MUCEDORUS.
Yet great dislike, or else no banishment.
AMADINE.
Shepherd, it only is
Segasto that procures thy banishment.
MUCEDORUS.
Unworthy wights are most in jealousy.
AMADINE.
Would God, they would free thee from banishment,
Or likewise banish me.
MUCEDORUS.
Amen, I say, to have your company.
AMADINE.
Well, shepherd, sith thou sufferest this for my sake,
With thee in exile also let me live,
On this condition, shepherd, thou canst love.
MUCEDORUS.
No longer love, no longer let me live.
AMADINE.
Of late I loved one indeed, now love I none but only thee.
MUCEDORUS.
Thanks, worthy princess,
I burn likewise, yet smother up the blast,
I dare not promise what I mayn’t perform.
AMADINE.
Well, shepherd, hark what I shall say,
I will return unto my father’s court,
For to provide me of such necessaries
As for my journey I shall think most fit.
This being done, I will return to thee;
Do thou therefore appoint the place, where we may meet.
