUS
Then let her alone .

VALENTINE
Not for the world ! Why , man , she is mine own ,
And I as rich in having such a jewel
As twenty seas if all their sand were pearl ,
The water nectar , and the rocks pure gold .
Forgive me that I do not dream on thee ,
Because thou seest me dote upon my love .
My foolish rival , that her father likes
Only for his possessions are so huge ,
[73] ACT 2. SC. 4 Is gone with her along , and I must after ,
For love , thou know’st , is full of jealousy .

PROTEUS
But she loves you ?

VALENTINE
Ay , and we are betrothed ; nay more , our marriage
hour ,
With all the cunning manner of our flight
Determined of : how I must climb her window ,
The ladder made of cords , and all the means
Plotted and ’greed on for my happiness .
Good Proteus , go with me to my chamber ,
In these affairs to aid me with thy counsel .

PROTEUS
Go on before . I shall inquire you forth .
I must unto the road to disembark
Some necessaries that I needs must use ,
And then I’ll presently attend you .

VALENTINE
Will you make haste ?

PROTEUS
I will .
Valentine and Speed exit .

Even as one heat another heat expels ,
Or as one nail by strength drives out another ,
So the remembrance of my former love
Is by a newer object quite forgotten .
Is it mine eye , or Valentine’s praise ,
Her true perfection , or my false transgression ,
That makes me reasonless to reason thus ?
She is fair , and so is Julia that I love —
That I did love , for now my love is thawed ,
Which like a waxen image ’gainst a fire
Bears no impression of the thing it was .
Methinks my zeal to Valentine is cold ,
And that I love him not as I was wont .
O , but I love his lady too too much ,
And that’s the reason I love him so little .
How shall I dote on her with more advice
That thus without advice begin to love her ?
[75] ACT 2. SC. 5 ’Tis but her picture I have yet beheld ,
And that hath dazzled my reason’s light ;
But when I look on her perfections ,
There is no reason but I shall be blind .
If I can check my erring love , I will ;
If not , to compass her I’ll use my skill .

He exits .

Scene 5

Enter Speed and Lance , with his dog , Crab .


SPEED
Lance , by mine honesty , welcome to Padua .

LANCE
Forswear not thyself , sweet youth , for I am not
welcome . I reckon this always : that a man is never
undone till he be hanged , nor never welcome to a
place till some certain shot be paid and the Hostess
say welcome .

SPEED
Come on , you madcap . I’ll to the alehouse with
you presently , where , for one shot of five pence ,
thou shalt have five thousand welcomes . But , sirrah ,
how did thy master part with Madam Julia ?

LANCE
Marry , after they closed in earnest , they parted
very fairly in jest .

SPEED
But shall she marry him ?

LANCE
No .

SPEED
How then ? Shall he marry her ?

LANCE
No , neither .

SPEED
What , are they broken ?

LANCE
No , they are both as whole as a fish .

SPEED
Why then , how stands the matter with them ?

LANCE
Marry , thus : when it stands well with him , it
stands well with her .

SPEED
What an ass art thou ! I understand thee not .

LANCE
What a block art thou that thou canst not ! My
staff understands me .

[77]ACT 2. SC. 6
SPEED
What thou sayst ?

LANCE
Ay , and what I do too . Look thee , I’ll but lean ,
and my staff understands me .

SPEED
It stands under thee indeed .

LANCE
Why , ‘stand under’ and ‘understand’ is all
one .

SPEED
But tell me true , will ’t be a match ?

LANCE
Ask my dog . If he say ‘Ay ,’ it will ; if he say
‘No ,’ it will ; if he shake his tail and say nothing , it
will .

SPEED
The conclusion is , then , that it will .

LANCE
Thou shalt never get such a secret from me but
by a parable .

SPEED
’Tis well that I get it so . But , Lance , how sayst
thou that my master is become a notable lover ?

LANCE
I never knew him otherwise .

SPEED
Than how ?

LANCE
A notable lubber , as thou reportest him to be .

SPEED
Why , thou whoreson ass , thou mistak’st me .

LANCE
Why , fool , I meant not thee ; I meant thy master .

SPEED
I tell thee , my master is become a hot lover .

LANCE
Why , I tell thee , I care not though he burn
himself in love . If thou wilt , go with me to the
alehouse ; if not , thou art an Hebrew , a Jew , and not
worth the name of a Christian .

SPEED
Why ?

LANCE
Because thou hast not so much charity in thee
as to go to the ale with a Christian . Wilt thou go ?

SPEED
At thy service .

They exit .

Scene 6

Enter Proteus alone .


PROTEUS
To leave my Julia , shall I be forsworn .
To love fair Sylvia , shall I be forsworn .
[79] ACT 2. SC. 6 To wrong my friend , I shall be much forsworn .
And ev’n that power which gave me first my oath
Provokes me to this threefold perjury .
Love bade me swear , and love bids me forswear .
O sweet-suggesting Love , if thou hast sinned ,
Teach me , thy tempted subject , to excuse it .
At first I did adore a twinkling star ,
But now I worship a celestial sun ;
Unheedful vows may heedfully be broken ,
And he wants wit that wants resolvèd will
To learn his wit t’ exchange the bad for better .
Fie , fie , unreverend tongue , to call her bad
Whose sovereignty so oft thou hast preferred
With twenty thousand soul-confirming oaths .
I cannot leave to love , and yet I do .
But there I leave to love where I should love .
Julia I lose , and Valentine I lose ;
If I keep them , I needs must lose myself ;
If I lose them , thus find I by their loss :
For Valentine , myself ; for Julia , Sylvia .
I to myself am dearer than a friend ,
For love is still most precious in itself ,
And Sylvia — witness heaven that made her fair —
Shows Julia but a swarthy Ethiope .
I will forget that Julia is alive ,
Rememb’ring that my love to her is dead ;
And Valentine I’ll hold an enemy ,
Aiming at Sylvia as a sweeter friend .
I cannot now prove constant to myself
Without some treachery used to Valentine .
This night he meaneth with a corded ladder
To climb celestial Sylvia’s chamber window ,
Myself in counsel his competitor .
Now presently I’ll give her father notice
[81] ACT 2. SC. 7 Of their disguising and pretended flight ,
Who , all enraged , will banish Valentine ,
For Thurio he intends shall wed his daughter .
But Valentine being gone , I’ll quickly cross
By some sly trick blunt Thurio’s dull proceeding .
Love , lend me wings to make my purpose swift ,
As thou hast lent me wit to plot this drift .

He exits .

Scene 7

Enter Julia and Lucetta .


JULIA
Counsel , Lucetta . Gentle girl , assist me ;
And ev’n in kind love I do conjure thee —
Who art the table wherein all my thoughts
Are visibly charactered and engraved —
To lesson me and tell me some good mean
How with my honor I may undertake
A journey to my loving Proteus .

LUCETTA
Alas , the way is wearisome and long .

JULIA
A true-devoted pilgrim is not weary
To measure kingdoms with his feeble steps ;
Much less shall she that hath Love’s wings to fly ,
And when the flight is made to one so dear ,
Of such divine perfection , as Sir Proteus .

LUCETTA
Better forbear till Proteus make return .

JULIA
O , know’st thou not his looks are my soul’s food ?
Pity the dearth that I have pinèd in
By longing for that food so long a time .
[83] ACT 2. SC. 7 Didst thou but know the inly touch of love ,
Thou wouldst as soon go kindle fire with snow
As seek to quench the fire of love with words .

LUCETTA
I do not seek to quench your love’s hot fire ,
But qualify the fire’s extreme rage ,
Lest it should burn above the bounds of reason .

JULIA
The more thou damm’st it up , the more it burns .
The current that with gentle murmur glides ,
Thou know’st , being stopped , impatiently doth rage ,
But when his fair course is not hinderèd ,
He makes sweet music with th’ enameled stones ,
Giving a gentle kiss to every sedge
He overtaketh in his pilgrimage ;
And so by many winding nooks he strays
With willing sport to the wild ocean .
Then let me go and hinder not my course .
I’ll be as patient as a gentle stream
And make a pastime of each weary step
Till the last step have brought me to my love ,
And there I’ll rest as after much turmoil
A blessèd soul doth in Elysium .

LUCETTA
But in what habit will you go along ?

JULIA
Not like a woman , for I would prevent
The loose encounters of lascivious men .
Gentle Lucetta , fit me with such weeds
As may beseem some well-reputed page .

