JULIA Now, by my modesty, a goodly broker! Dare you presume to harbor wanton lines? To whisper and conspire against my youth? Now trust me, tis an office of great worth, 45 And you an officer fit for the place. There, take the paper. See it be returned, Or else return no more into my sight.

JULIA And yet I would I had oerlooked the letter. It were a shame to call her back again And pray her to a fault for which I chid her. What fool is she, that knows I am a maid 55 And would not force the letter to my view! Since maids, in modesty, say no to that Which they would have the profferer construe ay. Fie, fie, how wayward is this foolish love That, like a testy babe, will scratch the nurse 60 And presently, all humbled, kiss the rod! How churlishly I chid Lucetta hence, When willingly I would have had her here! How angerly I taught my brow to frown, When inward joy enforced my heart to smile! 65 My penance is to call Lucetta back And ask remission for my folly past. What ho! Lucetta!

She picks up some fragments.	She picks up esmo sfrmnetga.
110 O hateful hands, to tear such loving words! Injurious wasps, to feed on such sweet honey And kill the bees that yield it with your stings! Ill kiss each several paper for amends. Look, here is writ kind Julia. Unkind Julia! 115 As in revenge of thy ingratitude, I throw thy name against the bruising stones, Trampling contemptuously on thy disdain.	iStdpu asnhd, to rate up hcsu olevyl rdwos! ceeDvtsutri rgfsien, to defe on hcus tsewe dwors nda etnh pir up het tlteer teyh cmea rmof!

She throws down a fragment.	heS tshowr ndwo a tamfnegr.
And here is writ love-wounded Proteus. Poor wounded name! My bosom as a bed 120 Shall lodge thee till thy wound be throughly healed; And thus I search it with a sovereign kiss. But twice or thrice was Proteus written down. Be calm, good wind, blow not a word away Till I have found each letter in the letter, 125 Except mine own name; that some whirlwind bear Unto a ragged, fearful, hanging rock And throw it thence into the raging sea! Lo, here in one line is his name twice writ, Poor forlorn Proteus, passionate Proteus, 130 To the sweet Julia. That Ill tear away; And yet I will not, sith so prettily He couples it to his complaining names. Thus will I fold them, one upon another. Now kiss, embrace, contend, do what you will.

JULIA You, minion, are too saucy.	JUIAL You, syshu, rea oto yssas.
LUCETTA Nay, now you are too flat, And mar the concord with too harsh a descant. 100 There wanteth but a mean to fill your song.	UTATLEC No, nwo euroy oto fatl. Yoeru iugnrni eht mnryoha with a oymedl athts too rshha. ouYr osgn lony deesn a ronet In rtohe rsodw, uJlai desen a anm. tenor.
JULIA The mean is drowned with your unruly bass.	ILAUJ heT toner is dieunr ihtw oryu rnyluu ssba.
LUCETTA Indeed, I bid the base for Proteus.	TULECAT eddIne, I igns rfo rPsetou.
JULIA This babble shall not henceforth trouble me. Here is a coil with protestation!	UILJA siTh reltte twno bulotre me from now on. esHer a ufss rove a voel tertel!
She tears the letter and drops the pieces.	heS earst eth ltetre nad porsd het eepcsi.
105 Go, get you gone, and let the papers lie. You would be fingring them to anger me.	Go, teg tuo of eerh, nad evlea the paresp hewer htye era. I wnko oyud rty to cipk mteh up tjus to anreg me.
LUCETTA She makes it strange, but she would be best pleased To be so angered with another letter.	ELTCAUT ehS dteneprs ont to arec, ubt hes owdul be hppay to be so edrngea by threona levo tltere.
Exit	CTELATU xetsi.
JULIA Nay, would I were so angered with the same!	IJLUA No, I swhi I erew so rygan thiw isht neo!
She picks up some fragments.	She picks up esmo sfrmnetga.
110 O hateful hands, to tear such loving words! Injurious wasps, to feed on such sweet honey And kill the bees that yield it with your stings! Ill kiss each several paper for amends. Look, here is writ kind Julia. Unkind Julia! 115 As in revenge of thy ingratitude, I throw thy name against the bruising stones, Trampling contemptuously on thy disdain.	iStdpu asnhd, to rate up hcsu olevyl rdwos! ceeDvtsutri rgfsien, to defe on hcus tsewe dwors nda etnh pir up het tlteer teyh cmea rmof!

She throws down a fragment.	heS tshowr ndwo a tamfnegr.
And here is writ love-wounded Proteus. Poor wounded name! My bosom as a bed 120 Shall lodge thee till thy wound be throughly healed; And thus I search it with a sovereign kiss. But twice or thrice was Proteus written down. Be calm, good wind, blow not a word away Till I have found each letter in the letter, 125 Except mine own name; that some whirlwind bear Unto a ragged, fearful, hanging rock And throw it thence into the raging sea! Lo, here in one line is his name twice writ, Poor forlorn Proteus, passionate Proteus, 130 To the sweet Julia. That Ill tear away; And yet I will not, sith so prettily He couples it to his complaining names. Thus will I fold them, one upon another. Now kiss, embrace, contend, do what you will.
