_Enter PROTEUS and JULIA._
_Pro._ Have patience, gentle Julia.
_Jul._ I must, where is no remedy.
_Pro._ When possibly I can, I will return.
_Jul._ If you turn not, you will return the sooner.
Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. 5
[_Giving a ring._
_Pro._ Why, then, we'll make exchange; here, take you this.
_Jul._ And seal the bargain with a holy kiss.
_Pro._ 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, 10
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. 15
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._
_Pan._ Sir Proteus, you are stay'd for.
_Pro._ Go; I come, I come. 20
Alas! this parting strikes poor lovers dumb. [_Exeunt._