LUCETTA
Why , then , your Ladyship must cut your hair .

JULIA
No , girl , I’ll knit it up in silken strings
With twenty odd-conceited true-love knots .
[85] ACT 2. SC. 7 To be fantastic may become a youth
Of greater time than I shall show to be .

LUCETTA
What fashion , madam , shall I make your breeches ?

JULIA
That fits as well as ‘Tell me , good my lord ,
What compass will you wear your farthingale ?’
Why , ev’n what fashion thou best likes , Lucetta .

LUCETTA
You must needs have them with a codpiece , madam .

JULIA
Out , out , Lucetta . That will be ill-favored .

LUCETTA
A round hose , madam , now’s not worth a pin
Unless you have a codpiece to stick pins on .

JULIA
Lucetta , as thou lov’st me , let me have
What thou think’st meet and is most mannerly .
But tell me , wench , how will the world repute me
For undertaking so unstaid a journey ?
I fear me it will make me scandalized .

LUCETTA
If you think so , then stay at home and go not .

JULIA
Nay , that I will not .

LUCETTA
Then never dream on infamy , but go .
If Proteus like your journey when you come ,
No matter who’s displeased when you are gone .
I fear me he will scarce be pleased withal .

JULIA
That is the least , Lucetta , of my fear .
A thousand oaths , an ocean of his tears ,
And instances of infinite of love
Warrant me welcome to my Proteus .

LUCETTA
All these are servants to deceitful men .

[87]ACT 2. SC. 7
JULIA
Base men that use them to so base effect !
But truer stars did govern Proteus’ birth .
His words are bonds , his oaths are oracles ,
His love sincere , his thoughts immaculate ,
His tears pure messengers sent from his heart ,
His heart as far from fraud as heaven from Earth .

LUCETTA
Pray heav’n he prove so when you come to him .

JULIA
Now , as thou lov’st me , do him not that wrong
To bear a hard opinion of his truth .
Only deserve my love by loving him .
And presently go with me to my chamber
To take a note of what I stand in need of
To furnish me upon my longing journey .
All that is mine I leave at thy dispose ,
My goods , my lands , my reputation .
Only , in lieu thereof , dispatch me hence .
Come , answer not , but to it presently .
I am impatient of my tarriance .

They exit .

ACT 3

Scene 1

Enter Duke , Thurio , and Proteus .


DUKE
Sir Thurio , give us leave , I pray , awhile ;
We have some secrets to confer about .
Thurio exits .

Now tell me , Proteus , what’s your will with me ?

PROTEUS
My gracious lord , that which I would discover
The law of friendship bids me to conceal ,
But when I call to mind your gracious favors
Done to me , undeserving as I am ,
My duty pricks me on to utter that
Which else no worldly good should draw from me .
Know , worthy prince , Sir Valentine my friend
This night intends to steal away your daughter ;
Myself am one made privy to the plot .
I know you have determined to bestow her
On Thurio , whom your gentle daughter hates ,
And should she thus be stol’n away from you ,
It would be much vexation to your age .
Thus , for my duty’s sake , I rather chose
To cross my friend in his intended drift
Than , by concealing it , heap on your head
A pack of sorrows which would press you down ,
Being unprevented , to your timeless grave .

[93]ACT 3. SC. 1
DUKE
Proteus , I thank thee for thine honest care ,
Which to requite command me while I live .
This love of theirs myself have often seen ,
Haply when they have judged me fast asleep ,
And oftentimes have purposed to forbid
Sir Valentine her company and my court .
But fearing lest my jealous aim might err
And so , unworthily , disgrace the man —
A rashness that I ever yet have shunned —
I gave him gentle looks , thereby to find
That which thyself hast now disclosed to me .
And that thou mayst perceive my fear of this ,
Knowing that tender youth is soon suggested ,
I nightly lodge her in an upper tower ,
The key whereof myself have ever kept ,
And thence she cannot be conveyed away .

PROTEUS
Know , noble lord , they have devised a mean
How he her chamber-window will ascend
And with a corded ladder fetch her down ;
For which the youthful lover now is gone ,
And this way comes he with it presently ,
Where , if it please you , you may intercept him .
But , good my lord , do it so cunningly
That my discovery be not aimèd at ;
For love of you , not hate unto my friend ,
Hath made me publisher of this pretense .

DUKE
Upon mine honor , he shall never know
That I had any light from thee of this .

PROTEUS
Adieu , my lord . Sir Valentine is coming .

Proteus exits .

[95]ACT 3. SC. 1
Enter Valentine .


DUKE
Sir Valentine , whither away so fast ?

VALENTINE
Please it your Grace , there is a messenger
That stays to bear my letters to my friends ,
And I am going to deliver them .

DUKE
Be they of much import ?

VALENTINE
The tenor of them doth but signify
My health and happy being at your court .

DUKE
Nay then , no matter . Stay with me awhile ;
I am to break with thee of some affairs
That touch me near , wherein thou must be secret .
’Tis not unknown to thee that I have sought
To match my friend Sir Thurio to my daughter .

VALENTINE
I know it well , my lord , and sure the match
Were rich and honorable . Besides , the gentleman
Is full of virtue , bounty , worth , and qualities
Beseeming such a wife as your fair daughter .
Cannot your Grace win her to fancy him ?

DUKE
No . Trust me , she is peevish , sullen , froward ,
Proud , disobedient , stubborn , lacking duty ,
Neither regarding that she is my child
Nor fearing me as if I were her father ;
And may I say to thee , this pride of hers ,
Upon advice , hath drawn my love from her ,
And where I thought the remnant of mine age
Should have been cherished by her childlike duty ,
I now am full resolved to take a wife
And turn her out to who will take her in .
Then let her beauty be her wedding dower ,
For me and my possessions she esteems not .

[97]ACT 3. SC. 1
VALENTINE
What would your Grace have me to do in this ?

DUKE
There is a lady in Verona here
Whom I affect ; but she is nice , and coy ,
And nought esteems my agèd eloquence .
Now therefore would I have thee to my tutor —
For long agone I have forgot to court ;
Besides , the fashion of the time is changed —
How and which way I may bestow myself
To be regarded in her sun-bright eye .

VALENTINE
Win her with gifts if she respect not words ;
Dumb jewels often in their silent kind
More than quick words do move a woman’s mind .

DUKE
But she did scorn a present that I sent her .

VALENTINE
A woman sometime scorns what best contents her .
Send her another ; never give her o’er ,
For scorn at first makes after-love the more .
If she do frown , ’tis not in hate of you ,
But rather to beget more love in you .
If she do chide , ’tis not to have you gone ,
Forwhy the fools are mad if left alone .
Take no repulse , whatever she doth say ;
For ‘get you gone’ she doth not mean ‘away .’
Flatter and praise , commend , extol their graces ;
Though ne’er so black , say they have angels’ faces .
That man that hath a tongue , I say , is no man
If with his tongue he cannot win a woman .

DUKE
But she I mean is promised by her friends
Unto a youthful gentleman of worth
And kept severely from resort of men ,
That no man hath access by day to her .

[99]ACT 3. SC. 1
VALENTINE
Why , then , I would resort to her by night .

DUKE
Ay , but the doors be locked and keys kept safe ,
That no man hath recourse to her by night .

VALENTINE
What lets but one may enter at her window ?

DUKE
Her chamber is aloft , far from the ground ,
And built so shelving that one cannot climb it
Without apparent hazard of his life .

VALENTINE
Why , then a ladder quaintly made of cords
To cast up , with a pair of anchoring hooks ,
Would serve to scale another Hero’s tower ,
So bold Leander would adventure it .

DUKE
Now , as thou art a gentleman of blood ,
Advise me where I may have such a ladder .

VALENTINE
When would you use it ? Pray sir , tell me that .

DUKE
This very night ; for love is like a child
That longs for everything that he can come by .

VALENTINE
By seven o’clock I’ll get you such a ladder .

DUKE
But hark thee : I will go to her alone ;
How shall I best convey the ladder thither ?

VALENTINE
It will be light , my lord , that you may bear it
Under a cloak that is of any length .

DUKE
A cloak as long as thine will serve the turn ?

VALENTINE
Ay , my good lord .

[101]ACT 3. SC. 1
DUKE
Then let me see thy cloak ;
I’ll get me one of such another length .

VALENTINE
Why , any cloak will serve the turn , my lord .

