3 KING HENRY VI
CLIFFORD:
Here burns my candle out; ay, here it dies,
Which, whiles it lasted, gave King Henry light.
O Lancaster, I fear thy overthrow
More than my body's parting with my soul!
My love and fear glued many friends to thee;
And, now I fall, thy tough commixture melts.

CLIFFORD:

Which, whiles it lasted, gave King Henry light.
O Lancaster, I fear thy overthrow
More than my body's parting with my soul!
My love and fear glued many friends to thee;
And, now I fall, thy tough commixture melts.

Clifford, repent in bootless penitence.
WARWICK:
Clifford, devise excuses for thy faults.
GEORGE:
While we devise fell tortures for thy faults.
RICHARD:
Thou didst love York, and I am son to York.
EDWARD:
Thou pitied'st Rutland; I will pity thee.
GEORGE:
Where's Captain Margaret, to fence you now?
WARWICK:
They m... |
Now to London,
To see these honours in possession.
3 KING HENRY VI
First Keeper:
Under this thick-grown brake we'll shroud ourselves;
For through this laund anon the deer will come;
And in this covert will we make our stand,
Culling the principal of all the deer.
Second Keeper:
I'll stay above the hill, so both may s... |
Her tears will pierce into a marble heart;
The tiger will be mild whiles she doth mourn;
And Nero will be tainted with remorse,
To hear and see her plaints, her brinish tears.
Ay, but she's come to beg, Warwick to give;
She, on his left side, craving aid for Henry,
He, on his right, asking a wife for Edward.
She weeps,... |
His lands then seized on by the conqueror:
Her suit is now to repossess those lands;
Which we in justice cannot well deny,
Because in quarrel of the house of York
The worthy gentleman did lose his life.
GLOUCESTER:
Your highness shall do well to grant her suit;
It were dishonour to deny it her.
KING EDWARD IV:
It wer... |
My mind will never grant what I perceive
Your highness aims at, if I aim aright.
KING EDWARD IV:
To tell thee plain, I aim to lie with thee.
LADY GREY:
To tell you plain, I had rather lie in prison.
KING EDWARD IV:
Why, then thou shalt not have thy husband's lands.
LADY GREY:
Why, then mine honesty shall be my dowe... |
Lords, use her honourably.
GLOUCESTER:
Ay, Edward will use women honourably.
Would he were wasted, marrow, bones and all,
That from his loins no hopeful branch may spring,
To cross me from the golden time I look for!
And yet, between my soul's desire and me--
The lustful Edward's title buried--
Is Clarence, Henry, and... |
Deceive more slily than Ulysses could,
And, like a Sinon, take another Troy.
I can add colours to the chameleon,
Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,
And set the murderous Machiavel to school.
Can I do this, and cannot get a crown?
Tut, were it farther off, I'll pluck it down.
3 KING HENRY VI
KING LEWIS XI:
Fair... |
His demand
Springs not from Edward's well-meant honest love,
But from deceit bred by necessity;
His demand
Springs not from Edward's well-meant honest love,
For how can tyrants safely govern home,
Unless abroad they purchase great alliance?
To prove him tyrant this reason may suffice,
That Henry liveth still: but were ... |
And now forthwith shall articles be drawn
Touching the jointure that your king must make,
Which with her dowry shall be counterpoised.
Draw near, Queen Margaret, and be a witness
That Bona shall be wife to the English king.
PRINCE EDWARD:
To Edward, but not to the English king.
QUEEN MARGARET:
Deceitful Warwick! it w... |
For matching more for wanton lust than honour,
Or than for strength and safety of our country.
BONA:
Dear brother, how shall Bona be revenged
But by thy help to this distressed queen?
QUEEN MARGARET:
Renowned prince, how shall poor Henry live,
Unless thou rescue him from foul despair?
BONA:
My quarrel and this Engli... |
Which are so weak of courage and in judgment
That they'll take no offence at our abuse.
KING EDWARD IV:
Suppose they take offence without a cause,
They are but Lewis and Warwick: I am Edward,
Your king and Warwick's, and must have my will.
GLOUCESTER:
And shall have your will, because our king:
Yet hasty marriage sel... |
And they shall feel the vengeance of my wrath.
GLOUCESTER:
KING EDWARD IV:
Now, messenger, what letters or what news
From France?
Post:
My sovereign liege, no letters; and few words,
But such as I, without your special pardon,
Dare not relate.
