You have your wish; my will is even this,
     That presently you hie you home to bed. [90]
     Thou subtle, perjured, false, disloyal man,
     Thinkest thou I am so shallow, so conceitless,
     To be seducèd by thy flattery
     That hast deceived so many with thy vows?
     Return, return, and make thy love amends. [95]
     For me - by this pale queen of night I swear -
     I am so far from granting thy request
     That I despise thee for thy wrongful suit;
     And by and by intend to chide myself
     Even for this time I spend in talking to thee. [100]

     PROT EUS

     I grant, sweet love, that I did love a lady,
     But she is dead.

     JULIA

[aside]
                    ’Twere false, if I should speak it;

     For I am sure she is not burièd.

     SILVIA

     Say that she be; yet Valentine thy friend
     Survives, to whom, thyself art witness, [105]
     I am betrothed; and art thou not ashamed
     To wrong him with thy importunacy?

     PROT EUS

     I likewise hear that Valentine is dead.

     SILVIA

     And so suppose am I; for in his grave
     Assure thyself my love is burièd. [110]

     PROT EUS

     Sweet lady, let me rake it from the earth.

     SILVIA

     Go to thy lady’s grave and call hers thence;
