hurio; for you know that love Will creep in service where it cannot go. 20 _Tim._ Ay, but I hope, sir, that you love not here. _Pro._ Sir, but I do; or else I would be hence. _Thu._ Who? Silvia? _Pro._ Ay, Silvia; for your sake. _Thu._ I thank you for your own. Now, gentlemen, Let's tune, and to it lustily awhile. 25 _Enter, at a distance, HOST, and JULIA in boy's clothes._ _Host._ Now, my young guest, methinks you're allycholly: I pray you, why is it? _Jul._ Marry, mine host, because I cannot be merry. _Host._ Come, we'll have you merry: I'll bring you where you shall hear music, and see the gentleman that 30 you asked for. _Jul._ But shall I hear him speak? _Host._ Ay, that you shall. _Jul._ That will be music.
