| [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. |
| [Giving a ring] | |
| PROTEUS | 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! |
| [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] |
