P. 1954
No, we detest such vile base practices. Exeunt.
Come, go with us; we’ll bring thee to our crews,
And show thee all the treasure we have got; [75]
Which, with ourselves, all rest at thy dispose.
Scene II IT
Enter Proteus.
PROT EUS
Already have I been false to Valentine,
And now I must be as unjust to Thurio;
Under the colour of commending him,
I have access my own love to prefer;
But Silvia is too fair, too true, too holy, [5]
To be corrupted with my worthless gifts.
When I protest true loyalty to her,
She twits me with my falsehood to my friend;
When to her beauty I commend my vows,
She bids me think how I have been forsworn [10]
In breaking faith with Julia, whom I loved;
And notwithstanding all her sudden quips,
The least whereof would quell a lover’s hope,
Yet, spaniel-like, the more she spurns my love
The more it grows and fawneth on her still. [15]
[Enter Thurio and Musicians]
But here comes Thurio. Now must we to her window,
And give some evening music to her ear.
T HURIO
How now, Sir Proteus, are you crept before us?
PROT EUS
Ay, gentle Thurio; for you know that love
Will creep in service where it cannot go. [20]
T HURIO
Ay, but I hope, sir, that you love not here.
