THURIO          What says she to my valour? PROTEUS       O sir, she makes no doubt of that. JULIA  [aside] She needs not, when she knows it cowardice. THURIO What says she to my birth?

Thurio: does Silvia think I am handsome and witty? does she? (5.2.8-18) #2Dudes1Dog #SlowShakespeare

THURIO          What says she to my face? PROTEUS       She says it is a fair one. THURIO Nay, then, the wanton lies. My face is black.

PROTEUS       O sir, I find her milder than she was, And yet she takes exceptions at your person. THURIO What, that my leg is too long? PROTEUS No, that it is too little. THURIO I’ll wear a […]

Silvia is running away to find Valentine! with that nice Sir Eglamour (5.1.1-12) #2Dudes1Dog #SlowShakespeare

Enter Eglamour EGLAMOUR    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.

Julia to Silvia’s portrait: Proteus is going to LOVE you, not at ALL creepily (4.4.183-191) #2Dudes1Dog #SlowShakespeare

JULIA  Come, shadow, come, and take this shadow up, For ’tis thy rival. O, thou senseless form, Thou shalt be worshipped, kissed, loved, and adored! And were there sense in his idolatry My substance should be statue in thy stead. I’ll use thee kindly, for thy mistress’ sake, That used me so; or else, by […]

Julia: I’m as pretty as Silvia! I’m her equal! WHY doesn’t Proteus love me anymore, then? (4.4.170-182) #2Dudes1Dog #SlowShakespeare

JULIA  Here is her picture. Let me see, I think If I had such a tire, this face of mine Were full as lovely as is this of hers. And yet the painter flattered her a little, Unless I flatter with myself too much. Her hair is auburn, mine is perfect yellow; If that be […]

Julia: I acted Ariadne, abandoned by her lover Theseus–and I wept (4.4.151-158) #2Dudes1Dog #SlowShakespeare

JULIA  And at that time I made her weep agood, For I did play a lamentable part – Madam, ’twas Ariadne, passioning For Theseus’ perjury and unjust flight – Which I so lively acted with my tears That my poor mistress, moved therewithal, Wept bitterly; and would I might be dead, If I in thought […]
