_Hel._ I have, sir, as I was commanded from you, Spoke with the king, and have procured his leave For present parting; only he desires 55 Some private speech with you. _Ber._ I shall obey his will. You must not marvel, Helen, at my course, Which holds not colour with the time, nor does The ministration and required office On my particular. Prepared I was not 60 For such a business; therefore am I found So much unsettled: this drives me to entreat you, That presently you take your way for home, And rather muse than ask why I entreat you; For my respects are better than they seem, 65 And my appointments have in them a need Greater than shows itself at the first view To you that know them not. This to my mother: [_Giving a letter._ 'Twill be two days ere I shall see you; so, I leave you to your wisdom. _Hel._ Sir, I can nothing say, 70 But that I am your most obedient servant. _Ber._ Come, come, no more of that. _Hel._ And ever shall With true observance seek to eke out that Wherein toward me my homely stars have fail'd To equal my great fortune. _Ber._ Let that go: 75 My haste is very great: farewell; hie home. _Hel._ Pray, sir, your pardon. _Ber._ Well, what would you say? _Hel._ I am not worthy of the wealth I owe; Nor dare I say 'tis mine, and yet it is; But, like a timorous thief, most fain would steal 80 What law does vouch mine own. _Ber._ What would you have? _Hel._ Something; and scarce so much: nothing, indeed. I would not tell you what I would, my lord: faith, yes; Strangers and foes do sunder, and not kiss. _Ber._ I pray you, stay not, but in haste to horse. 85 _Hel._ I shall not break your bidding, good my lord. _Ber._ Where are my other men, monsieur? Farewell. [_Exit Helena._ Go thou toward home; where I will never come, Whilst I can shake my sword, or hear the drum. Away, and for our flight. _Par._ Bravely, coragio!
