DUKE.
Why then, she’s fled unto that peasant Valentine,
And Eglamour is in her company.
’Tis true, for Friar Lawrence met them both
As he in penance wandered through the forest;
Him he knew well, and guessed that it was she,
But, being masked, he was not sure of it.
Besides, she did intend confession
At Patrick’s cell this even, and there she was not.
These likelihoods confirm her flight from hence.
Therefore, I pray you, stand not to discourse,
But mount you presently and meet with me
Upon the rising of the mountain foot
That leads toward Mantua, whither they are fled.
Dispatch, sweet gentlemen, and follow me.
[Exit.]
THURIO.
Why, this it is to be a peevish girl
That flies her fortune when it follows her.
I’ll after, more to be revenged on Eglamour
Than for the love of reckless Silvia.
[Exit.]
PROTEUS.
And I will follow, more for Silvia’s love
Than hate of Eglamour that goes with her.
[Exit.]
JULIA.
And I will follow, more to cross that love
Than hate for Silvia, that is gone for love.
[Exit.]
SCENE III. Frontiers of Mantua. The forest
Enter Silvia and Outlaws.
