Lys. Thou canst compel no more than she entreat:

[250] Thy threats have no more strength than her weak prayers.

Helen, I love thee; by my life, I do:

I swear by that which I will lose for thee,

To prove him false that says I love thee not.

Dem. I say I love thee more than he can do.

255 Lys. If thou say so, withdraw, and prove it too.

Dem. Quick, come!

Her.

Lysander, whereto tends all this?
