| ACT V 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, | 5 |
| | 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, | 10 |
| | 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 | |
