<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>You have said, sir.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>THURIO</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Ay, sir, and done too, for this time.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I know it well, sir; you always end ere you begin.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>SILVIA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>A fine volley of words, gentlemen, and quickly shot off.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>'Tis indeed, madam; we thank the giver.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>SILVIA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Who is that, servant?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Yourself, sweet lady; for you gave the fire. Sir</LINE>
<LINE>Thurio borrows his wit from your ladyship's looks,</LINE>
<LINE>and spends what he borrows kindly in your company.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>THURIO</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Sir, if you spend word for word with me, I shall</LINE>
<LINE>make your wit bankrupt.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I know it well, sir; you have an exchequer of words,</LINE>
<LINE>and, I think, no other treasure to give your</LINE>
<LINE>followers, for it appears by their bare liveries,</LINE>
<LINE>that they live by your bare words.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>SILVIA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>No more, gentlemen, no more:--here comes my father.</LINE>
</SPEECH>


<STAGEDIR>Enter DUKE</STAGEDIR>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DUKE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Now, daughter Silvia, you are hard beset.</LINE>
<LINE>Sir Valentine, your father's in good health:</LINE>
<LINE>What say you to a letter from your friends</LINE>
<LINE>Of much good news?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>My lord, I will be thankful.</LINE>
<LINE>To any happy messenger from thence.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DUKE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Know ye Don Antonio, your countryman?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

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

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DUKE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Hath he not a son?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Ay, my good lord; a son that well deserves</LINE>
<LINE>The honour and regard of such a father.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DUKE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>You know him well?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

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

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

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Should I have wish'd a thing, it had been he.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DUKE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Welcome him then according to his worth.</LINE>
<LINE>Silvia, I speak to you, and you, Sir Thurio;</LINE>
<LINE>For Valentine, I need not cite him to it:</LINE>
<LINE>I will send him hither to you presently.</LINE>
</SPEECH>


<STAGEDIR>Exit</STAGEDIR>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>This is the gentleman I told your ladyship</LINE>
<LINE>Had come along with me, but that his mistress</LINE>
<LINE>Did hold his eyes lock'd in her crystal looks.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>SILVIA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Belike that now she hath enfranchised them</LINE>
<LINE>Upon some other pawn for fealty.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Nay, sure, I think she holds them prisoners still.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>SILVIA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Nay, then he should be blind; and, being blind</LINE>
<LINE>How could he see his way to seek out you?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Why, lady, Love hath twenty pair of eyes.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>THURIO</SPEAKER>
<LINE>They say that Love hath not an eye at all.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>To see such lovers, Thurio, as yourself:</LINE>
<LINE>Upon a homely object Love can wink.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>SILVIA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Have done, have done; here comes the gentleman.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<STAGEDIR>Exit THURIO</STAGEDIR>
<STAGEDIR>Enter PROTEUS</STAGEDIR>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Welcome, dear Proteus! Mistress, I beseech you,</LINE>
<LINE>Confirm his welcome with some special favour.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>SILVIA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>His worth is warrant for his welcome hither,</LINE>
<LINE>If this be he you oft have wish'd to hear from.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Mistress, it is: sweet lady, entertain him</LINE>
<LINE>To be my fellow-servant to your ladyship.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>SILVIA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Too low a mistress for so high a servant.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Not so, sweet lady: but too mean a servant</LINE>
<LINE>To have a look of such a worthy mistress.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Leave off discourse of disability:</LINE>
<LINE>Sweet lady, entertain him for your servant.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>My duty will I boast of; nothing else.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>SILVIA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>And duty never yet did want his meed:</LINE>
<LINE>Servant, you are welcome to a worthless mistress.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I'll die on him that says so but yourself.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>SILVIA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>That you are welcome?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>That you are worthless.</LINE>
</SPEECH>


<STAGEDIR>Re-enter THURIO</STAGEDIR>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>THURIO</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Madam, my lord your father would speak with you.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>SILVIA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I wait upon his pleasure. Come, Sir Thurio,</LINE>
<LINE>Go with me. Once more, new servant, welcome:</LINE>
<LINE>I'll leave you to confer of home affairs;</LINE>
<LINE>When you have done, we look to hear from you.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>We'll both attend upon your ladyship.</LINE>
</SPEECH>


<STAGEDIR>Exeunt SILVIA and THURIO</STAGEDIR>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Now, tell me, how do all from whence you came?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Your friends are well and have them much commended.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>And how do yours?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I left them all in health.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>How does your lady? and how thrives your love?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>My tales of love were wont to weary you;</LINE>
<LINE>I know you joy not in a love discourse.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

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

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Enough; I read your fortune in your eye.</LINE>
<LINE>Was this the idol that you worship so?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Even she; and is she not a heavenly saint?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>No; but she is an earthly paragon.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Call her divine.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I will not flatter her.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>O, flatter me; for love delights in praises.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>When I was sick, you gave me bitter pills,</LINE>
<LINE>And I must minister the like to you.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Then speak the truth by her; if not divine,</LINE>
<LINE>Yet let her be a principality,</LINE>
<LINE>Sovereign to all the creatures on the earth.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Except my mistress.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Sweet, except not any;</LINE>
<LINE>Except thou wilt except against my love.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Have I not reason to prefer mine own?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

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

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Why, Valentine, what braggardism is this?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Pardon me, Proteus: all I can is nothing</LINE>
<LINE>To her whose worth makes other worthies nothing;</LINE>
<LINE>She is alone.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Then let her alone.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Not for the world: why, man, she is mine own,</LINE>
<LINE>And I as rich in having such a jewel</LINE>
<LINE>As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl,</LINE>
<LINE>The water nectar and the rocks pure gold.</LINE>
<LINE>Forgive me that I do not dream on thee,</LINE>
<LINE>Because thou see'st me dote upon my love.</LINE>
<LINE>My foolish rival, that her father likes</LINE>
<LINE>Only for his possessions are so huge,</LINE>
<LINE>Is gone with her along, and I must after,</LINE>
<LINE>For love, thou know'st, is full of jealousy.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>But she loves you?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

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

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>PROTEUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Go on before; I shall inquire you forth:</LINE>
<LINE>I must unto the road, to disembark</LINE>
<LINE>Some necessaries that I needs must use,</LINE>
<LINE>And then I'll presently attend you.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>VALENTINE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Will you make haste?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

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