Enter VALENTINE and PROTEUS.

Val. Cease to persuade, my loving Proteus! Val. And writers say, As the most forward bud
Home-keeping youth have ever homely wits: Is eaten by the canker, ere it blow,
Wer't not, affection chains thy tender days

Even so by love the young and tender wit
To the sweet glances of thy honour'd love,

Is turn'd to folly; blasting in the bud, I rather would entreat thy company,

Losing his verdure even in the prime, To see the wonders of the world abroad,

And all the fair effects of future hopes. Than, living dully sluggardiz’d at home,

But wherefore waste I time to counsel thee,
Wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness.

That art a votary to fond desire?
But, since thou lov'st, love still, and thrive therein, Once more adieu ! my father at the road
Even as I would, when I to love begin.

Pro. Wilt thou be gone? Sweet Ďalentine, adieu ! Pro. And thither will I bring thee, Valentine.
Think on thy Proteus, when thou, haply, seest Val. Sweet Protens, no! now let us take our leave.
Some rare note-worthy object in thy travel !

At Milan, let me hear from thee by letters,
Wish me partaker in thy happiness,

Of thy success in love, and what news else
When thou dost meet good hap; and in thy danger, Betideth here, in absence of thy friend;
If ever danger do environ thee,

And I likewise will visit thee with minc.
Commend thy grievance to my holy prayers!

Pro. All happiness bechance to thee in Milan! For I will be thy bead's-man, Valentine !

Val. As much to you at home! and so, farewell ! Val. And on a love-book pray for my success!

[Exit Valentine, Pro. Upon some book, I'll love, I'll pray for thee. Pro. He after honour hunts, I after love;

Val. That's on some shallow story of deep love, He leaves his friends, to dignify them more;
How young Leander crossid the Hellespont.

I leave myself, my friends, and all for love.
Pro. That's a deep story of a deeper love;

Thou, Julia, thou hast metamorphos'd me,
For he was more than over shoes in love.

Val. 'Tis true; for you are over boots in love, War with good counsel, set the world at nought;
And yet you never swom the Hellespont.

Some, to the wars, to try their fortune there;
Luc. It is too heavy for so light a tune.

Some, to discover islands far away; Jul. Heavy? belike, it hath some burden then. Some, to the studious universities. Luc. Ay; and melodious were it, would you sing it. For any, or for all these exercises, Jul. And why not you?

He said, that Proteus, your son, was meet;
Luc. I cannot reach so high.

And did request me, to impórtane you,'
Jul. Let's see your song ! - How now, minion? To let him spend his time no more at home,
Luc. Keep tune there still, so you will sing it out: Which would be great impeachment to his age,
And yet, methinks, I do not like this tune,

In having known no travel in his youth.
Jul. You do not?

Ant. Nor need'st thou much importune me to that, Luc. No, madam, it is too sharp.

Whereon this month I have been hammering. Jul. You, minion, are too saucy.

I have considered well his loss of time,
Luc. Nay, now you are too flat,

And how he cannot be a perfect man,
And mar the concord with too harsh a descant: Not being try'd and tutor'd in the world:
There wanteth but a mean to fill your song.

Experience is by industry atchiev'd,
Jul. The mean is drown'd with your unruly base. And perfected by the swift course of time:
Luc. Indeed, I bid the base for Proteus.
