Chapter 30 act four

The forest between Milan and Verona Enter some robbers. Bandit A brothers, stop, I see a passerby coming. Even if Thief B comes ten or twenty, don't be afraid, go forward. Enter Valentine and Speed. Thirty Thief Stop, man, drop your stuff; if there's a half word, we'll grab it. Master Speed, we're done for this time; they're the sort of fellows the traveler fears the most. Friends of Valentine— Bandit A you are wrong, man, we are your enemies. Pirate B don't shout, listen to what he has to say. Pirate C is all right, we'll hear what he has to say, because he still looks like a nice guy.

I will tell you all, Valentine, that I am a wretched man, having nothing but this dress.If you must make me take off my clothes, it will be tantamount to taking away all my property. Pirate B where are you going? Valentine goes to Verona. Robber where are you from? Valentine Milan. Pirate C how long have you lived there? Sixteen months Valentine: I should not have left Milan, had bad luck befell me. What about Pirate B, were you expelled by them? Valentine yes. Stealing B for what crime? When Valentine mentioned this incident, it made me very sad.I killed a man, and I regret it now; but luckily I killed him in a fight, and I didn't conspire against him with a trick.

Stealing armor is really like this, so you don't have to regret it.But are they deporting you for such a small mistake? Valentine Yes, I myself have considered it a blessing that they have given me such a sentence. Pirate B, can you speak foreign languages? Valentine I have traveled far in my youth, so I can barely speak a few words, or many times I would have suffered a lot. Thirty Thief, swear by the bald head of that fat priest who's Robin Hood's man, he's a good fellow to call him chief of our gang. Robber, we need to contain him.Brothers, speak a word. Go join them, Master Speed; they're a bright bunch of brigands.

Valentine Don't talk nonsense, dogs! Pirate B tell us, do you have anything to do now? Valentine not, I am now at the mercy of fate. Pirate C, let me tell you the truth, there are quite a few boys from good families in our group, who are rejected by the well-behaved upper class because of their youthful arrogance and misbehavior.I was a Veronian myself, and I was banished because I wanted to take away a noble heir who was a close relative of a duke. Pirate B. In a moment of rage, I stabbed a gentleman to death, and they drove me out of Mantua. Stealing armor, I also committed a petty crime similar to theirs.But let’s not gossip, the reason why we tell you our mistakes is because we have to do this to let people know that we have led a life of crime; People like you who can speak various languages ​​are what we need.

Pirate B And especially since you are also an outcast, we make an exception to consult with you.Would you like to be our leader?If you are poor and in trouble, you can't take shelter here before the beginning. You live in the wilderness just like us! Pirate C, what do you think?Would you like to join us?As long as you agree, we will promote you as the leader, and everyone will obey your orders and respect you as the village master. Robber, but if you don't accept our kindness, then you can't survive. Pirate B, we will never let you go back alive to brag to others. Valentine I will accept your kindness, and be with you all; But I have one condition, That you do not offend ignorant women, nor rob poor travellers.

Pirate C No, we have always refrained from such despicable acts.Come, come with us.We will take you to meet our Hezhai brothers and show you all the gold, silver and treasures we have obtained. Everything is at your disposal, and we are all willing to obey you. (same below.) The second Milan.The Garden of the Duke's Mansion Enter Proteus. Proteus I have been unfaithful to Valentine, Now I must deceive Thurio; I pretended to boast for him, But I made for myself A way of courtship.But Sylvia is too good, too chaste, too holy, to be defiled by my humble gift.When I pledged to her unchanging fidelity, she reproached me for my injustice to my friends; when I pledged my all to her beauty, she reminded me of Julia, deserted by my allies.Every cruel sarcasm of hers Can make a lover's heart weary; But the more she ignores my love, the more I, like a hound, will not let her go.Now Thurio is here; we'll go down to her window, And play her a nocturne.

Enter Thurio and the Musicians. Thurio, Proteus!Have you already sneaked in alone? Proteus Yes, he who runs for love, when he thinks he cannot run fast enough, slips away. Thurio You are right; but I hope your love is not here? Proteus No, my beloved is here, or what am I here for? Thurio who?Silvia? Proteus is Sylvia, whom I love for you. Thurio thank you very much.Now, everyone, tune up your instruments and play hard. Enter the innkeeper, followed by Julia in men's clothing. Innkeeper, my little guest, why are you so sullen, what's on your mind? Julia Uh, boss, that's because I can't be happy.

