Act II   ACT II: SCENE II Verona. JULIA'S house. Enter PROTEUS and JULIA PROTEUS Have patience, gentle Julia. JULIA I must, where is no remedy. PROTEUS When possibly I can, I will return. JULIA If you turn not, you will return the sooner. Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. Giving a ring PROTEUS Why then, we'll make exchange; here, take you this. JULIA And seal the bargain with a holy kiss. PROTEUS Here is my hand for my true constancy; And when that hour o'erslips me in the day Wherein I sigh not, Julia, for thy sake, The next ensuing hour some foul mischance Torment me for my love's forgetfulness! My father stays my coming; answer not; The tide is now: nay, not thy tide of tears; That tide will stay me longer than I should. Julia, farewell! Exit JULIA What, gone without a word? Ay, so true love should do: it cannot speak; For truth hath better deeds than words to grace it. Enter PANTHINO PANTHINO Sir Proteus, you are stay'd for. PROTEUS Go; I come, I come. Alas! this parting strikes poor lovers dumb. Exeunt