KING EDWARD IV:
Go to, we pardon thee: therefore, in brief,
Tell me thei... |
You twain, of all the rest,
Are near to Warwick by blood and by alliance:
Tell me if you love Warwick more than me?
If it be so, then both depart to him;
I rather wish you foes than hollow friends:
But if you mind to hold your true obedience,
Give me assurance with some friendly vow,
That I may never have you in suspec... |
To-morrow then belike shall be the day,
If Warwick be so near as men report.
Third Watchman:
But say, I pray, what nobleman is that
That with the king here resteth in his tent?
First Watchman:
'Tis the Lord Hastings, the king's chiefest friend.
Third Watchman:
O, is it so? But why commands the king
That his chief fo... |
Is new committed to the Bishop of York,
Fell Warwick's brother and by that our foe.
RIVERS:
These news I must confess are full of grief;
Yet, gracious madam, bear it as you may:
Warwick may lose, that now hath won the day.
QUEEN ELIZABETH:
Till then fair hope must hinder life's decay.
And I the rather wean me from de... |
Ay, such a pleasure as incaged birds
Conceive when after many moody thoughts
At last by notes of household harmony
They quite forget their loss of liberty.
But, Warwick, after God, thou set'st me free,
And chiefly therefore I thank God and thee;
He was the author, thou the instrument.
Therefore, that I may conquer fort... |
My brother was too careless of his charge.
But let us hence, my sovereign, to provide
A salve for any sore that may betide.
SOMERSET:
My lord, I like not of this flight of Edward's;
For doubtless Burgundy will yield him help,
And we shall have more wars before 't be long.
As Henry's late presaging prophecy
Did glad my... |
By what safe means the crown may be recover'd.
MONTAGUE:
What talk you of debating? in few words,
If you'll not here proclaim yourself our king,
I'll leave you to your fortune and be gone
To keep them back that come to succor you:
Why shall we fight, if you pretend no title?
GLOUCESTER:
Why, brother, wherefore stand ... |
And thus I seal my truth, and bid adieu.
KING HENRY VI:
Sweet Oxford, and my loving Montague,
And all at once, once more a happy farewell.
WARWICK:
Farewell, sweet lords: let's meet at Coventry.
KING HENRY VI:
Here at the palace I will rest awhile.
Cousin of Exeter, what thinks your lordship?
Methinks the power that... |
Call Warwick patron and be penitent?
And thou shalt still remain the Duke of York.
GLOUCESTER:
I thought, at least, he would have said the king;
Or did he make the jest against his will?
WARWICK:
Is not a dukedom, sir, a goodly gift?
GLOUCESTER:
Ay, by my faith, for a poor earl to give:
I'll do thee service for so g... |
Why, trow'st thou, Warwick,
That Clarence is so harsh, so blunt, unnatural,
To bend the fatal instruments of war
Against his brother and his lawful king?
Perhaps thou wilt object my holy oath:
To keep that oath were more impiety
Than Jephthah's, when he sacrificed his daughter.
Why, trow'st thou, Warwick,
That Clarence... |
Ah, Montague,
If thou be there, sweet brother, take my hand.
And with thy lips keep in my soul awhile!
Ah, Montague,
If thou be there, sweet brother, take my hand.
Thou lovest me not; for, brother, if thou didst,
Thy tears would wash this cold congealed blood
That glues my lips and will not let me speak.
Come quickly, ... |
Is't meet that he
Should leave the helm and like a fearful lad
With tearful eyes add water to the sea
And give more strength to that which hath too much,
Whiles, in his moan, the ship splits on the rock,
Which industry and courage might have saved?
Ah, what a shame! ah, what a fault were this!
Say Warwick was our ancho... |
And take his thanks that yet hath nothing else.
Messenger:
Prepare you, lords, for Edward is at hand.
Ready to fight; therefore be resolute.
OXFORD:
I thought no less: it is his policy
To haste thus fast, to find us unprovided.
SOMERSET:
But he's deceived; we are in readiness.
QUEEN MARGARET:
This cheers my heart, ... |
And thou usurp'st my father's right and mine.
KING EDWARD IV:
Take that, thou likeness of this railer here.
GLOUCESTER:
Sprawl'st thou? take that, to end thy agony.
CLARENCE:
And there's for twitting me with perjury.
QUEEN MARGARET:
O, kill me too!
GLOUCESTER:
Marry, and shall.
KING EDWARD IV:
Hold, Richard, hold... |
What, at your book so hard?
