Speeches (Lines) for First Outlaw in "The Two Gentlemen of Verona"

Duke of Milan. Even now about it! I will pardon you.

First Outlaw. Fellows, stand fast; I see a passenger.

Valentine. My friends,--

First Outlaw. That's not so, sir: we are your enemies.

Valentine. To Verona.

First Outlaw. Whence came you?

Valentine. Some sixteen months, and longer might have stay'd,
If crooked fortune had not thwarted me.

First Outlaw. What, were you banish'd thence?

Valentine. For that which now torments me to rehearse:
I kill'd a man, whose death I much repent;
But yet I slew him manfully in fight,
Without false vantage or base treachery.

First Outlaw. Why, ne'er repent it, if it were done so.
But were you banish'd for so small a fault?

Third Outlaw. By the bare scalp of Robin Hood's fat friar,
This fellow were a king for our wild faction!

First Outlaw. We'll have him. Sirs, a word.

Second Outlaw. And I from Mantua, for a gentleman,
Who, in my mood, I stabb'd unto the heart.

First Outlaw. And I for such like petty crimes as these,
But to the purpose--for we cite our faults,
That they may hold excus'd our lawless lives;
And partly, seeing you are beautified
With goodly shape and by your own report
A linguist and a man of such perfection
As we do in our quality much want--

Third Outlaw. What say'st thou? wilt thou be of our consort?
Say ay, and be the captain of us all:
We'll do thee homage and be ruled by thee,
Love thee as our commander and our king.

First Outlaw. But if thou scorn our courtesy, thou diest.

Julia. And I will follow, more to cross that love
Than hate for Silvia that is gone for love.

First Outlaw. Come, come,
Be patient; we must bring you to our captain.

Second Outlaw. Come, bring her away.

First Outlaw. Where is the gentleman that was with her?

Third Outlaw. Being nimble-footed, he hath outrun us,
But Moyses and Valerius follow him.
Go thou with her to the west end of the wood;
There is our captain: we'll follow him that's fled;
The thicket is beset; he cannot 'scape.

First Outlaw. Come, I must bring you to our captain's cave:
Fear not; he bears an honourable mind,
And will not use a woman lawlessly.