DUKE
How shall I fashion me to wear a cloak ?
I pray thee , let me feel thy cloak upon me .
Pulling off the cloak , he reveals
a rope ladder and a paper .

What letter is this same ? What’s here ?
( Reads . )
To
Sylvia .
And here an engine fit for my proceeding .
I’ll be so bold to break the seal for once .
( Reads . )

My thoughts do harbor with my Sylvia nightly ,
And slaves they are to me that send them flying .
O , could their master come and go as lightly ,
Himself would lodge where , senseless , they are
lying .
My herald thoughts in thy pure bosom rest them ,
While I , their king , that thither them importune ,
Do curse the grace that with such grace hath blest
them ,
Because myself do want my servants’ fortune .
I curse myself , for they are sent by me ,
That they should harbor where their lord should be .
What’s here ?
( Reads . )
Sylvia , this night I will enfranchise thee .
’Tis so . And here’s the ladder for the purpose .
Why , Phaëton — for thou art Merops’ son —
Wilt thou aspire to guide the heavenly car
And with thy daring folly burn the world ?
Wilt thou reach stars because they shine on thee ?
Go , base intruder , overweening slave ,
Bestow thy fawning smiles on equal mates
And think my patience , more than thy desert ,
[103] ACT 3. SC. 1 Is privilege for thy departure hence .
Thank me for this more than for all the favors
Which all too much I have bestowed on thee .
But if thou linger in my territories
Longer than swiftest expedition
Will give thee time to leave our royal court ,
By heaven , my wrath shall far exceed the love
I ever bore my daughter or thyself .
Begone . I will not hear thy vain excuse ,
But , as thou lov’st thy life , make speed from hence .

He exits .

VALENTINE
And why not death , rather than living torment ?
To die is to be banished from myself ,
And Sylvia is myself ; banished from her
Is self from self — a deadly banishment .
What light is light if Sylvia be not seen ?
What joy is joy if Sylvia be not by —
Unless it be to think that she is by
And feed upon the shadow of perfection ?
Except I be by Sylvia in the night ,
There is no music in the nightingale .
Unless I look on Sylvia in the day ,
There is no day for me to look upon .
She is my essence , and I leave to be
If I be not by her fair influence
Fostered , illumined , cherished , kept alive .
I fly not death , to fly his deadly doom ;
Tarry I here , I but attend on death ,
But fly I hence , I fly away from life .


Enter Proteus and Lance .


PROTEUS
Run , boy , run , run , and seek him out .

LANCE
So-ho , so-ho !

PROTEUS
What seest thou ?

[105]ACT 3. SC. 1
LANCE
Him we go to find . There’s not a hair on ’s head
but ’tis a Valentine .

PROTEUS
Valentine ?

VALENTINE
No .

PROTEUS
Who then ? His spirit ?

VALENTINE
Neither .

PROTEUS
What then ?

VALENTINE
Nothing .

LANCE
Can nothing speak ? Master , shall I strike ?

PROTEUS
Who wouldst thou strike ?

LANCE
Nothing .

PROTEUS
Villain , forbear .

LANCE
Why , sir , I’ll strike nothing . I pray you —

PROTEUS
Sirrah , I say forbear . — Friend Valentine , a word .

VALENTINE
My ears are stopped and cannot hear good news ,
So much of bad already hath possessed them .

PROTEUS
Then in dumb silence will I bury mine ,
For they are harsh , untunable , and bad .

VALENTINE
Is Sylvia dead ?

PROTEUS
No , Valentine .

VALENTINE
No Valentine indeed for sacred Sylvia .
Hath she forsworn me ?

PROTEUS
No , Valentine .

VALENTINE
No Valentine if Sylvia have forsworn me .
What is your news ?

LANCE
Sir , there is a proclamation that you are
vanished .

PROTEUS
That thou art banishèd — O , that’s the news —
From hence , from Sylvia , and from me thy friend .
[107]
VALENTINE
O , I have fed upon this woe already ,
And now excess of it will make me surfeit .
Doth Sylvia know that I am banishèd ?

PROTEUS
Ay , ay , and she hath offered to the doom —
Which unreversed stands in effectual force —
A sea of melting pearl , which some call tears ;
Those at her father’s churlish feet she tendered ,
With them , upon her knees , her humble self ,
Wringing her hands , whose whiteness so became
them
As if but now they waxèd pale for woe .
But neither bended knees , pure hands held up ,
Sad sighs , deep groans , nor silver-shedding tears
Could penetrate her uncompassionate sire ;
But Valentine , if he be ta’en , must die .
Besides , her intercession chafed him so ,
When she for thy repeal was suppliant ,
That to close prison he commanded her
With many bitter threats of biding there .

VALENTINE
No more , unless the next word that thou speak’st
Have some malignant power upon my life .
If so , I pray thee breathe it in mine ear
As ending anthem of my endless dolor .

PROTEUS
Cease to lament for that thou canst not help ,
And study help for that which thou lament’st .
Time is the nurse and breeder of all good .
Here , if thou stay , thou canst not see thy love ;
Besides , thy staying will abridge thy life .
Hope is a lover’s staff ; walk hence with that
And manage it against despairing thoughts .
Thy letters may be here , though thou art hence ,
Which , being writ to me , shall be delivered
[109] ACT 3. SC. 1 Even in the milk-white bosom of thy love .
The time now serves not to expostulate .
Come , I’ll convey thee through the city gate
And , ere I part with thee , confer at large
Of all that may concern thy love affairs .
As thou lov’st Sylvia , though not for thyself ,
Regard thy danger , and along with me .

VALENTINE
I pray thee , Lance , an if thou seest my boy ,
Bid him make haste and meet me at the North
Gate .

PROTEUS
Go , sirrah , find him out . — Come , Valentine .

VALENTINE
O , my dear Sylvia ! Hapless Valentine !

Valentine and Proteus exit .

LANCE
I am but a fool , look you , and yet I have the wit
to think my master is a kind of a knave , but that’s all
one if he be but one knave . He lives not now that
knows me to be in love , yet I am in love , but a team
of horse shall not pluck that from me , nor who ’tis I
love ; and yet ’tis a woman , but what woman I will
not tell myself ; and yet ’tis a milk-maid ; yet ’tis not a
maid , for she hath had gossips ; yet ’tis a maid , for
she is her master’s maid and serves for wages . She
hath more qualities than a water spaniel , which is
much in a bare Christian . He takes out a piece of
paper . Here is the catalog of her condition .
( Reads . )
Imprimis , She can fetch and carry . Why , a
horse can do no more ; nay , a horse cannot fetch but
only carry ; therefore is she better than a jade .
( Reads . )
Item , She can milk . Look you , a sweet
virtue in a maid with clean hands .


Enter Speed .


SPEED
How now , Signior Lance ? What news with your
Mastership ?

[111]ACT 3. SC. 1
LANCE
With my master’s ship ? Why , it is at sea .

SPEED
Well , your old vice still : mistake the word . What
news , then , in your paper ?

LANCE
The black’st news that ever thou heard’st .

SPEED
Why , man ? How black ?

LANCE
Why , as black as ink .

SPEED
Let me read them .

LANCE
Fie on thee , jolt-head , thou canst not read .

SPEED
Thou liest . I can .

LANCE
I will try thee . Tell me this , who begot thee ?

SPEED
Marry , the son of my grandfather .

LANCE
O , illiterate loiterer , it was the son of thy grandmother .
This proves that thou canst not read .

SPEED
Come , fool , come . Try me in thy paper .

LANCE
, giving him the paper
There , and Saint Nicholas
be thy speed .

SPEED
reads
Imprimis , She can milk .

LANCE
Ay , that she can .

SPEED
Item , She brews good ale .

LANCE
And thereof comes the proverb : ‘Blessing of
your heart , you brew good ale .’

SPEED
Item , She can sew .

LANCE
That’s as much as to say ‘Can she so ?’

SPEED
Item , She can knit .

LANCE
What need a man care for a stock with a wench ,
when she can knit him a stock ?

SPEED
Item , She can wash and scour .

LANCE
A special virtue , for then she need not be
washed and scoured .

SPEED
Item , She can spin .

LANCE
Then may I set the world on wheels , when she
can spin for her living .

SPEED
Item , She hath many nameless virtues .

LANCE
That’s as much as to say ‘bastard virtues ,’ that
indeed know not their fathers and therefore have no
names .

[113]ACT 3. SC. 1
SPEED
Here follow her vices .

LANCE
Close at the heels of her virtues .

