Fear lent my feet, that he o'ertook me not,
And forth I issued safe. Returning home,
I met with thee, looking all agitation;
And was not less astonished at the sight
Than thou at mine.

DAPHNE.
Thou art alive indeed.
Alas, that all are not so!

SYLVIA.
What? Dost grieve?

DAPHNE.
No: I am pleased to see thee safe: I grieve
Because another's dead.

SYLVIA.
Dead? Who?

DAPHNE.
Amyntas.

SYLVIA.
Amyntas? How?
