JULIA

What thinkest thou of the gentle Proteus?

LUCET T A

Lord, lord, to see what folly reigns in us! [15]

JULIA

How now, what means this passion at his name?

LUCET T A

Pardon, dear madam; ’tis a passing shame
That I, unworthy body as I am,
Should censure thus on lovely gentlemen.

JULIA

Why not on Proteus, as of all the rest? [20]

LUCET T A

Then thus: of many good, I think him best.

JULIA

Your reason?

LUCET T A

I have no other but a woman’s reason:
I think him so, because I think him so.

JULIA

And wouldst thou have me cast my love on him? [25]

LUCET T A

Ay, if you thought your love not cast away.

JULIA

Why, he, of all the rest, hath never moved me.

LUCET T A

Yet he, of all the rest, I think best loves ye.
