SCENE II. Verona. JULIA'S house.
Enter PROTEUS and JULIA
PROTEUS
      Have patience, gentle Julia.
JULIA
      I must, where is no remedy.
PROTEUS
      When possibly I can, I will return.
JULIA
      If you turn not, you will return the sooner.
5     Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake.
Giving a ring
PROTEUS
      Why then, we'll make exchange; here, take you this.
JULIA
      And seal the bargain with a holy kiss.
PROTEUS
      Here is my hand for my true constancy;
      And when that hour o'erslips me in the day
10    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;
15    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
PANTHINO
20    Sir Proteus, you are stay'd for.
PROTEUS
      Go; I come, I come.
      Alas! this parting strikes poor lovers dumb.
Exeunt
