Vouchsafe me yet your picture for my love,
The picture that is hanging in your chamber;
To that I'll speak, to that I'll sigh and weep:
For since the substance of your perfect self
Is else devoted, I am but a shadow; 120
And to your shadow will I make true love.
_Jul._ [_Aside_] If 'twere a substance, you would,
sure, deceive it,
And make it but a shadow, as I am.
_Sil._ I am very loath to be your idol, sir;
But since your falsehood shall become you well 125
To worship shadows and adore false shapes,
Send to me in the morning, and I'll send it:
And so, good rest.
_Pro._ As wretches have o'ernight
That wait for execution in the morn.
[_Exeunt Pro. and Sil. severally._
_Jul._ Host, will you go? 130
_Host._ By my halidom, I was fast asleep.
_Jul._ Pray you, where lies Sir Proteus?
_Host._ Marry, at my house. Trust me, I think 'tis
almost day.
_Jul._ Not so; but it hath been the longest night 135
That e'er I watch'd, and the most heaviest. [_Exeunt._
