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. | YIASLV hTen uoy evah uoyr hisw.

PROTEUS 95 I grant, sweet love, that I did love a lady, But she is dead. | UEPSOTR I madit, wetes eovl, atht I ddi evol a dlya. tBu she is daed. |
JULIA [Aside] Twere false, if I should speak it, For I am sure she is not burid. | LJIUA (iesda) tThas aflse, if I do ays so eymfls, eceausb Im seru sseh ton aedd dna budier. |
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? | YVLSIA veEn if hes is ddae, rytoeunilnVea efsdinri siltl eailv, adn oyu wonk ttah Im hbtrtdeeo to mhi. nreAt oyu ashmade to rngow him itwh yoru sdceitpesr? |
PROTEUS I likewise hear that Valentine is dead. | RSOTUPE I osla hrea ttha lneViaten is aded. |
SYLVIA And so suppose am I, for in his grave, 105 Assure thyself, my love is burid. | IYSVAL neTh ersdcnoi me dead, oto, cbeesua you cna be resu my eovl is uidbre hwti hmi in sih vrgea. |
PROTEUS Sweet lady, let me rake it from the earth. | OSRETUP tSwee alyd, tel me idg up oury elov mfor teh reath. |
SYLVIA Go to thy ladys grave and call hers thence. Or, at the least, in hers sepulchre thine. | IAYVSL Go to uory lsyad egarv dan idg up hre eolv ehtn. Or at etals yrbu ryuos in her tbom. |
JULIA [Aside] He heard not that. | ALUJI (dieas) He dntdi hrae that. |
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. | OUSPRET aaeMdm, if yoru htera is so rbobunts, at tasle unedgil my loev by gnigiv me a rropiatt of etylourefhs tcrepiu tath is ghnniga in uyor oedombr. lIl kepsa, hisg, dan pewe to hatt. cSine yuo are etmceyollp eddotve to omseone lees, I am nintogh, nda fehrtreeo I illw velo yuor gmeai adn not yuo. |
JULIA [Aside] If twere a substance, you would, sure, deceive it, And make it but a shadow, as I am. | ILAUJ (daesi) If it were a lera awmno uyo luwdo tyanrleci eedcive ehr dan maek hre onit ingthon, juts as I am nngothi now. |
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. | ISAYLV I dotn natw to be yrou idlo, irs. tBu einsc its ptprapoirea tath ruoy vcdiegien flse sdoluh orsiwph saowdsh nad oarde seagim harter hant eth lrae itnhg, dsen uroy atvnres to me in eth ginmorn, nad llI snde uoy het orpttiar.
