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. She will not fail, for lovers break not hours, Unless it be to come before their time; So much they spur their expedition. See where she comes.
EGLAMOUR
The sun begins to tinge the western sky with gold. And now it's time for Silva to meet me at Friar Patrick's place. She won't be late. Lovers never miss the time they're supposed to meet up—unless they arrive early if they really can't wait to see each other. Here she comes.
Enter SILVIA
EGLAMOUR
Lady, a happy evening!
EGLAMOUR
Good evening to you, lady!
SILVIA
Amen, amen! Go on, good Eglamour,Out at the postern by the abbey-wall:I fear I am attended by some spies.
SILVIA
Amen to that! Let's go, good Eglamour. Let's go out at the back gate by the abbey wall. I am afraid that some spies are following me.

Fear not: the forest is not three leagues off;If we recover that, we are sure enough.
EGLAMOUR
Don't be afraid. The forest is less than nine miles away. If we reach it, we'll be safe enough.
Exeunt