SPEED
Item , She is not to be kissed fasting in respect of
her breath .

LANCE
Well , that fault may be mended with a breakfast .
Read on .

SPEED
Item , She hath a sweet mouth .

LANCE
That makes amends for her sour breath .

SPEED
Item , She doth talk in her sleep .

LANCE
It’s no matter for that , so she sleep not in her
talk .

SPEED
Item , She is slow in words .

LANCE
O villain , that set this down among her vices ! To
be slow in words is a woman’s only virtue . I pray
thee , out with ’t , and place it for her chief virtue .

SPEED
Item , She is proud .

LANCE
Out with that too ; it was Eve’s legacy and
cannot be ta’en from her .

SPEED
Item , She hath no teeth .

LANCE
I care not for that neither , because I love crusts .

SPEED
Item , She is curst .

LANCE
Well , the best is , she hath no teeth to bite .

SPEED
Item , She will often praise her liquor .

LANCE
If her liquor be good , she shall ; if she will not , I
will , for good things should be praised .

SPEED
Item , She is too liberal .

LANCE
Of her tongue she cannot , for that’s writ down
she is slow of ; of her purse she shall not , for that I’ll
keep shut ; now , of another thing she may , and that
cannot I help . Well , proceed .

SPEED
Item , She hath more hair than wit , and more
faults than hairs , and more wealth than faults .

LANCE
Stop there . I’ll have her . She was mine and not
mine twice or thrice in that last article . Rehearse
that once more .

SPEED
Item , She hath more hair than wit .

[115]ACT 3. SC. 2
LANCE
‘More hair than wit’ ? It may be ; I’ll prove it :
the cover of the salt hides the salt , and therefore it is
more than the salt ; the hair that covers the wit is
more than the wit , for the greater hides the less .
What’s next ?

SPEED
And more faults than hairs .

LANCE
That’s monstrous ! O , that that were out !

SPEED
And more wealth than faults .

LANCE
Why , that word makes the faults gracious . Well ,
I’ll have her , and if it be a match , as nothing is
impossible —

SPEED
What then ?

LANCE
Why , then will I tell thee that thy master stays
for thee at the North Gate .

SPEED
For me ?

LANCE
For thee ? Ay , who art thou ? He hath stayed for a
better man than thee .

SPEED
And must I go to him ?

LANCE
Thou must run to him , for thou hast stayed so
long that going will scarce serve the turn .

SPEED
, handing him the paper
Why didst not tell me
sooner ? Pox of your love letters !
He exits .

LANCE
Now will he be swinged for reading my letter ;
an unmannerly slave , that will thrust himself into
secrets . I’ll after , to rejoice in the boy’s correction .

He exits .

Scene 2

Enter Duke and Thurio .


DUKE
Sir Thurio , fear not but that she will love you
Now Valentine is banished from her sight .

THURIO
Since his exile she hath despised me most ,
[117] ACT 3. SC. 2 Forsworn my company and railed at me ,
That I am desperate of obtaining her .

DUKE
This weak impress of love is as a figure
Trenchèd in ice , which with an hour’s heat
Dissolves to water and doth lose his form .
A little time will melt her frozen thoughts ,
And worthless Valentine shall be forgot .

Enter Proteus .


How now , Sir Proteus ? Is your countryman ,
According to our proclamation , gone ?

PROTEUS
Gone , my good lord .

DUKE
My daughter takes his going grievously .

PROTEUS
A little time , my lord , will kill that grief .

DUKE
So I believe , but Thurio thinks not so .
Proteus , the good conceit I hold of thee ,
For thou hast shown some sign of good desert ,
Makes me the better to confer with thee .

PROTEUS
Longer than I prove loyal to your Grace
Let me not live to look upon your Grace .

DUKE
Thou know’st how willingly I would effect
The match between Sir Thurio and my daughter ?

PROTEUS
I do , my lord .

DUKE
And also , I think , thou art not ignorant
How she opposes her against my will ?

PROTEUS
She did , my lord , when Valentine was here .

DUKE
Ay , and perversely she persevers so .
[119] ACT 3. SC. 2 What might we do to make the girl forget
The love of Valentine , and love Sir Thurio ?

PROTEUS
The best way is to slander Valentine
With falsehood , cowardice , and poor descent ,
Three things that women highly hold in hate .

DUKE
Ay , but she’ll think that it is spoke in hate .

PROTEUS
Ay , if his enemy deliver it .
Therefore it must with circumstance be spoken
By one whom she esteemeth as his friend .

DUKE
Then you must undertake to slander him .

PROTEUS
And that , my lord , I shall be loath to do .
’Tis an ill office for a gentleman ,
Especially against his very friend .

DUKE
Where your good word cannot advantage him ,
Your slander never can endamage him ;
Therefore the office is indifferent ,
Being entreated to it by your friend .

PROTEUS
You have prevailed , my lord . If I can do it
By aught that I can speak in his dispraise ,
She shall not long continue love to him .
But say this weed her love from Valentine ,
It follows not that she will love Sir Thurio .

THURIO
Therefore , as you unwind her love from him ,
Lest it should ravel and be good to none ,
You must provide to bottom it on me ,
Which must be done by praising me as much
As you in worth dispraise Sir Valentine .

[121]ACT 3. SC. 2
DUKE
And , Proteus , we dare trust you in this kind
Because we know , on Valentine’s report ,
You are already Love’s firm votary
And cannot soon revolt and change your mind .
Upon this warrant shall you have access
Where you with Sylvia may confer at large —
For she is lumpish , heavy , melancholy ,
And , for your friend’s sake , will be glad of you —
Where you may temper her by your persuasion
To hate young Valentine and love my friend .

PROTEUS
As much as I can do I will effect . —
But you , Sir Thurio , are not sharp enough .
You must lay lime to tangle her desires
By wailful sonnets , whose composèd rhymes
Should be full-fraught with serviceable vows .

DUKE
Ay , much is the force of heaven-bred poesy .

PROTEUS
Say that upon the altar of her beauty
You sacrifice your tears , your sighs , your heart .
Write till your ink be dry , and with your tears
Moist it again , and frame some feeling line
That may discover such integrity .
For Orpheus’ lute was strung with poets’ sinews ,
Whose golden touch could soften steel and stones ,
Make tigers tame , and huge leviathans
Forsake unsounded deeps to dance on sands .
After your dire-lamenting elegies ,
Visit by night your lady’s chamber window
With some sweet consort ; to their instruments
Tune a deploring dump ; the night’s dead silence
Will well become such sweet complaining
grievance .
This , or else nothing , will inherit her .

[123]ACT 3. SC. 2
DUKE
This discipline shows thou hast been in love .

THURIO
, to Proteus
And thy advice this night I’ll put in practice .
Therefore , sweet Proteus , my direction-giver ,
Let us into the city presently
To sort some gentlemen well-skilled in music .
I have a sonnet that will serve the turn
To give the onset to thy good advice .

DUKE
About it , gentlemen .

PROTEUS
We’ll wait upon your Grace till after supper
And afterward determine our proceedings .

DUKE
Even now about it ! I will pardon you .

They exit .

ACT 4

Scene 1

Enter certain Outlaws .


FIRST OUTLAW
Fellows , stand fast . I see a passenger .

SECOND OUTLAW
If there be ten , shrink not , but down with ’em .


Enter Valentine and Speed .


THIRD OUTLAW
Stand , sir , and throw us that you have about you .
If not , we’ll make you sit , and rifle you .

SPEED
, to Valentine
Sir , we are undone ; these are the villains
That all the travelers do fear so much .

VALENTINE
My friends —

FIRST OUTLAW
That’s not so , sir . We are your enemies .

SECOND OUTLAW
Peace . We’ll hear him .

THIRD OUTLAW
Ay , by my beard , will we , for he is a proper man .

VALENTINE
Then know that I have little wealth to lose .
A man I am crossed with adversity ;
My riches are these poor habiliments ,
Of which , if you should here disfurnish me ,
You take the sum and substance that I have .

[129]ACT 4. SC. 1
SECOND OUTLAW
Whither travel you ?

VALENTINE
To Verona .

FIRST OUTLAW
Whence came you ?

VALENTINE
From Milan .

THIRD OUTLAW
Have you long sojourned there ?

VALENTINE
Some sixteen months , and longer might have stayed
If crooked fortune had not thwarted me .

FIRST OUTLAW
What , were you banished thence ?

VALENTINE
I was .

