SCENEⅡ Milan．The Court of the DUKE＇S Palace
［Enter PROTEUS．］
PROTEUS Already have I been false to Valentine and now I must be as unjust to Thurio．Under the colour of commending him，I have access my own love to prefer；but Silvia is too fair，too true，too holy，to be corrupted with my worthless gifts．When I protest true loyalty to her，she twits me with my falsehood to my friend；when to her beauty I commend my vows，she bids me think how I have been forsworn in breaking faith with Julia whom I loved；and notwithstanding all her sudden quips，the least whereof would quell a lover＇s hope，yet，spaniel－like，the more she spurns my love，the more it grows and fawneth on her still．But here comes Thurio；now must we to her window，and give some evening music to her ear．
［Enter THURIO and Musicians．］
THURIO How now，Sir Proteus，are you crept before us？
盗乙 而且尤其因为你也是一个被放逐之人，所以我们破例来和你商量。你愿意不愿意做我们的首领？穷途落难，未始不可借此栖身，你就像我们一样生活在旷野里吧！
盗丙 你说怎么样？你愿意和我们同伙吗？你只要答应下来，我们就推戴你做首领，大家听从你的号令，把你尊为寨主。
盗甲 可是你倘不接受我们的好意，那你休想活命。
盗乙 我们决不放你活着回去向人家吹牛。
凡伦丁 我愿意接受列位的好意，和你们大家在一起；可是我也有一个条件，你们不许侵犯无知的女人，也不许劫夺穷苦的旅客。
盗丙 不，我们一向不干这种卑劣的行为。来，跟我们去吧。我们要带你去见我们的合寨弟兄，把我们所得到的一切金银财宝都给你看，什么都由你支配，我们大家都愿意服从你。【同下】
