Proposal
Hence, bashful cunning!
And prompt me, plain and holy innocence!

If not, I’ll die your maid: to be your fellow
You may deny me; but I’ll be your servant,
Whether you will or no.— The Tempest,

Step by Step
No sooner met but they looked;
No sooner looked but they loved;
No sooner loved but they sighed;
No sooner signed but they asked one another the reason;
No sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy;
And in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.–As You Like It,
Act V, Scene ii
