If you be she, I do entreat your patience
To hear me speak the message I am sent on.

     SILVIA

From whom? [110]

     JULIA

From my master, Sir Proteus, madam.

     SILVIA

O, he sends you for a picture.

     JULIA

Ay, madam.

SILVIA

 Ursula, bring my picture there.
 Go, give your master this. Tell him from me, [115]
 One Julia, that his changing thoughts forget,
 Would better fit his chamber than this shadow.

JULIA

 Madam, please you peruse this letter -
 Pardon me, madam; I have unadvised
 Delivered you a paper that I should not. [120]
 This is the letter to your ladyship.

SILVIA

 I pray thee let me look on that again.

JULIA

 It may not be; good madam, pardon me.

SILVIA

 There, hold!
 I will not look upon your master’s lines. [125]
 I know they are stuffed with protestations,
 And full of new-found oaths, which he will break
 As easily as I do tear his paper.
