Verona. A Room in 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.
	Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake.
												[Giving him a ring.

Proteus	Why, then we'll make exchange. Here, take you this.
												[Giving her a ring.
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
	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,
	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	Sir Proteus, you are stayed for.

Proteus										Go; I come, I come.
	Alas, this parting strikes poor lovers dumb.
												[Exeunt.
