| 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. | 5 |
| | 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 | 10 |
| | 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; | 15 |
| | 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. | 20 |
| | Enter PANTHINO | |
| PANTHINO | Sir Proteus, you are stay'd for. | |
| PROTEUS | Go; I come, I come. | |
| | Alas! this parting strikes poor lovers dumb. | |
| | Exeunt | |
