_Sil._ O Eglamour, thou art a gentleman,-- Think not I flatter, for I swear I do not,-- Valiant, wise, remorseful, well accomplish'd: Thou art not ignorant what dear good will I bear unto the banish'd Valentine; 15 Nor how my father would enforce me marry Vain Thurio, whom my very soul abhors. Thyself hast loved; and I have heard thee say No grief did ever come so near thy heart As when thy lady and thy true love died, 20 Upon whose grave thou vow'dst pure chastity. Sir Eglamour, I would to Valentine, To Mantua, where I hear he makes abode; And, for the ways are dangerous to pass, I do desire thy worthy company, 25 Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Urge not my father's anger, Eglamour, But think upon my grief, a lady's grief, And on the justice of my flying hence, To keep me from a most unholy match, 30 Which heaven and fortune still rewards with plagues. I do desire thee, even from a heart As full of sorrows as the sea of sands, To bear me company, and go with me: If not, to hide what I have said to thee, 35 That I may venture to depart alone. _Egl._ Madam, I pity much your grievances; Which since I know they virtuously are placed, I give consent to go along with you; Recking as little what betideth me 40 As much I wish all good befortune you. When will you go? _Sil._ This evening coming. _Egl._ Where shall I meet you? _Sil._ At Friar Patrick's cell, Where I intend holy confession. _Egl._ I will not fail your ladyship. Good morrow, 45 gentle lady. _Sil._ Good morrow, kind Sir Eglamour. [_Exeunt severally._ Notes: IV, 3. SCENE III.] SCENE V. Pope. Dyce makes no new scene here.
