Two Gentlemen of Verona (Modern)

5.1.
2025 Enter Eglamour, Silvia.
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
2030Unless it be to come before their time,
So much they spur their expedition.
[Enter Silvia.]
See where she comes. Lady, a happy evening.
Silvia
Amen, Amen. Go on, good Eglamour.
Out at the postern by the abbey wall;
2035I 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.
