SCENE 2. Verona. A room in JULIA’S house.
Оглавление[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.
[Gives him a ring.]
PROTEUS.
Why, then, we’ll make exchange. Here, take you this.
[Gives her another.]
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!
[Exit JULIA.]
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 PANTHINO.]
PANTHINO.
Sir Proteus, you are stay’d for.
PROTEUS.
Go; I come, I come.
Alas! this parting strikes poor lovers dumb.
[Exeunt.]
