Pr. But, how can't thou by this ring? at my depart, pave this unto Juda.

Douts; and enter Outlaws, with Duke, and Thurio,

Cur. A prize, a prize, a prize!

Forbear, I fay; it is my lord the duke:~

Your grace is welcome to a man difgrac'd,
The banish'd Valentine.

Dune. Siz Valentine!

5. Yonder is Silvia; and Silvia's mine.

Tour, give back, or elie embrace thy death;

Come not within the measure of my wrath: Do not name Silvia thine; if once again,

This reconciliation is amiable, and very well calculated to bring

the cacaftrophe.

Milan

Milan fhall not behold thee: Here the ftands,
Take but poffeffion of her with a touch ;
I dare thee but to breathe upon my love.
Thu. Sir Valentine, I care not for her, I:
I hold him but a fool, that will endanger
His body for a girl that loves him not:

I claim her not, and therefore the is thine.
Duke. The more degenerate and base art thou,
To make fuch means for her as thou haft done,
And leave her on fuch flight conditions.-
Now, by the honour of my ancestry,

I do applaud thy fpirit, Valentine,

And think thee worthy of an emprefs' love:
Know then, I here forget all former griefs,
Cancel all grudge, repeal thee home again;
Plead a new ftate in thy unrival'd merit,
To which I thus fubfcribe,-Sir Valentine,
Thou art a gentleman, and well deriv'd;
Take thou thy Silvia, for thou haft deserv'd her.
Val. I thank your grace; the gift hath made me
happy.

I now beseech you, for your daughter's lake,
To grant one boon that I fhall ask of you.

Duke. I grant it, for thine own, whate'er it be.
Val. Thefe banish'd men, that I have kept withal,
Are men endu'd with worthy qualities;

Forgive them what they have committed here,

And let them be recall'd from their exile:

They are reformed, civil, full of good,

And fit for great employment, worthy lord.

Duke. Thou haft prevail'd; I pardon them, and thee:
Dispose of them, as thou know't their deserts.
Come, let us go; we will include all jars
With triumphs, mirth, and rare folemnity.
Val. And, as we walk along, I dare be bold
With our discourfe to make your grace to fmile:
What think you of this page, my lord?

Duke. I think, the boy hath grace in him; he blushes.
Val. I warrant you, my lord; more grace than boy.
Duke. What mean you by that saying?

Val. 'Please you, I'll tell you as we pass along,
That you will wonder, what hath fortuned.-
Come, Protheus; 'tis your penance, but to hear
The ftory of your loves discovered :

That done, our day of marriage shall be yours;
One feaft, one house, one mutual happiness. [Exeunt *
