[To the audience] This is the air, that is the glorious sun,

4.3.22116[Indicating the pearl] This pearl she gave me, I do feel't, and see't,

4.3.32117And though 'tis wonder that enwraps me thus,

4.3.42118Yet 'tis not madness. Where's Antonio then?

4.3.52119I could not find him at the Elephant,

4.3.62120Yet there he was, and there I found this credit,

4.3.72121That he did range the town to seek me out.

4.3.82122His counsel now might do me golden service,

4.3.92123For though my soul disputes well (with my sense)

4.3.102124That this may be some error, but no madness,

4.3.112125Yet doth this accident and flood of fortune

4.3.122126So far exceed all instance, all discourse,

4.3.132127That I am ready to distrust mine eyes,

4.3.142128And wrangle with my reason that persuades me

4.3.152129To any other trust but that I am mad,

4.3.162130Or else the lady's mad. Yet if 'twere so,

4.3.172131She could not sway her house, command her followers,

4.3.182132Take and give back affairs and their dispatch,

4.3.192133With such a smooth, discreet, and stable bearing

4.3.202134As I perceive she does. There's something in't

4.3.212135That is deceivable.

That is deceivable. But here the lady comes.

Blame not this haste of mine. If you mean well,

4.3.232138Now go with me, and with this holy man,

4.3.242139Into the chantry by; there before him,

4.3.252140And underneath that consecrated roof,

4.3.262141Plight me the full assurance of your faith,

4.3.272142That my most jealous and too doubtful soul

4.3.282143May live at peace. He shall conceal it,

4.3.292144Whiles you are willing it shall come to note

4.3.302145What time we will our celebration keep

4.3.312146According to my birth. What do you say?

I'll follow this good man, and go with you,

4.3.332148And having sworn truth, ever will be true.

Then lead the way, good father, and heavens so shine

2150That they may fairly note this act of mine.
