The Two Gentlemen of Verona

Act V

Scene I

William Shakespeare


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