SECOND OUTLAW
For what offense ?

VALENTINE
For that which now torments me to rehearse ;
I killed a man , whose death I much repent ,
But yet I slew him manfully in fight
Without false vantage or base treachery .

FIRST OUTLAW
Why , ne’er repent it if it were done so ;
But were you banished for so small a fault ?

VALENTINE
I was , and held me glad of such a doom .

SECOND OUTLAW
Have you the tongues ?

VALENTINE
My youthful travel therein made me happy ,
Or else I often had been miserable .

THIRD OUTLAW
By the bare scalp of Robin Hood’s fat friar ,
This fellow were a king for our wild faction .

FIRST OUTLAW
We’ll have him . — Sirs , a word .

The Outlaws step aside to talk .

SPEED
Master , be one of them . It’s an honorable kind
of thievery .

VALENTINE
Peace , villain .

SECOND OUTLAW
, advancing
Tell us this : have you anything to take to ?

[131]ACT 4. SC. 1
VALENTINE
Nothing but my fortune .

THIRD OUTLAW
Know then that some of us are gentlemen ,
Such as the fury of ungoverned youth
Thrust from the company of awful men .
Myself was from Verona banishèd
For practicing to steal away a lady ,
An heir and near allied unto the Duke .

SECOND OUTLAW
And I from Mantua , for a gentleman
Who , in my mood , I stabbed unto the heart .

FIRST OUTLAW
And I for such like petty crimes as these .
But to the purpose : for we cite our faults
That they may hold excused our lawless lives ,
And partly seeing you are beautified
With goodly shape , and by your own report
A linguist , and a man of such perfection
As we do in our quality much want —

SECOND OUTLAW
Indeed because you are a banished man ,
Therefore , above the rest , we parley to you .
Are you content to be our general ,
To make a virtue of necessity
And live as we do in this wilderness ?

THIRD OUTLAW
What sayst thou ? Wilt thou be of our consort ?
Say ay , and be the captain of us all ;
We’ll do thee homage and be ruled by thee ,
Love thee as our commander and our king .

FIRST OUTLAW
But if thou scorn our courtesy , thou diest .

SECOND OUTLAW
Thou shalt not live to brag what we have offered .

[133]ACT 4. SC. 2
VALENTINE
I take your offer and will live with you ,
Provided that you do no outrages
On silly women or poor passengers .

THIRD OUTLAW
No , we detest such vile base practices .
Come , go with us ; we’ll bring thee to our crews
And show thee all the treasure we have got ,
Which , with ourselves , all rest at thy dispose .

They exit .

Scene 2

Enter Proteus .


PROTEUS
Already have I been false to Valentine ,
And now I must be as unjust to Thurio .
Under the color of commending him ,
I have access my own love to prefer .
But Sylvia is too fair , too true , too holy
To be corrupted with my worthless gifts .
When I protest true loyalty to her ,
She twits me with my falsehood to my friend ;
When to her beauty I commend my vows ,
She bids me think how I have been forsworn
In breaking faith with Julia , whom I loved ;
And notwithstanding all her sudden quips ,
The least whereof would quell a lover’s hope ,
Yet , spaniel-like , the more she spurns my love ,
The more it grows and fawneth on her still .
But here comes Thurio . Now must we to her
window
And give some evening music to her ear .

[135]ACT 4. SC. 2
Enter Thurio and Musicians .


THURIO
How now , Sir Proteus , are you crept before us ?

PROTEUS
Ay , gentle Thurio , for you know that love
Will creep in service where it cannot go .

THURIO
Ay , but I hope , sir , that you love not here .

PROTEUS
Sir , but I do , or else I would be hence .

THURIO
Who , Sylvia ?

PROTEUS
Ay , Sylvia , for your sake .

THURIO
I thank you for your own . — Now , gentlemen ,
Let’s tune , and to it lustily awhile .


Enter Host of the inn , and Julia , disguised as a
page , Sebastian . They stand at a distance and talk .


HOST
Now , my young guest , methinks you’re allycholly .
I pray you , why is it ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Marry , mine host , because I
cannot be merry .

HOST
Come , we’ll have you merry . I’ll bring you where
you shall hear music and see the gentleman that you
asked for .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
But shall I hear him speak ?

HOST
Ay , that you shall .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
That will be music .

HOST
Hark , hark .
Music plays .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Is he among these ?

HOST
Ay . But peace ; let’s hear ’em .


[137]ACT 4. SC. 2Song .

PROTEUS
Who is Sylvia ? What is she ,
That all our swains commend her ?
Holy , fair , and wise is she ;
The heaven such grace did lend her
That she might admirèd be .

Is she kind as she is fair ?
For beauty lives with kindness .
Love doth to her eyes repair
To help him of his blindness ;
And , being helped , inhabits there .

Then to Sylvia let us sing ,
That Sylvia is excelling ;
She excels each mortal thing
Upon the dull earth dwelling .
To her let us garlands bring .


HOST
How now ? Are you sadder than you were before ?
How do you , man ? The music likes you not .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
You mistake . The musician likes me
not .

HOST
Why , my pretty youth ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
He plays false , father .

HOST
How , out of tune on the strings ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Not so ; but yet so false that he
grieves my very heart-strings .

HOST
You have a quick ear .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Ay , I would I were deaf ; it makes
me have a slow heart .

HOST
I perceive you delight not in music .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Not a whit when it jars so .

HOST
Hark , what fine change is in the music !

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Ay ; that change is the spite .

HOST
You would have them always play but one
thing ?

[139]ACT 4. SC. 2
JULIA
, as Sebastian
I would always have one play but one thing .
But , host , doth this Sir Proteus , that we talk on ,
Often resort unto this gentlewoman ?

HOST
I tell you what Lance his man told me : he loved
her out of all nick .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Where is Lance ?

HOST
Gone to seek his dog , which tomorrow , by his
master’s command , he must carry for a present to
his lady .
Music ends .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Peace . Stand aside . The company
parts .
Host and Julia move away .

PROTEUS
Sir Thurio , fear not you . I will so plead
That you shall say my cunning drift excels .

THURIO
Where meet we ?

PROTEUS
At Saint Gregory’s well .

THURIO
Farewell .

Thurio and the Musicians exit .


Enter Sylvia , above .


PROTEUS
Madam , good even to your Ladyship .

SYLVIA
I thank you for your music , gentlemen .
Who is that that spake ?

PROTEUS
One , lady , if you knew his pure heart’s truth ,
You would quickly learn to know him by his voice .

SYLVIA
Sir Proteus , as I take it .

PROTEUS
Sir Proteus , gentle lady , and your servant .

SYLVIA
What’s your will ?

[141]ACT 4. SC. 2
PROTEUS
That I may compass yours .

SYLVIA
You have your wish : my will is even this ,
That presently you hie you home to bed .
Thou subtle , perjured , false , disloyal man ,
Think’st thou I am so shallow , so conceitless ,
To be seducèd by thy flattery ,
That hast deceived so many with thy vows ?
Return , return , and make thy love amends .
For me , by this pale queen of night I swear ,
I am so far from granting thy request
That I despise thee for thy wrongful suit
And by and by intend to chide myself
Even for this time I spend in talking to thee .

PROTEUS
I grant , sweet love , that I did love a lady ,
But she is dead .

JULIA
, aside
’Twere false if I should speak it ,
For I am sure she is not burièd .

SYLVIA
Say that she be ; yet Valentine thy friend
Survives , to whom , thyself art witness ,
I am betrothed . And art thou not ashamed
To wrong him with thy importunacy ?

PROTEUS
I likewise hear that Valentine is dead .

SYLVIA
And so suppose am I , for in his grave ,
Assure thyself , my love is burièd .

PROTEUS
Sweet lady , let me rake it from the earth .

SYLVIA
Go to thy lady’s grave and call hers thence ,
Or , at the least , in hers sepulcher thine .

JULIA
, aside
He heard not that .

[143]ACT 4. SC. 3
PROTEUS
Madam , if your heart be so obdurate ,
Vouchsafe me yet your picture for my love ,
The picture that is hanging in your chamber ;
To that I’ll speak , to that I’ll sigh and weep ,
For since the substance of your perfect self
Is else devoted , I am but a shadow ;
And to your shadow will I make true love .

JULIA
, aside
If ’twere a substance you would sure deceive it
And make it but a shadow , as I am .

