PROT EUS                                            [Exit Launce]

 Go get thee hence and find my dog again,
 Or ne’er return again into my sight.
 Away, I say! Stayest thou to vex me here?

 A slave that still an end turns me to shame!
 Sebastian, I have entertainèd thee, [60]
 Partly that I have need of such a youth
 That can with some discretion do my business,
 For ’tis no trusting to yond foolish lout;
 But chiefly for thy face and thy behaviour,
 Which, if my augury deceive me not, [65]
 Witness good bringing up, fortune, and truth;
 Therefore, know thou, for this I entertain thee.
 Go presently, and take this ring with thee,
 Deliver it to Madam Silvia -
 She loved me well delivered it to me. [70]

JULIA

 It seems you loved not her, to leave her token.
 She is dead, belike?

PROT EUS

            Not so; I think she lives.

     JULIA

Alas!

PROT EUS

 Why dost thou cry “Alas”?

JULIA

                I cannot choose
 But pity her.

PROT EUS

            Wherefore shouldst thou pity her? [75]

JULIA

 Because methinks that she loved you as well
