Act II.
Scene II.
Scene II.—Verona. A Room in JULIA'S House.
Enter PROTEUS and JULIA.
Pro. Have patience, gentle Julia.
Jul. I must, where is no remedy.
Pro. When possibly I can, I will return.
Jul. If you turn Hot, you will return the
sooner.
Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake.
[Gives him a ring.
Pro. Why, then, we'll make exchange: here,
take you this. [Gives her another.
Jul. And seal the bargain with a holy kiss.
Pro. Here is my hand for my true constancy;
And when that hour o'erslips me in the day
Wherein I sigh not, Julia, for thy sake,
The next ensuing hour some foul mischance
Torment me for my love's forgetfulness!
My father stays my coming; answer not.
The tide is now: nay, not thy tide of tears;
That tide will stay me longer than I should.
Julia, farewell. [Exit JULIA.
What! gone without a word?
Ay, so true love should do: it cannot speak;
For truth hath better deeds than words to
grace it.
Enter PANTHINO.
Pant. Sir Proteus, you are stay'd for.
Pro. Go; I come, I come.
Alas! this parting strikes poor lovers dumb.
[Exeunt.
