    Two Gentlemen of Verona (Modern)

    5.3.
    2100 [Enter] Silvia [and] outlaws.
    1 Outlaw
    Come, come be patient. We must bring you to our captain.
    Silvia
    A thousand more mischances than this one
    Have learned me how to brook this patiently.
    21052 Outlaw
    Come, bring her away.
    1 Outlaw
    Where is the Gentleman that was with her?
    3 Outlaw
    Being nimble footed, he hath outrun us;
    But Moises and Valerius follow him.
    Go thou with her to the west end of the wood;
    2110There is our captain. We'll follow him that's fled.
    The thicket is beset; he cannot scape.
    [Exit Second and Third Outlaws.]
    1 Outlaw
    Come, I must bring you to our captain's cave.
    Fear not. He bears an honorable mind
    And will not use a woman lawlessly.
    2115Silvia
    O Valentine, this I endure for thee.
    Exeunt.
