MUCEDORUS.
I linger life, yet wish for speedy death.
AMADINE.
Shepherd!
Although thy banishment already be decreed,
And all against my will, yet Amadine—
MUCEDORUS.
Ah, Amadine, to hear of banishment is death,
Ay, double death to me, but since I must depart,
One thing I crave—
AMADINE.
Say on, with all my heart.
MUCEDORUS.
That in my absence, either far or near,
You honour me as servant to your name.
AMADINE.
Not so.
MUCEDORUS.
And why?
AMADINE.
I honour thee as sovereign of my heart.
MUCEDORUS.
A shepherd and a sovereign nothing like.
AMADINE.
Yet like enough, where there is no dislike.
