Enter EGLAMOUR. | |
| Egl. 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. | 5 |
| 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. | 10 |
| Lady, a happy evening! | |
| Sil. Amen, amen! go on, good Eglamour, | |
| Out at the postern by the abbey-wall. | |
| I fear I am attended by some spies. | |
| Egl. Fear not: the forest is not three leagues off; | 15 |
| If we recover that, we’re sure enough. [Exeunt. | | | |
