Reading edition
V. 1 Scene I. Milan. An abbey.
Enter Eglamour.
Egl. 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, 5 Unless it be to come before their time; So much they spur their expedition. See where she comes. Enter Silvia. Lady, a happy evening!
Sil. Amen, amen! Go on, good Eglamour, Out at the postern by the abbey-wall: 10 I fear I am attended by some spies.
Egl. Fear not: the forest is not three leagues off; If we recover that, we are sure enough. Exeunt.
