I cannot now prove constant to myself,

Without some treachery used to Valentine.

This night he meaneth with a corded ladder

To climb celestial Silvia’s chamber-window;

35 Myself in [counsel], his competitor.

Now presently I’ll give her father notice

Of their disguising and [pretended] flight;

Who, all enraged, will banish Valentine;

For Thurio, he intends, shall wed his daughter;

40 But, Valentine being gone, I’ll quickly cross