Come, innkeeper, and I will cheer you up.Let me take you to a place where you can hear music and meet the gentleman you asked about. Julia But can I hear him? Innkeeper Yes, you can hear it too. Julia That's the music. (Music starts.) Innkeeper listen!listen! Julia Is he in it too? Innkeeper Yes; but be quiet, let us listen. Song Sylvia who, Can it reverse the minds of all beings? Divinely beautiful and wise, With all the talents in one body, Let the world recite his name. Yiren's color is as thick as a flower, Yi Renzhai's heart is as soft as spring; Brilliant eyes enlighten blindness,

Create flat devastation complex lovesickness, Keep your heart in your eyes forever. Playing the piano is a song of Yige, The beauty of Yiren is incomparable; The world is depressed and lonely, Wei Yi shines like a star; Wearing flowers as a bouquet to present a beautiful woman. What about the innkeeper, are you even more sad now?What's the matter with you, boy?The music is not to your liking. Julia You're wrong, it's the music player that I'm upset with. Innkeeper Why, my dear boy? Julia Because he played wrong, old man. What about the innkeeper, isn't he playing right?

Julia wasn't, but he tugged at my heartstrings. Innkeeper, you have a pair of bosom ears. Julia!I wish I was deaf; my heart stopped beating when I heard this music. Innkeeper I see you don't like music. I really don't like Julia's harsh music like this. Innkeeper listen!Now it's another good tune. Julia Well, it's the vagaries that annoy me. Innkeeper Then would you rather they always play a tune? Julia I wish a man could play a tune all his life.But, sir, does this Proteus of whom we speak often come to this lady? The Innkeeper I heard his servant Lance tell me that he loves her as much as he loves her.

