Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Proteus

12

Wilt thou be gone? Sweet Valentine, adieu!
Think on thy Proteus, when thou haply seest
Some rare note-worthy object in thy travel:
Wish me partaker in thy happiness
When thou dost meet good hap; and in thy danger,
If ever danger do environ thee,
Commend thy grievance to my holy prayers,
For I will be thy beadsman, Valentine.

Valentine

20

And on a love-book pray for my success?

3

Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Proteus

21

Upon some book I love I'll pray for thee.

Proteus

24

That's a deep story of a deeper love:
For he was more than over shoes in love.

5

Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Valentine

26

'Tis true; for you are over boots in love,
And yet you never swum the Hellespont.

6

Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Valentine

29

No, I will not, for it boots thee not.

7

Valentine

41

Love is your master, for he masters you:
And he that is so yoked by a fool,
Methinks, should not be chronicled for wise.

Proteus

66

He after honour hunts, I after love:
He leaves his friends to dignify them more,
I leave myself, my friends and all, for love.
Thou, Julia, thou hast metamorphosed me,
Made me neglect my studies, lose my time,
War with good counsel, set the world at nought;
Made wit with musing weak, heart sick with thought.

But now he parted hence, to embark for Milan.

Proteus

92

The sheep for fodder follow the shepherd; the
shepherd for food follows not the sheep: thou for
wages followest thy master; thy master for wages
follows not thee: therefore thou art a sheep.

Ay sir: I, a lost mutton, gave your letter to her,
a laced mutton, and she, a laced mutton, gave me, a
lost mutton, nothing for my labour.

12

Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Proteus

101

Here's too small a pasture for such store of muttons.

13

Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Speed

104

Nay, sir, less than a pound shall serve me for
carrying your letter.

14

Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Speed

107

From a pound to a pin? fold it over and over,
'Tis threefold too little for carrying a letter to
your lover.

15

Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Speed

116

Now you have taken the pains to set it together,
take it for your pains.

16

Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Proteus

118

No, no; you shall have it for bearing the letter.

17

Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Speed

121

Marry, sir, the letter, very orderly; having nothing
but the word 'noddy' for my pains.

18

Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Proteus

128

Well, sir, here is for your pains. What said she?

19

Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Speed

131

Sir, I could perceive nothing at all from her; no,
not so much as a ducat for delivering your letter:
and being so hard to me that brought your mind, I
fear she'll prove as hard to you in telling your
mind. Give her no token but stones; for she's as
hard as steel.

20

Two Gentlemen of Verona
[I, 1]

Speed

138

No, not so much as 'Take this for thy pains.' To
testify your bounty, I thank you, you have testerned
me; in requital whereof, henceforth carry your
letters yourself: and so, sir, I'll commend you to my master.
