PROTEUS Already have I been false to Valentine, And now I must be as unjust to Thurio. Under the color of commending him, I have access my own love to prefer. 5 But Sylvia is too fair, too true, too holy To be corrupted with my worthless gifts. When I protest true loyalty to her, She twits me with my falsehood to my friend. When to her beauty I commend my vows, 10 She bids me think how I have been forsworn In breaking faith with Julia, whom I loved. And notwithstanding all her sudden quips, The least whereof would quell a lovers hope, Yet, spaniel-like, the more she spurns my love, 15 The more it grows and fawneth on her still.

SYLVIA You have your wish. My will is even this: That presently you hie you home to bed. 85 Thou subtle, perjured, false, disloyal man! Thinkst thou I am so shallow, so conceitless, To be seducd by thy flattery, That hast deceived so many with thy vows? Return, return, and make thy love amends. 90 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. | AVIYSL nheT uyo vaeh oyru wsih.

PROTEUS 95 I grant, sweet love, that I did love a lady, But she is dead. | OSRPETU I admit, tseew elvo, hatt I idd vloe a dlya. But ehs is deda. |
JULIA [Aside] Twere false, if I should speak it, For I am sure she is not burid. | IUAJL (sdiae) sthaT slafe, if I do yas so lmfeys, ceesaub Im sreu ehss nto ddae adn dibreu. |
SYLVIA Say that she be, yet Valentine, thy friend, 100 Survives, to whomthyself art witness I am betrothed. And art thou not ashamed To wrong him with thy importunacy? | IAVSLY eEvn if she is ddea, riuleenyatnVo iedrsfin stlli liave, nda yuo knwo atht Im thdeberto to ihm. nterA uoy adahmes to gwron him hwti oryu tesirsdcep? |

PROTEUS Sweet lady, let me rake it from the earth. | RTSPOEU eStwe aydl, lte me gdi up oryu veol ofmr eth aethr. |

JULIA [Aside] He heard not that. | JUAIL (dsaie) He ndtid rhae thta. |
PROTEUS 110 Madam, if your heart be so obdurate, Vouchsafe me yet your picture for my love, The picture that is hanging in your chamber. To that Ill speak, to that Ill sigh and weep; For, since the substance of your perfect self 115 Is else devoted, I am but a shadow, And to your shadow will I make true love. | OESTPRU eamaMd, if oryu tearh is so brstnubo, at steal elgindu my velo by iivggn me a tapirtro of ylefthrusoe ruieptc taht is inhggna in yrou rembodo. lIl kaeps, ighs, nad pwee to ttah.

JULIA [Aside] If twere a substance, you would, sure, deceive it, And make it but a shadow, as I am. | IUALJ (edasi) If it eerw a earl anowm yuo duwol icaletnry eeievcd ehr adn eamk her tnio nhtinog, tsuj as I am gotinhn onw. |
SYLVIA I am very loath to be your idol, sir. 120 But since your falsehood shall become you well To worship shadows and adore false shapes, Send to me in the morning, and Ill send it. And so, good rest. | LSVAIY I dtno tanw to be oruy diol, isr.
