Jul. And Julia herself did give it me; And Julia herself hath brought it hither. Jul. Behold her that gave aim to all thy oaths, It is the lesser blot, modesty finds, Women to change their shapes, than men their minds. man But constant, he were perfect: that one error Fills him with faults; makes him run through all th' sins: Inconstancy falls off ere it begins: What is in Silvia's face but I may spy More fresh in Julia's with a constant eye? Val. Come, come, a hand from either: Let me be blest to make this happy close: "Twere pity two such friends should be long foes. Pro. Bear witness, Heaven, I have my wish for ever. Enter Outlaws, with DUKE and THURIO. Thu. Yonder is Silvia; and Silvia's mine. Val. Thurio, give back, or else embrace thy death; Come not within the measure of my wrath: Do not name Silvia thine; if once again, Milan shall not behold thee. Here she stands, I do applaud thy spirit, Valentine, Take thou thy Silvia, for thou hast deserv'd her. Val. I thank your grace: the gift hath made me happy. I now beseech you, for your daughter's sake, To grant one boon that I shall ask of you. Duke. I grant it, for thine own, whate'er it be. Are men endued with worthy qualities; Forgive them what they have committed here, They are reform'd, civil, full of good, And fit for great employment, worthy lord. Duke. Thou hast prevail'd; I pardon them, and thee; Dispose of them as thou know'st their deserts. Come, let us go; we will include all jars With triumphs, mirth, and rare solemnity. Val. And, as we walk along, I dare be bold With our discourse to make your grace to smile: 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 done, our day of marriage shall be yours; [Exeunt.