Where is Julia Lance? The Innkeeper He has gone to find his dog; his master bade him take it to-morrow to his love. Julia, keep quiet, stand back, and the group disperses. Proteus Thurio, don't worry, I will give you a tactful intercession, you see my means. THURIO Where, then, shall we meet? Proteus at St. Gregory's Well. Goodbye, Thurio. (Exit Thurio and the Musicians.) Sylvia appeared from the upper window. Good night, Miss Proteus. SILVIA Thank you for your music, gentlemen.Who is speaking? Miss Proteus, if you knew my pure heart, you would hear my voice. Sylvia is Mister Proteus, isn't she? Proteus is your servant Proteus, my lady. Sylvia, what do you learn by coming here? Proteus, I have come to serve your will. Sylvia Well, I will let you know my will, please go back to sleep quickly.You sinister, treacherous man!You have deceived countless people with your oaths, and now you think I am so easy to be deceived, do you want to use your sweet words to seduce me?Go back quickly and try to atone for your sins against your lover.I swear by this pale moon, your request is something I absolutely don't want to allow; for your unreasonable pursuit, I despise you from the bottom of my heart, now I talk nonsense to you like this, I will hate you later myself. Proteus dear, I admit that I once loved a girl, but she is dead now. Julia (narrator) is talking nonsense, she hasn't been buried yet. SILVIA Let her be dead, and thy friend Valentine live; and thou wilt thyself testify to him I give him heart and soul.Now that you insult me ​​like this, don't you feel ashamed of him? Proteus I hear Valentine is dead too. SILVIA Then count me dead; you may believe my love is buried in his grave. Good lady Proteus, let me dig it out again. Sylvia Go to your love's grave, and bring her to life; Or at least bury your love with her. JULIA (aside) He can't hear that. Miss Proteus, since you are so hard-hearted, please allow me to give me the little portrait of you that hangs in your bedroom, so as to comfort my infatuation.I will speak to it every day, I will sigh and weep to it; for thy great self, who loves others, I am but a shadow, and to your shadow I must give my love. JULIA (aside) If this picture were a real person, you'd surely deceive her one day, and make her a shadow like me. Mr. Silvia, I really don't want to be regarded as an idol by you, but since you are a hypocritical person, it is very suitable for you to let you worship the shadow of hypocrisy.Call someone tomorrow morning and I'll have him bring it to you.Now you can go and have a good rest. Proteus is like wretched men who stay up all night, waiting for their execution in the morning. (Exit Proteus and Sylvia.) Boss Julia, let's go too. O innkeeper, I sleep soundly! Julia Where does Proteus live, please? The innkeeper is in my shop.Ouch, it's almost dawn now. Not yet Julia; but to-night, the longest and hardest night of my life! (same below.) The third game is the same as before Enter Aglermo. EGLEMO This is the hour when Mademoiselle Sylvia asked me to see her, and she sent me on an important errand.Miss!Miss! Sylvia appeared at the window. Who is Silvia? Aiglemo is your servant and friend, at your beck and call. Good morning, Monsieur Silvia Egremer! Egremo Good morning, noble lady!I followed your instructions and came here early in the morning. I don't know what you want me to do? Silvia, Egremo, you are a gentleman, don't think I'm flattering you, I swear I'm telling the truth, you are a brave, wise, compassionate, capable man.You know what love I have for exiled Valentine; and you know my father will compel me to marry proud Thurio, whom I hate.You yourself are in love, and I have heard you say that there is no sorrow that breaks your heart more than the death of your true love, whose grave you have sworn never to marry.Monsieur Eglermo, I will go to Mantua to find Valentine, because I hear he lives there; but I fear the road will be difficult, and I would like you to accompany me, and I have no doubts in your trustworthiness. .Egremo, dissuade me not with my father's wrath; consider my sorrow, a woman's sorrow; and my escape to avoid a marriage most unfit have unfortunate consequences.I beg you from my own heart, filled with sorrows as many as the sands in the sea, to promise to walk with me; and if you will not promise me, then also keep secret what I have told you, Let me venture out alone. Miss Aglermo, I sympathize with your misfortune; I know your intentions are pure, so I am willing to accompany you; happiness.When are you going to leave? Sylvia tonight. Aglermo Where shall I meet you? Sylvia is in Father Bertrick's monastery, and I would like to say a confessional service there first. Aglermo I will never miss my appointment.Goodbye, dear lady. Goodbye Sylvia, good M. Eglermo. (Exit each.) The fourth game is the same as before Enter Lance with the dog. When Lance was unlucky alone, his servants would bite him back like a vicious dog.I fed this beast from childhood; three or four of its brothers and sisters fell to the ground and were drowned before they opened their eyes. I rescued it.I taught it with painstaking care, as they say, teaching a dog is no more than that.My master wanted me to present it to Mademoiselle Sylvia, and I had hardly set my foot in the dining-room door when the mischievous thing jumped on the chopping-block and took the capon's leg.Oh, how bad it is for a dog to behave in front of a crowd without knowing the rules!It stands to reason that if you call yourself a dog, you should be smart like a dog in everything you do.But what about it?If I hadn't been a little smarter than it, and took its faults on myself, it would have been hanged by others.You can judge for me, is it courting death by itself?It was under the duke's dining table with three or four gentleman-looking dogs, and it pissed all at once, filling the room with embarrassment.One guest said, "Where's this mangy dog?" Another said, "Get rid of it! Get rid of it!" A third said, "Whip him out!" The Duke said, "Hang him up!" Die." I was used to the smell of piss, so I knew it was Crabbe's fault, so I ran up to the dog beater and said, "My friend, do you want to beat the dog?" He said, " That’s right.” I said, “Then you’ve wronged it, I’m the one who pissed.” He just beat me up and kicked me out.How many masters in the world are willing to suffer such grievances for his servants?I can swear to God, I have been handcuffed for stealing someone's sausage, otherwise it would have died; Can't escape a beating.You don't remember anything like that now.Why, I remember what a joke you made when I said goodbye to Miss Sylvia.Didn't I take care of you, see what I do and you do the same?When did you ever see me put one leg up and pee on a lady's skirt?Have