Two Gentlemen of Verona

Act 5, Scene 1

SCENE I. Milan. An abbey.

    Enter EGLAMOUR

EGLAMOUR

    The sun begins to gild the western sky;
    And now it is about the very hour
    That Silvia, at Friar Patrick's cell, should meet me.
    She will not fail, for lovers break not hours,
    Unless it be to come before their time;
    So much they spur their expedition.
    See where she comes.

    Enter SILVIA
    Lady, a happy evening!

SILVIA

    Amen, amen! Go on, good Eglamour,
    Out at the postern by the abbey-wall:
    I fear I am attended by some spies.

EGLAMOUR

    Fear not: the forest is not three leagues off;
    If we recover that, we are sure enough.

    Exeunt
