_Pan._ Sir Proteus, your father calls for you:
He is in haste; therefore, I pray you, go.
_Pro._ Why, this it is: my heart accords thereto, 90
And yet a thousand times it answers 'no.' [_Exeunt._

ACT II.
SCENE I. _Milan. The DUKE'S Palace._
_Enter VALENTINE and SPEED._
_Speed._ Sir, your glove.
_Val._ Not mine; my gloves are on.
_Speed._ Why, then, this may be yours, for this is but one.
_Val._ Ha! let me see: ay, give it me, it's mine:
Sweet ornament that decks a thing divine!
Ah, Silvia, Silvia! 5
_Speed._ Madam Silvia! Madam Silvia!
_Val._ How now, sirrah?
_Speed._ She is not within hearing, sir.
_Val._ Why, sir, who bade you call her?
_Speed._ Your worship, sir; or else I mistook. 10
_Val._ Well, you'll still be too forward.
_Speed._ And yet I was last chidden for being too slow.
_Val._ Go to, sir: tell me, do you know Madam Silvia?
_Speed._ She that your worship loves?
_Val._ Why, how know you that I am in love? 15
_Speed._ Marry, by these special marks: first, you have
learned, like Sir Proteus, to wreathe your arms, like a malecontent;
to relish a love-song, like a robin-redbreast; to
walk alone, like one that had the pestilence; to sigh, like a
school-boy that had lost his A B C; to weep, like a young 20
wench that had buried her grandam; to fast, like one that
takes diet; to watch, like one that fears robbing; to speak
puling, like a beggar at Hallowmas. You were wont, when
you laughed, to crow like a cock; when you walked, to walk
like one of the lions; when you fasted, it was presently after 25
dinner; when you looked sadly, it was for want of money:
and now you are metamorphosed with a mistress, that, when
I look on you, I can hardly think you my master.
_Val._ Are all these things perceived in me?
_Speed._ They are all perceived without ye. 30
_Val._ Without me? they cannot.
