SCENE I. VERONA. AN OPEN PLACE
[Enter VALENTINE and PROTEUS.]
VALENTINE.
Cease to persuade, my loving Proteus:
Home-keeping youth have ever
homely wits.
Were't not affection chains thy tender days
To the sweet glances of thy honour'd love,
I rather would
entreat thy company
To see the wonders of the world abroad,
Than, living
dully sluggardiz'd at home,
Wear out thy youth with
shapeless idleness.
But since thou lov'st, love still, and
thrive therein,
Even as I would, when I to love begin.
PROTEUS.
Wilt thou be gone? Sweet Valentine, adieu!
Think on thy Proteus, when thou
haply seest
Some rare noteworthy object in thy travel:
Wish me
partaker in thy happiness