you ever seen me make a joke like that? Proteus and Julia enter men's attire. Proteus Is thy name Sebastian?I like you very much, and I will send you to do one thing. Julia Please order me down, I will do my best. Proteus is fine. (to Lance) Hey, you fool!Where have you been wandering these two days? Lance Well, sir, I sent the dog to Miss Sylvia as you said. Proteus What did she say when she saw my little one? Lance Well, she said, your dog is a vile dog; she told me to tell you that she would not dare to accept such a gift as you. Proteus Does she not accept my dog? Lance No, she won't; now I'm bringing it back. Proteus what!Will you give her the beast for me? Lance Yes, sir; that little squirrel was stolen in the market by some wretches, That's why I sent her my own dog.This dog is ten times bigger than yours, and of course the gift is worth a lot more. Proteus, go and find my dog; if not, do not come to see me again.Get out!Do you want me to see you angry?This slave is always embarrassing me. (Exit Lance) Sebastian, partly because I need a child like you to do me something, not so unreliable as that fool; but partly because I've learned from your looks Behavior, know that you are a well-bred, honest and reliable person.So remember, I'm taking you in for this.Now you go and give Miss Sylvia this ring, which was given to me by a man who loves me. Julia Perhaps you don't love her any more, so you're giving away a souvenir of her?Is she dead? Proteus No, I think she's alive. Julia! Proteus Why do you sigh? Julia: I can't help pity her. Proteus Why do you pity her? Julia Because I think she loves you as you love your Miss Silvia.She dreams of a man who has forgotten her love; you are passionately in love with a woman who will not accept your love.Love is so uneven and upside down, it's really lamentable to think about it! Proteus Well, well, take this ring and this letter to her; that's the room where she lives.Tell the lady that I will ask her for that celestial portrait of her which she has promised me.Come back quickly after finishing your errands, and you will find me sad in my room alone. (Down.) How many women in Julia would be willing to do such an errand?Alas, poor Proteus!You have found a fox to herd your sheep.Alas, I am a fool!He dislikes me so much, why should I pity him?Because he loves her, he despises me; because I love him, I have to pity him.This ring was given to him when we were parting, so that he would always remember me; now I, the messenger of misfortune, want to beg for him what I don't want him to have, and give what I don't want to give. , praise the faithfulness that I would not praise.I love my master with all my heart, but if I would be true to him, I must be untrue to myself.I have no choice but to woo him for him, but I want to do it very coldly, God knows, I don't want him to get his wish. Enter Sylvia, followed by the Maids. Good morning Julia, miss!Please take me to Miss Sylvia. Sylvia If I were her, what would you tell me? Julia If you are her, I have come by order, and I have a few words to hear. On whose order did Sylvia come? Julia My lord Proteus, miss. Silvia Oh, did he call you to get a portrait? Julia Yes, miss. Sylvia Ursula, bring me my portrait. (The waitress takes the portrait to) Take this to your master, and tell him again that there is a Julia whom his wandering heart has forgotten, who is more worthy of worship than the shadow in this painting. Miss Julia, please read this letter. —No, please forgive me, miss, I have sent the wrong letter inadvertently; this is your letter. Sylvia please show me that one again. Julia It is impossible, my dear lady, forgive me. SILVIA Then take it.I don't want to read your master's letter. I know it's full of vows, and he'll forget about it after he's said it, just like I tore up the paper. Miss Julia, he told me to deliver this ring. SILVIA It is especially his fault; I have heard him say it a thousand times, which his Julia gave him at parting.Though his unconscionable fingers have stained the ring, I would not put it on for Julia's sake. Julia she thank you. Silvia what are you talking about? Julia I thank you, madam, for taking such an interest in her.Poor girl!My master is so sorry for her. Sylvia, do you know her too? Julia I know her as well as I know myself.To tell you the truth, I have shed hundreds of tears at the remembrance of her misfortune. Sylvia She probably thought Proteus had abandoned her. Julia I think she thinks so, and that's why she's sad. Sylvia is she pretty? Miss Julia, she was much better looking than she is now.When she thought my master loved her very much, she seemed to me as beautiful as you; but since she didn't care to look at the mirror and was lazy to put on makeup, the rose on her cheeks has been blown and withered, and her The lily-like complexion has also faded, and now she is as dark and ugly as me. What is Sylvia's figure? Julia was about as tall as I was; for one of the local youths asked me to dress up as a woman in various plays at Pentecost, and lent me Miss Julia's dress, which happened to fit my figure, and they said it was It's like it was cut for me, so I know she's about my height.At that time I played Ariadne, mourning Theseus's ruthless abandonment; ⑤I acted so tragically and vividly that my lady couldn't help shedding tears frequently.Now that she herself is being treated like this, why doesn't it make me feel sorry for her! Sylvia She must be very grateful to you when she knows your sympathy for her.Oh, poor girl, to be so abandoned!After listening to your words, I also shed tears.For your good lady's sake, my child, I give you these moneys, because you love her.goodbye. Julia If you knew her, she would thank you for your kindness. (Exit Sylvia and attendants) She is a virtuous and beautiful lady of your family.With such an interest in Julia, it seemed that there was little hope of my master's wooing her.Oh, how good love is at fooling itself!This is a portrait of her, let me look up.I thought, if I had such a hat, my face would be as lovely as hers; but the painter seems to have embellished her beauty a little, or I am too self-pitying.Her hair is auburn, mine is pure blond; if he loves her for the difference, I'll put on a wig.Her gray eyes were clear as crystal, and so were mine; but my brow was higher than hers.If Cupid is not blind, then what point do I not catch up with her?Roll up this shadow, it is your rival.O image of your ignorance!He will adore you, love you, kiss you, hold you; if his blind love had any reason, he should love me in flesh and blood and forget you; but because she did me no wrong, so I also want to love and cherish you; otherwise, I will swear to goug out your blind eyes, so that my master will no longer love you. (Down.)
