HOST。 How now； are you sadder than you were before？ How do you；
man？ The music likes you not。 JULIA。 You mistake； the musician likes me
not。 HOST。 Why； my pretty youth？ JULIA。 He plays false； father。 HOST。
How； out of tune on the strings？ JULIA。 Not so； but yet so false that he
grieves my very heart…strings。 HOST。 You have a quick ear。 JULIA。 Ay； I
would I were deaf； it makes me have a slow heart。 HOST。 I perceive you
delight not in music。 JULIA。 Not a whit； when it jars so。 HOST。 Hark；
what fine change is in the music！ JULIA。 Ay； that change is the spite。
HOST。 You would have them always play but one thing？ JULIA。 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
Launce； his man； told me： he lov'd her out of all nick。 JULIA。 Where is
Launce？ HOST。 Gone to seek his dog； which to…morrow； by his master's
command； he must carry for a present to his lady。 JULIA。 Peace； stand
aside； the company parts。 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。 Exeunt
THURIO and MUSICIANS
Enter SILVIA above； at her window
PROTEUS。 Madam； good ev'n to your ladyship。 SILVIA。 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。 SILVIA。 Sir Proteus； as I take it。 PROTEUS。 Sir Proteus；
gentle lady； and your servant。 SILVIA。 What's your will？ PROTEUS。 That
I may compass yours。 SILVIA。 You have your wish； my will is even this；
That presently you hie you home to bed。 Thou subtle； perjur'd； false；
disloyal man； Think'st thou I am so shallow； so conceitless； To be seduced
by thy flattery That hast deceiv'd 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 buried。 SILVIA。 Say that she be； yet Valentine； thy friend；
Survives； to whom； thyself art witness； I am betroth'd； and art thou not
asham'd To wrong him with thy importunacy？ PROTEUS。 I likewise hear
that Valentine is dead。 SILVIA。 And so suppose am I； for in his grave
Assure thyself my love is buried。 PROTEUS。 Sweet lady； let me rake it
from the earth。 SILVIA。 Go to thy lady's grave； and call hers thence； Or； at
the least； in hers sepulchre thine。 JULIA。 ＇Aside＇ He heard not that。
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。 SILVIA。 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。 PROTEUS。 As wretches have o'ernight That
wait for execution in the morn。 Exeunt PROTEUS and SILVIA JULIA。
Host； will you go？ HOST。 By my halidom； I was fast asleep。 JULIA。 Pray
you； where lies Sir Proteus？ HOST。 Marry； at my house。 Trust me； I think
'tis almost day。 JULIA。 Not so； but it hath been the longest night That e'er
I watch'd； and the most heaviest。 Exeunt

SCENE III。 Under SILVIA'S window
Enter EGLAMOUR
EGLAMOUR。 This is the hour that Madam Silvia Entreated me to
call and know her mind； There's some great matter she'd employ me in。
Madam； madam！
Enter SILVIA above； at her window
SILVIA。 Who calls？ EGLAMOUR。 Your servant and your friend；
One that attends your ladyship's command。 SILVIA。 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。 SILVIA。 O
Eglamour； thou art a gentleman… Think not I flatter； for I swear I do not…
Valiant； wise； remorseful； well accomplish'd。 Thou art not ignorant what
dear good will I bear unto the banish'd Valentine； Nor how my father
would enforce me marry Vain Thurio； whom my very soul abhors。 Thyself
hast lov'd； 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 honour 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 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 plac'd； 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？ SILVIA。 This evening
coming。 EGLAMOUR。 Where shall I meet you？ SILVIA。 At Friar
Patrick's cell； Where I intend holy confession。 EGLAMOUR。 I will not
fail your ladyship。 Good morrow； gentle lady。 SILVIA。 Good morrow；
kind Sir Eglamour。 Exeunt

SCENE IV。 Under SILVIA'S Window
Enter LAUNCE with his dog
LAUNCE。 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 sav'd 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 deliver him as a present to Mistress Silvia 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 hang'd for't； sure as I live； he had suffer'd
for't。 You shall judge。 He thrusts me himself into the company of three or
four gentleman…like 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 stock for puddings he hath stol'n； otherwise he had be
