’Tis yet his own desire, but when he sees your face, I fear it will not be; therefore I charge you as you have pity, stop these tender ears from his enchanting voice, close up those eyes, that you may neither catch a dart from him, nor he from you; I charge you as you hope to live in quiet; for when I am dead, for certain I will walk to visit him if he break promise with me: for as fast as Oaths without a formal Ceremony can make me, I am to him.
Pan.
Then be fearless;
For if he were a thing ’twixt God
and man,
I could gaze on him; if I knew it sin
To love him without passion: Dry
your eyes,
I swear you shall enjoy him still for
me,
I will not hinder you; but I perceive
You are not what you seem, rise, rise
Thalestris,
If your right name be so.
Spa.
Indeed it is not, Spaconia is
my name; but I desire not to be
known to other.
Pan.
Why, by me you shall not, I will never do you wrong, what good I can, I will, think not my birth or education such, that I should injure a stranger Virgin; you are welcome hither, in company you wish to be commanded, but when we are alone, I shall be ready to be your servant.
