SCENE I. A GRANGE. Enter Mariana, and Boy singing.
SONG.
¹ ^note

&plquo;Take, oh, take those lips away,
    &plquo;That so sweetly were forsworn;
    &plquo;And those eyes, the break of day,
  &plquo;Lights that do mis-lead the morn;
&plquo;But my kisses bring again,
&plquo;Seals of love, but seal'd in vain.&prquo; Enter Duke.

Mari.

Mari.

I am always bound to you.

[Exit.
