Act V, Scene 1
Milan. An abbey.
- Enter Eglamour.
Eglamour
1 - 8- The sun begins to gild the western sky,
- And now it is about the very hour
- That Silvia at Friar Patrick’s cell should meet me.
- She will not fail, for lovers break not hours,
- Unless it be to come before their time,
- So much they spur their expedition.
- See where she comes.
- Enter Silvia.
- Lady, a happy evening!
Silvia
9 - 11- Amen, amen! Go on, good Eglamour,
- Out at the postern by the abbey wall;
- I fear I am attended by some spies.
Eglamour
12 - 13- Fear not: the forest is not three leagues off;
- If we recover that, we are sure enough.
- Exeunt.
Go on, good Eglamour, out at the postern by the abbey wall
