Ner. But will you not declare how I came hither?
Daph. Ask me not that; but go along with me.
Ner. Stay, shepherd, whither would you have me go?
Daph. Where love and silence shall befriend us best.
Ner. But tell me, Daphnis, was not I once dead?
Daph. You were; but I, your servant, chang'd that death
Into a sleep.
Ner. I know not what you mean:
Can you change death into a sleep?
Daph. I can,
And did for love of you.
Ner. This is a riddle:
Pray let me know what you do mean by it?
Daph. Come with me, and you shall.