SYLVIA
I am very loath to be your idol , sir ;
But since your falsehood shall become you well
To worship shadows and adore false shapes ,
Send to me in the morning , and I’ll send it .
And so , good rest .
Sylvia exits .

PROTEUS
As wretches have o’ernight
That wait for execution in the morn .
Proteus exits .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Host , will you go ?

HOST
By my halidom , I was fast asleep .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Pray you , where lies Sir Proteus ?

HOST
Marry , at my house . Trust me , I think ’tis almost
day .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Not so ; but it hath been the longest night
That e’er I watched , and the most heaviest .

They exit .

Scene 3

Enter Eglamour .


EGLAMOUR
This is the hour that Madam Sylvia
Entreated me to call and know her mind ;
[145] ACT 4. SC. 3 There’s some great matter she’d employ me in .
Madam , madam !


Enter Sylvia , above .


SYLVIA
Who calls ?

EGLAMOUR
Your servant , and your friend ,
One that attends your Ladyship’s command .

SYLVIA
Sir Eglamour , a thousand times good morrow .

EGLAMOUR
As many , worthy lady , to yourself .
According to your Ladyship’s impose ,
I am thus early come to know what service
It is your pleasure to command me in .

SYLVIA
O Eglamour , thou art a gentleman —
Think not I flatter , for I swear I do not —
Valiant , wise , remorseful , well accomplished .
Thou art not ignorant what dear good will
I bear unto the banished Valentine ,
Nor how my father would enforce me marry
Vain Thurio , whom my very soul abhorred .
Thyself hast loved , and I have heard thee say
No grief did ever come so near thy heart
As when thy lady and thy true love died ,
Upon whose grave thou vow’dst pure chastity .
Sir Eglamour , I would to Valentine ,
To Mantua , where I hear he makes abode ;
And for the ways are dangerous to pass ,
I do desire thy worthy company ,
Upon whose faith and honor I repose .
Urge not my father’s anger , Eglamour ,
But think upon my grief , a lady’s grief ,
And on the justice of my flying hence
[147] ACT 4. SC. 4 To keep me from a most unholy match ,
Which heaven and fortune still rewards with plagues .
I do desire thee , even from a heart
As full of sorrows as the sea of sands ,
To bear me company and go with me ;
If not , to hide what I have said to thee ,
That I may venture to depart alone .

EGLAMOUR
Madam , I pity much your grievances ,
Which , since I know they virtuously are placed ,
I give consent to go along with you ,
Recking as little what betideth me
As much I wish all good befortune you .
When will you go ?

SYLVIA
This evening coming .

EGLAMOUR
Where shall I meet you ?

SYLVIA
At Friar Patrick’s cell ,
Where I intend holy confession .

EGLAMOUR
I will not fail your Ladyship . Good morrow , gentle
lady .

SYLVIA
Good morrow , kind Sir Eglamour .

They exit .

Scene 4

Enter Lance , with his dog , Crab .


LANCE
When a man’s servant shall play the cur with
him , look you , it goes hard — one that I brought up
of a puppy , one that I saved from drowning when
three or four of his blind brothers and sisters went
to it . I have taught him even as one would say
precisely ‘Thus I would teach a dog .’ I was sent to
[149] ACT 4. SC. 4 deliver him as a present to Mistress Sylvia from my
master ; and I came no sooner into the dining
chamber but he steps me to her trencher and steals
her capon’s leg . O , ’tis a foul thing when a cur
cannot keep himself in all companies ! I would have ,
as one should say , one that takes upon him to be a
dog indeed ; to be , as it were , a dog at all things . If I
had not had more wit than he , to take a fault upon
me that he did , I think verily he had been hanged
for ’t . Sure as I live , he had suffered for ’t . You shall
judge . He thrusts me himself into the company of
three or four gentlemanlike dogs under the Duke’s
table ; he had not been there — bless the mark ! — a
pissing while but all the chamber smelt him . ‘Out
with the dog !’ says one . ‘What cur is that ?’ says
another . ‘Whip him out !’ says the third . ‘Hang him
up !’ says the Duke . I , having been acquainted with
the smell before , knew it was Crab , and goes me to
the fellow that whips the dogs . ‘Friend ,’ quoth I ,
‘You mean to whip the dog ?’ ‘Ay , marry , do I ,’
quoth he . ‘You do him the more wrong ,’ quoth I .
‘’Twas I did the thing you wot of .’ He makes me no
more ado but whips me out of the chamber . How
many masters would do this for his servant ? Nay ,
I’ll be sworn I have sat in the stocks for puddings he
hath stolen ; otherwise he had been executed . I have
stood on the pillory for geese he hath killed ; otherwise
he had suffered for ’t .
To Crab .
Thou think’st
not of this now . Nay , I remember the trick you
served me when I took my leave of Madam Sylvia .
Did not I bid thee still mark me , and do as I do ?
When didst thou see me heave up my leg and make
water against a gentlewoman’s farthingale ? Didst
thou ever see me do such a trick ?

[151]ACT 4. SC. 4
Enter Proteus and Julia disguised as Sebastian .


PROTEUS
Sebastian is thy name ? I like thee well
And will employ thee in some service presently .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
In what you please . I’ll do what I can .

PROTEUS
I hope thou wilt .
To Lance .
How now , you
whoreson peasant ?
Where have you been these two days loitering ?

LANCE
Marry , sir , I carried Mistress Sylvia the dog you
bade me .

PROTEUS
And what says she to my little jewel ?

LANCE
Marry , she says your dog was a cur , and tells
you currish thanks is good enough for such a
present .

PROTEUS
But she received my dog ?

LANCE
No , indeed , did she not . Here have I brought
him back again .

PROTEUS
What , didst thou offer her this from me ?

LANCE
Ay , sir . The other squirrel was stolen from me
by the hangman’s boys in the market-place , and
then I offered her mine own , who is a dog as big as
ten of yours , and therefore the gift the greater .

PROTEUS
Go , get thee hence , and find my dog again ,
Or ne’er return again into my sight .
Away , I say . Stayest thou to vex me here ?
Lance exits with Crab .

A slave that still an end turns me to shame .
Sebastian , I have entertainèd thee ,
Partly that I have need of such a youth
That can with some discretion do my business —
For ’tis no trusting to yond foolish lout —
But chiefly for thy face and thy behavior ,
[153] ACT 4. SC. 4 Which , if my augury deceive me not ,
Witness good bringing-up , fortune , and truth .
Therefore , know thou , for this I entertain thee .
Go presently , and take this ring with thee ;
Deliver it to Madam Sylvia .
She loved me well delivered it to me .

He gives her a ring .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
It seems you loved not her , to leave her token .
She is dead belike ?

PROTEUS
Not so ; I think she lives .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Alas !

PROTEUS
Why dost thou cry ‘Alas’ ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
I cannot choose but pity her .

PROTEUS
Wherefore shouldst thou pity her ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Because methinks that she loved you as well
As you do love your lady Sylvia .
She dreams on him that has forgot her love ;
You dote on her that cares not for your love .
’Tis pity love should be so contrary ,
And thinking on it makes me cry ‘Alas .’

PROTEUS
Well , give her that ring and therewithal
This letter . He gives her a paper . That’s her
chamber . Tell my lady
I claim the promise for her heavenly picture .
Your message done , hie home unto my chamber ,
Where thou shalt find me sad and solitary .

Proteus exits .

JULIA
How many women would do such a message ?
Alas , poor Proteus , thou hast entertained
A fox to be the shepherd of thy lambs .
Alas , poor fool , why do I pity him
[155] ACT 4. SC. 4 That with his very heart despiseth me ?
Because he loves her , he despiseth me ;
Because I love him , I must pity him .
This ring I gave him when he parted from me ,
To bind him to remember my good will ;
And now am I , unhappy messenger ,
To plead for that which I would not obtain ,
To carry that which I would have refused ,
To praise his faith , which I would have dispraised .
I am my master’s true confirmèd love ,
But cannot be true servant to my master
Unless I prove false traitor to myself .
Yet will I woo for him , but yet so coldly
As — Heaven it knows ! — I would not have him
speed .

Enter Sylvia .


As Sebastian .
Gentlewoman , good day . I pray you be
my mean
To bring me where to speak with Madam Sylvia .

SYLVIA
What would you with her , if that I be she ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
If you be she , I do entreat your patience
To hear me speak the message I am sent on .

SYLVIA
From whom ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
From my master , Sir Proteus ,
madam .

SYLVIA
O , he sends you for a picture ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Ay , madam .

