I have done penance for contemning love; Whofe high imperious thoughts have punish'd me With bitter fafts, with penitential groans; With nightly tears, and daily heart-fore fighs. For, in revenge of my contempt of love, Love hath chac'd fleep from my enthralled eyes, 912 ટાં ટ And made them watchers of mine own heart's sorrow. O gentle Protheus, love's a mighty Lord 25 1 A And hath fo humbled me, as, I confefs, There is no woe to his correction ; Nor to his fervice, no no fuch Joy on earth. (10) Thur. Madam my Lord your father] This speech in all th editions is affign'd improperly to Thurio; but he has been all along upon the ftage, and could not know that the Duke wanted his daughter. Befides, the first line and half of Silvia's answer is evidently addrefs:d to two perfons. A fervant, therefore, must came and deliver the meffage and then Silvia goes out with Thurio.
