Val. These banish'd men, that I have kept withal,
Are men endued with worthy qualities;
Forgive them what they have committed here,
And let them be recall'd from their exile:
They are reformed civil, ful of good,
And fit for great employment, worthy Lord.
Duke. Thou hast prevail'd; Í pardon them, and thee;
Dispose of them, as thou know'st their deserts.
Oble, let us go; we will include all jars
With triumphs, mirth, and rare solemnity.

Val. And, as we walk along, I dare be bold.
With our discourse to make your Grace to smile;
What think you of this page, my Lord?

Duke. I think the boy hath grace in him; he blushes.
Val. I warrant you, my Lord; more grace than boy.
Duke What mean you by that saying? ...
Val. Please yan, Til tell you as we pass along,
That you will wonder, what hath fortuned."
Come, Proteus; 'tis your penance, but to hear
The story of your loves discovered:

That done, our day of marriage shall be yours; ; ;
One feast, one house, one mutual happiness. [Exeunts