SYLVIA
, calling
Ursula , bring my picture there .
She is brought the picture .

Go , give your master this . Tell him from me ,
One Julia , that his changing thoughts forget ,
Would better fit his chamber than this shadow .

[157]ACT 4. SC. 4
JULIA
, as Sebastian
Madam , please you peruse this
letter .
She gives Sylvia a paper .

Pardon me , madam , I have unadvised
Delivered you a paper that I should not .
This is the letter to your Ladyship .

She takes back the first paper
and hands Sylvia another .

SYLVIA
I pray thee let me look on that again .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
It may not be ; good madam , pardon me .

SYLVIA
There , hold .
I will not look upon your master’s lines ;
I know they are stuffed with protestations
And full of new-found oaths , which he will break
As easily as I do tear his paper .

She tears the second paper .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Madam , he sends your Ladyship this ring .

She offers Sylvia a ring .

SYLVIA
The more shame for him , that he sends it me ;
For I have heard him say a thousand times
His Julia gave it him at his departure .
Though his false finger have profaned the ring ,
Mine shall not do his Julia so much wrong .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
She thanks you .

SYLVIA
What sayst thou ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
I thank you , madam , that you tender her ;
Poor gentlewoman , my master wrongs her much .

SYLVIA
Dost thou know her ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Almost as well as I do know myself .
[159] ACT 4. SC. 4 To think upon her woes , I do protest
That I have wept a hundred several times .

SYLVIA
Belike she thinks that Proteus hath forsook her ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
I think she doth , and that’s her cause of sorrow .

SYLVIA
Is she not passing fair ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
She hath been fairer , madam , than she is ;
When she did think my master loved her well ,
She , in my judgment , was as fair as you .
But since she did neglect her looking-glass
And threw her sun-expelling mask away ,
The air hath starved the roses in her cheeks
And pinched the lily tincture of her face ,
That now she is become as black as I .

SYLVIA
How tall was she ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
About my stature ; for at Pentecost ,
When all our pageants of delight were played ,
Our youth got me to play the woman’s part ,
And I was trimmed in Madam Julia’s gown ,
Which served me as fit , by all men’s judgments ,
As if the garment had been made for me ;
Therefore I know she is about my height .
And at that time I made her weep agood ,
For I did play a lamentable part ;
Madam , ’twas Ariadne , passioning
For Theseus’ perjury and unjust flight ,
Which I so lively acted with my tears
That my poor mistress , movèd therewithal ,
Wept bitterly ; and would I might be dead
If I in thought felt not her very sorrow .

SYLVIA
She is beholding to thee , gentle youth .
[161] ACT 4. SC. 4 Alas , poor lady , desolate and left !
I weep myself to think upon thy words .
Here , youth , there is my purse .
She gives Julia a purse .

I give thee this
For thy sweet mistress’ sake , because thou lov’st her .
Farewell .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
And she shall thank you for ’t if e’er you know her .
Sylvia exits .

A virtuous gentlewoman , mild and beautiful .
I hope my master’s suit will be but cold ,
Since she respects my mistress’ love so much . —
Alas , how love can trifle with itself !
Here is her picture ; let me see . I think
If I had such a tire , this face of mine
Were full as lovely as is this of hers ;
And yet the painter flattered her a little ,
Unless I flatter with myself too much .
Her hair is auburn ; mine is perfect yellow ;
If that be all the difference in his love ,
I’ll get me such a colored periwig .
Her eyes are gray as glass , and so are mine .
Ay , but her forehead’s low , and mine’s as high .
What should it be that he respects in her
But I can make respective in myself
If this fond Love were not a blinded god ?
Come , shadow , come , and take this shadow up ,
For ’tis thy rival . O , thou senseless form ,
Thou shalt be worshipped , kissed , loved , and
adored ;
And were there sense in his idolatry ,
My substance should be statue in thy stead .
[163] ACT 4. SC. 4 I’ll use thee kindly for thy mistress’ sake ,
That used me so , or else , by Jove I vow ,
I should have scratched out your unseeing eyes
To make my master out of love with thee .

She exits .

[167]

ACT 5

Scene 1

Enter Eglamour .


EGLAMOUR
The sun begins to gild the western sky ,
And now it is about the very hour
That Sylvia 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 Sylvia .


See where she comes . — Lady , a happy evening .

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

EGLAMOUR
Fear not . The forest is not three leagues off ;
If we recover that , we are sure enough .

They exit .

[169]ACT 5. SC. 2

Scene 2

Enter Thurio , Proteus , and Julia , disguised as
Sebastian .


THURIO
Sir Proteus , what says Sylvia to my suit ?

PROTEUS
O sir , I find her milder than she was ,
And yet she takes exceptions at your person .

THURIO
What ? That my leg is too long ?

PROTEUS
No , that it is too little .

THURIO
I’ll wear a boot to make it somewhat rounder .

JULIA
, aside
But love will not be spurred to what it loathes .

THURIO
What says she to my face ?

PROTEUS
She says it is a fair one .

THURIO
Nay , then the wanton lies ; my face is black .

PROTEUS
But pearls are fair , and the old saying is ,
Black men are pearls in beauteous ladies’ eyes .

JULIA
, aside
’Tis true , such pearls as put out ladies’ eyes ,
For I had rather wink than look on them .

THURIO
How likes she my discourse ?

PROTEUS
Ill , when you talk of war .

THURIO
But well when I discourse of love and peace .

JULIA
, aside
But better , indeed , when you hold your peace .

THURIO
What says she to my valor ?

PROTEUS
O , sir , she makes no doubt of that .

JULIA
, aside
She needs not when she knows it cowardice .

[171]ACT 5. SC. 2
THURIO
What says she to my birth ?

PROTEUS
That you are well derived .

JULIA
, aside
True , from a gentleman to a fool .

THURIO
Considers she my possessions ?

PROTEUS
O , ay , and pities them .

THURIO
Wherefore ?

JULIA
, aside
That such an ass should owe them .

PROTEUS
That they are out by lease .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Here comes the Duke .


Enter Duke .


DUKE
How now , Sir Proteus ? — How now , Thurio ?
Which of you saw Eglamour of late ?

THURIO
Not I .

PROTEUS
Nor I .

DUKE
Saw you my daughter ?

PROTEUS
Neither .

DUKE
Why , then , she’s fled unto that peasant , Valentine ,
And Eglamour is in her company .
’Tis true , for Friar Lawrence met them both
As he , in penance , wandered through the forest ;
Him he knew well and guessed that it was she ,
But , being masked , he was not sure of it .
Besides , she did intend confession
At Patrick’s cell this even , and there she was not .
These likelihoods confirm her flight from hence .
Therefore I pray you stand not to discourse ,
But mount you presently and meet with me
Upon the rising of the mountain foot
That leads toward Mantua , whither they are fled .
Dispatch , sweet gentlemen , and follow me .

He exits .

[173]ACT 5. SC. 3
THURIO
Why , this it is to be a peevish girl
That flies her fortune when it follows her .
I’ll after , more to be revenged on Eglamour
Than for the love of reckless Sylvia .
He exits .

PROTEUS
And I will follow , more for Sylvia’s love
Than hate of Eglamour that goes with her .

He exits .

JULIA
And I will follow , more to cross that love
Than hate for Sylvia , that is gone for love .

She exits .

Scene 3

Enter Sylvia and Outlaws .


FIRST OUTLAW
Come , come , be patient . We must bring you to our
captain .

SYLVIA
A thousand more mischances than this one
Have learned me how to brook this patiently .

SECOND OUTLAW
Come , bring her away .

FIRST OUTLAW
Where is the gentleman that was with her ?

THIRD OUTLAW
Being nimble-footed , he hath outrun us ,
But Moyses and Valerius follow him .
Go thou with her to the west end of the wood ;
There is our captain . We’ll follow him that’s fled .
The thicket is beset ; he cannot ’scape .

Second and Third Outlaws exit .

FIRST OUTLAW
Come , I must bring you to our captain’s cave .
[175] ACT 5. SC. 4 Fear not ; he bears an honorable mind
And will not use a woman lawlessly .

SYLVIA
O Valentine , this I endure for thee !

They exit .

Scene 4

Enter Valentine .


