with noblemen; And be in eye of every exercise Worthy his youth and
nobleness of birth。 ANTONIO。 I like thy counsel; well hast thou advis'd;
And that thou mayst perceive how well I like it; The execution of it shall
make known: Even with the speediest expedition I will dispatch him to the
Emperor's court。 PANTHINO。 To…morrow; 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
And… in good time!… now will we break with him。 PROTEUS。 Sweet
love! sweet lines! sweet life! Here is her hand; the agent of her heart; Here
is her oath for love; her honour'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; Deliver'd 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…belov'd And
daily graced by the Emperor; Wishing me with him; partner of his fortune。
ANTONIO。 And how stand you affected to his wish? 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
resolv'd 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。 To…morrow 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; to…morrow thou must go。 Come
on; Panthino; you shall be employ'd To hasten on his expedition。 Exeunt
ANTONIO and PANTHINO PROTEUS。 Thus have I shunn'd the fire for
fear of burning; And drench'd me in the sea; where I am drown'd。 I fear'd
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 an by a
cloud takes all away!
Re…enter PANTHINO
PANTHINO。 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; And yet a thousand times it answers 'No。' Exeunt

THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA
SCENE I。 Milan。 The DUKE'S palace
Enter VALENTINE and SPEED
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; Silvia! Silvia! SPEED。 'Calling' Madam Silvia! Madam Silvia!
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 Silvia? 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 learn'd; like Sir Proteus; to wreath your
arms like a malcontent; to relish a love…song; like a robin redbreast; to
walk alone; like one that had the pestilence; to sigh; like a school…boy that
had lost his A B C; 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 walk'd; to walk like one
of the lions; when you fasted; it was presently after dinner; when you
look'd sadly; it was for want of money。 And now you are metamorphis'd
with a mistress; that; when I look on you; I can hardly think you my
master。 VALENTINE。 Are all these things perceiv'd in me? SPEED。 They
are all perceiv'd without ye。 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 Silvia? SPEED。 She
that you gaze on so; as she sits at supper? VALENTINE。 Hast thou
observ'd 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…favour'd; sir? VALENTINE。 Not so fair;
13

THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA
boy; as well…favour'd。 SPEED。 Sir; I know that well enough。 VALENTINE。
What dost thou know? SPEED。 That she is not so fair as; of you; well…
favour'd。 VALENTINE。 I mean that her beauty is exquisite; but her favour
infinite。 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 deform'd。 VALENTINE。 How long hath
she been deform'd? SPEED。 Ever since you lov'd her。 VALENTINE。 I
have lov'd 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 ungarter'd!
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 swing'd 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 enjoin'd me to write some lines to one she loves。 SPEED。 And
have you? VALENTINE。 I have。 SPEED。 Are they not lamely writ?
VALENTINE。 No; boy; but as well as I can do them。
Enter SILVIA
Peace! here she comes。 SPEED。 'Aside' O excellent motion! O
exceeding puppet! Now will he interpret to her。 VA
