The Two Gentlemen Of Verona

1 Enter Proteus and Julia.
2 PROTEUS.
3 Have patience, gentle Julia.
4 JULIA.
5 I must, where is no remedy.
6 PROTEUS.
7 When possibly I can, I will return.
8 JULIA.
9 If you turn not, you will return the sooner.
10 Keep this remembrance for thy Julia’s sake.
11 [_Gives him a ring._]
12 PROTEUS.
13 Why, then we’ll make exchange. Here, take you this.
14 [_Gives her a ring._]
15 JULIA.
16 And seal the bargain with a holy kiss.
17 PROTEUS.
18 Here is my hand for my true constancy.
19 And when that hour o’erslips me in the day
20 Wherein I sigh not, Julia, for thy sake,
21 The next ensuing hour some foul mischance
22 Torment me for my love’s forgetfulness.
23 My father stays my coming; answer not.
24 The tide is now—nay, not thy tide of tears,
25 That tide will stay me longer than I should.
26 Julia, farewell.
27 [_Exit Julia._]
28 What, gone without a word?
29 Ay, so true love should do. It cannot speak,
30 For truth hath better deeds than words to grace it.
31 Enter Pantino.
32 PANTINO.
33 Sir Proteus, you are stayed for.
34 PROTEUS.
35 Go, I come, I come.
36 Alas, this parting strikes poor lovers dumb.
37 [_Exeunt._]