VALENTINE
How use doth breed a habit in a man !
This shadowy desert , unfrequented woods ,
I better brook than flourishing peopled towns ;
Here can I sit alone , unseen of any ,
And to the nightingale’s complaining notes
Tune my distresses and record my woes .
O thou that dost inhabit in my breast ,
Leave not the mansion so long tenantless
Lest , growing ruinous , the building fall
And leave no memory of what it was .
Repair me with thy presence , Sylvia ;
Thou gentle nymph , cherish thy forlorn swain .
Shouting and sounds of fighting .

What hallowing and what stir is this today ?
These are my mates , that make their wills their law ,
Have some unhappy passenger in chase .
They love me well , yet I have much to do
To keep them from uncivil outrages .
Withdraw thee , Valentine . Who’s this comes here ?

He steps aside .


Enter Proteus , Sylvia , and Julia , disguised as
Sebastian .


PROTEUS
Madam , this service I have done for you —
[177] ACT 5. SC. 4 Though you respect not aught your servant doth —
To hazard life , and rescue you from him
That would have forced your honor and your love .
Vouchsafe me for my meed but one fair look ;
A smaller boon than this I cannot beg ,
And less than this I am sure you cannot give .

VALENTINE
, aside
How like a dream is this I see and hear !
Love , lend me patience to forbear awhile .

SYLVIA
O miserable , unhappy that I am !

PROTEUS
Unhappy were you , madam , ere I came ,
But by my coming , I have made you happy .

SYLVIA
By thy approach thou mak’st me most unhappy .

JULIA
, aside
And me , when he approacheth to your presence .

SYLVIA
Had I been seizèd by a hungry lion ,
I would have been a breakfast to the beast
Rather than have false Proteus rescue me .
O heaven , be judge how I love Valentine ,
Whose life’s as tender to me as my soul ;
And full as much , for more there cannot be ,
I do detest false perjured Proteus .
Therefore begone ; solicit me no more .

PROTEUS
What dangerous action , stood it next to death ,
Would I not undergo for one calm look !
O , ’tis the curse in love , and still approved ,
When women cannot love where they’re beloved .

SYLVIA
When Proteus cannot love where he’s beloved .
Read over Julia’s heart , thy first best love ,
For whose dear sake thou didst then rend thy faith
[179] ACT 5. SC. 4 Into a thousand oaths ; and all those oaths
Descended into perjury to love me .
Thou hast no faith left now unless thou ’dst two ,
And that’s far worse than none ; better have none
Than plural faith , which is too much by one .
Thou counterfeit to thy true friend !

PROTEUS
In love
Who respects friend ?

SYLVIA
All men but Proteus .

PROTEUS
Nay , if the gentle spirit of moving words
Can no way change you to a milder form ,
I’ll woo you like a soldier , at arms’ end ,
And love you ’gainst the nature of love — force you .

He seizes her .

SYLVIA
O , heaven !

PROTEUS
I’ll force thee yield to my desire .

VALENTINE
, advancing
Ruffian , let go that rude uncivil touch ,
Thou friend of an ill fashion .

PROTEUS
Valentine !

VALENTINE
Thou common friend , that’s without faith or love ,
For such is a friend now . Treacherous man ,
Thou hast beguiled my hopes ; nought but mine eye
Could have persuaded me . Now I dare not say
I have one friend alive ; thou wouldst disprove me .
Who should be trusted when one’s right hand
Is perjured to the bosom ? Proteus ,
I am sorry I must never trust thee more ,
But count the world a stranger for thy sake .
The private wound is deepest . O , time most
accursed ,
’Mongst all foes that a friend should be the worst !

[181]ACT 5. SC. 4
PROTEUS
My shame and guilt confounds me .
Forgive me , Valentine . If hearty sorrow
Be a sufficient ransom for offense ,
I tender ’t here . I do as truly suffer
As e’er I did commit .

VALENTINE
Then I am paid ,
And once again I do receive thee honest .
Who by repentance is not satisfied
Is nor of heaven nor Earth , for these are pleased ;
By penitence th’ Eternal’s wrath’s appeased .
And that my love may appear plain and free ,
All that was mine in Sylvia I give thee .

JULIA
, aside
O me unhappy !
She swoons .

PROTEUS
Look to the boy .

VALENTINE
Why , boy !
Why , wag , how now ? What’s the matter ? Look up .
Speak .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
O , good sir , my master charged
me to deliver a ring to Madam Sylvia , which out of
my neglect was never done .

PROTEUS
Where is that ring , boy ?

JULIA
, as Sebastian
Here ’tis ; this is it .

She rises , and hands him a ring .

PROTEUS
How , let me see .
Why , this is the ring I gave to Julia .

JULIA
, as Sebastian
O , cry you mercy , sir , I have mistook .
This is the ring you sent to Sylvia .

She offers another ring .

PROTEUS
But how cam’st thou by this ring ? At my depart
I gave this unto Julia .

JULIA
And Julia herself did give it me ,
And Julia herself hath brought it hither .

She reveals herself .

[183]ACT 5. SC. 4
PROTEUS
How ? Julia !

JULIA
Behold her that gave aim to all thy oaths
And entertained ’em deeply in her heart .
How oft hast thou with perjury cleft the root !
O , Proteus , let this habit make thee blush .
Be thou ashamed that I have took upon me
Such an immodest raiment , if shame live
In a disguise of love .
It is the lesser blot , modesty finds ,
Women to change their shapes than men their minds .

PROTEUS
‘Than men their minds’ ? ’Tis true . O heaven , were
man
But constant , he were perfect ; that one error
Fills him with faults , makes him run through all th’
sins ;
Inconstancy falls off ere it begins .
What is in Sylvia’s face but I may spy
More fresh in Julia’s , with a constant eye ?

VALENTINE
, to Julia and Proteus
Come , come , a
hand from either .
Let me be blest to make this happy close .
’Twere pity two such friends should be long foes .

Valentine joins the hands of Julia and Proteus .

PROTEUS
Bear witness , heaven , I have my wish forever .

JULIA
And I mine .


Enter Thurio , Duke , and Outlaws .


OUTLAWS
A prize , a prize , a prize !

VALENTINE
Forbear , forbear , I say . It is my lord the Duke .
The Outlaws release the Duke and Thurio .

Your Grace is welcome to a man disgraced ,
Banished Valentine .

[185]ACT 5. SC. 4
DUKE
Sir Valentine ?

THURIO
Yonder is Sylvia , and Sylvia’s mine .

VALENTINE
Thurio , give back , or else embrace thy death ;
Come not within the measure of my wrath .
Do not name Sylvia thine ; if once again ,
Verona shall not hold thee . Here she stands ;
Take but possession of her with a touch —
I dare thee but to breathe upon my love !

THURIO
Sir Valentine , I care not for her , I .
I hold him but a fool that will endanger
His body for a girl that loves him not .
I claim her not , and therefore she is thine .

DUKE
The more degenerate and base art thou
To make such means for her as thou hast done ,
And leave her on such slight conditions . —
Now , by the honor of my ancestry ,
I do applaud thy spirit , Valentine ,
And think thee worthy of an empress’ love .
Know , then , I here forget all former griefs ,
Cancel all grudge , repeal thee home again ,
Plead a new state in thy unrivaled merit ,
To which I thus subscribe : Sir Valentine ,
Thou art a gentleman , and well derived ;
Take thou thy Sylvia , for thou hast deserved her .

VALENTINE
I thank your Grace , the gift hath made me happy .
I now beseech you , for your daughter’s sake ,
To grant one boon that I shall ask of you .

DUKE
I grant it for thine own , whate’er it be .

VALENTINE
These banished men , that I have kept withal ,
[187] ACT 5. SC. 4 Are men endued with worthy qualities .
Forgive them what they have committed here ,
And let them be recalled from their exile ;
They are reformèd , civil , full of good ,
And fit for great employment , worthy lord .

DUKE
Thou hast prevailed ; I pardon them and thee .
Dispose of them as thou know’st their deserts .
Come , let us go ; we will include all jars
With triumphs , mirth , and rare solemnity .

VALENTINE
And as we walk along , I dare be bold
With our discourse to make your Grace to smile .
Pointing to Julia . What think you of this page , my
lord ?

DUKE
I think the boy hath grace in him ; he blushes .

VALENTINE
I warrant you , my lord , more grace than boy .

DUKE
What mean you by that saying ?

VALENTINE
Please you , I’ll tell you as we pass along ,
That you will wonder what hath fortunèd . —
Come , Proteus , ’tis your penance but to hear
The story of your loves discoverèd .
That done , our day of marriage shall be yours ,
One feast , one house , one mutual happiness .
