1 |
But say, Lucetta, now we are alone,
|
|
2 |
Of all the fair resort of gentlemen
|
|
3 |
What think'st thou of the fair Sir Eglamour? |
|
4 |
What think'st thou of the rich Mercatio? |
|
5 |
What think'st thou of the gentle Proteus? |
|
6 |
How now! what means this passion at his name? |
|
7 |
Why not on Proteus, as of all the rest? |
|
8 |
Your reason? |
|
9 |
And wouldst thou have me cast my love on him? |
|
10 |
Why he, of all the rest, hath never moved me. |
|
11 |
His little speaking shows his love but small. |
|
12 |
They do not love that do not show their love. |
|
13 |
I would I knew his mind. |
|
14 |
'To Julia.' Say, from whom? |
|
15 |
Say, say, who gave it thee? |
|
16 |
Now, by my modesty, a goodly broker!
|
|
17 |
Will ye be gone? |
|
18 |
And yet I would I had o'erlooked the letter:
|
|
19 |
Is't near dinner-time? |
|
20 |
What is't that you took up so gingerly? |
|
21 |
Why didst thou stoop, then? |
|
22 |
And is that paper nothing? |
|
23 |
Then let it lie for those that it concerns. |
|
24 |
Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme. |
|
25 |
As little by such toys as may be possible.
|
|
26 |
Heavy! belike it hath some burden then? |
|
27 |
And why not you? |
|
28 |
Let's see your song. How now, minion! |
|
29 |
You do not? |
|
30 |
You, minion, are too saucy. |
|
31 |
The mean is drown'd with your unruly bass. |
|
32 |
This babble shall not henceforth trouble me.
|
|
33 |
Nay, would I were so anger'd with the same!
|
|
34 |
Well, let us go. |
|
35 |
If you respect them, best to take them up. |
|
36 |
I see you have a month's mind to them. |
|
37 |
Come, come; will't please you go? |
|
38 |
I must, where is no remedy. |
|
39 |
If you turn not, you will return the sooner.
|
|
40 |
And seal the bargain with a holy kiss. |
|
41 |
Counsel, Lucetta; gentle girl, assist me;
|
|
42 |
A true-devoted pilgrim is not weary
|
|
43 |
O, know'st thou not his looks are my soul's food?
|
|
44 |
The more thou damm'st it up, the more it burns.
|
|
45 |
Not like a woman; for I would prevent
|
|
46 |
No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings
|
|
47 |
That fits as well as 'Tell me, good my lord,
|
|
48 |
Out, out, Lucetta! that would be ill-favour'd. |
|
49 |
Lucetta, as thou lovest me, let me have
|
|
50 |
Nay, that I will not. |
|
51 |
That is the least, Lucetta, of my fear:
|
|
52 |
Base men, that use them to so base effect!
|
|
53 |
Now, as thou lovest me, do him not that wrong
|
|
54 |
Marry, mine host, because I cannot be merry. |
|
55 |
But shall I hear him speak? |
|
56 |
That will be music. |
|
57 |
Is he among these? |
|
58 |
You mistake; the musician likes me not. |
|
59 |
He plays false, father. |
|
60 |
Not so; but yet so false that he grieves my very
|
|
61 |
Ay, I would I were deaf; it makes me have a slow heart. |
|
62 |
Not a whit, when it jars so. |
|
63 |
Ay, that change is the spite. |
|
64 |
I would always have one play but one thing.
|
|
65 |
Where is Launce? |
|
66 |
Peace! stand aside: the company parts. |
|
67 |
[Aside] 'Twere false, if I should speak it;
|
|
68 |
[Aside] He heard not that. |
|
69 |
[Aside] If 'twere a substance, you would, sure,
|
|
70 |
Host, will you go? |
|
71 |
Pray you, where lies Sir Proteus? |
|
72 |
Not so; but it hath been the longest night
|
|
73 |
In what you please: I'll do what I can. |
|
74 |
It seems you loved not her, to leave her token.
|
|
75 |
Alas! |
|
76 |
I cannot choose
|
|
77 |
Because methinks that she loved you as well
|
|
78 |
How many women would do such a message?
|
|
79 |
If you be she, I do entreat your patience
|
|
80 |
From my master, Sir Proteus, madam. |
|
81 |
Ay, madam. |
|
82 |
Madam, please you peruse this letter.—
|
|
83 |
It may not be; good madam, pardon me. |
|
84 |
Madam, he sends your ladyship this ring. |
|
85 |
She thanks you. |
|
86 |
I thank you, madam, that you tender her.
|
|
87 |
Almost as well as I do know myself:
|
|
88 |
I think she doth; and that's her cause of sorrow. |
|
89 |
She hath been fairer, madam, than she is:
|
|
90 |
About my stature; for at Pentecost,
|
|
91 |
And she shall thank you for't, if e'er you know her.
|
|
92 |
[Aside] But love will not be spurr'd to what
|
|
93 |
[Aside] 'Tis true; such pearls as put out
|
|
94 |
[Aside] But better, indeed, when you hold your peace. |
|
95 |
[Aside] She needs not, when she knows it cowardice. |
|
96 |
[Aside] True; from a gentleman to a fool. |
|
97 |
[Aside] That such an ass should owe them. |
|
98 |
Here comes the duke. |
|
99 |
And I will follow, more to cross that love
|
|
100 |
[Aside] And me, when he approacheth to your presence. |
|
101 |
O me unhappy! |
|
102 |
O good sir, my master charged me to deliver a ring
|
|
103 |
Here 'tis; this is it. |
|
104 |
O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook:
|
|
105 |
And Julia herself did give it me;
|
|
106 |
Behold her that gave aim to all thy oaths,
|
|
107 |
And I mine. |
