VALENT INE

 Why, lady, Love hath twenty pair of eyes.

T HURIO

 They say that Love hath not an eye at all.

VALENT INE

 To see such lovers, Thurio, as yourself; [95]
 Upon a homely object Love can wink.

                                      [Enter Proteus]

SILVIA

 Have done, have done; here comes the gentleman.

VALENT INE

 Welcome, dear Proteus! Mistress, I beseech you
 Confirm his welcome with some special favour.

SILVIA

 His worth is warrant for his welcome hither, [100]
 If this be he you oft have wished to hear from.

VALENT INE

 Mistress, it is. Sweet lady, entertain him
 To be my fellow-servant to your ladyship.

SILVIA

 Too low a mistress for so high a servant.

PROT EUS

 Not so, sweet lady; but too mean a servant [105]
 To have a look of such a worthy mistress.

VALENT INE

 Leave off discourse of disability;
 Sweet lady, entertain him for your servant.

PROT EUS

 My duty will I boast of, nothing else.
