__**Key Quotes**__ "I could not stay behind you: my desire, More sharp than ... filed steel, did spur me forth; And not all love to see you, though so much As might have drawn one to a longer voyage, But jealousy what might befall your travel, Being skilless in these parts; which to a stranger, Unguided and unfriended, often prove Rough and unhospitable: my willing love, The rather by these arguments of fear," (Act 3 Scene 3)