KING HENRY VI:
Ay, my good lord:--my lord, I should say rather;
'Tis sin to flatter; 'good' was little better:
'Good Gloucester' and 'good devil' were alike,
And both preposterous; therefore, not 'good lord.'
What, at your book so hard?
KING HENRY VI:
Ay, my good lord:--my lord, I should s... |
Sink in the ground? I thought it would have mounted.
See how my sword weeps for the poor king's death!
O, may such purple tears be alway shed
From those that wish the downfall of our house!
If any spark of life be yet remaining,
Down, down to hell; and say I sent thee thither:
I, that have neither pity, love, nor fear.... |
ARCHIDAMUS:
If you shall chance, Camillo, to visit Bohemia, on
the like occasion whereon my services are now on
foot, you shall see, as I have said, great
difference betwixt our Bohemia and your Sicilia.
CAMILLO:
I think, this coming summer, the King of Sicilia
means to pay Bohemia the visitation which he justly owes ... |
My affairs
Do even drag me homeward: which to hinder
My affairs
Were in your love a whip to me; my stay
To you a charge and trouble: to save both,
Farewell, our brother.
LEONTES:
Tongue-tied, our queen?
speak you.
HERMIONE:
I had thought, sir, to have held my peace until
You have drawn oaths from him not to stay. You... |
Had we pursued that life,
And our weak spirits ne'er been higher rear'd
With stronger blood, we should have answer'd heaven
Boldly 'not guilty;' the imposition clear'd
Hereditary ours.
HERMIONE:
By this we gather
You have tripp'd since.
POLIXENES:
O my most sacred lady!
Temptations have since then been born to's; for... |
Come, captain,
We must be neat; not neat, but cleanly, captain:
And yet the steer, the heifer and the calf
Are all call'd neat.--Still virginalling
Upon his palm!--How now, you wanton calf!
Art thou my calf?
MAMILLIUS:
Yes, if you will, my lord.
LEONTES:
Thou want'st a rough pash and the shoots that I have,
Come, cap... |
Hermione,
How thou lovest us, show in our brother's welcome;
Let what is dear in Sicily be cheap:
Next to thyself and my young rover, he's
Apparent to my heart.
HERMIONE:
If you would seek us,
We are yours i' the garden: shall's attend you there?
LEONTES:
To your own bents dispose you: you'll be found,
Be you beneath... |
Was this taken
By any understanding pate but thine?
For thy conceit is soaking, will draw in
More than the common blocks: not noted, is't,
But of the finer natures? by some severals
Of head-piece extraordinary? lower messes
Perchance are to this business purblind? say.
CAMILLO:
Business, my lord! I think most understa... |
But, beseech your grace,
Be plainer with me; let me know my trespass
By its own visage: if I then deny it,
'Tis none of mine.
LEONTES:
Ha' not you seen, Camillo,--
But that's past doubt, you have, or your eye-glass
Is thicker than a cuckold's horn,--or heard,--
For to a vision so apparent rumour
Cannot be mute,--or th... |
Which should undo more doing: ay, and thou,
His cupbearer,--whom I from meaner form
Have benched and reared to worship, who mayst see
Plainly as heaven sees earth and earth sees heaven,
How I am galled,--mightst bespice a cup,
To give mine enemy a lasting wink;
Which draught to me were cordial.
CAMILLO:
Sir, my lord,
... |
Do you know, and dare not?
Be intelligent to me: 'tis thereabouts;
For, to yourself, what you do know, you must.
And cannot say, you dare not. Good Camillo,
Do you know, and dare not?
Be intelligent to me: 'tis thereabouts;
For, to yourself, what you do know, you must.
Your changed complexions are to me a mirror
Which ... |
Be not uncertain;
For, by the honour of my parents, I
Have utter'd truth: which if you seek to prove,
I dare not stand by; nor shall you be safer
Than one condemn'd by the king's own mouth, thereon
His execution sworn.
Be not uncertain;
For, by the honour of my parents, I
Have utter'd truth: which if you seek to prove,... |
Pray now
What colour are your eyebrows?
First Lady:
Blue, my lord.
MAMILLIUS:
Nay, that's a mock: I have seen a lady's nose
That has been blue, but not her eyebrows.
First Lady:
Hark ye;
The queen your mother rounds apace: we shall
Present our services to a fine new prince
One of these days; and then you'ld wanton w... |
I have drunk,
and seen the spider.
Camillo was his help in this, his pander:
There is a plot against my life, my crown;
I have drunk,
and seen the spider.
Camillo was his help in this, his pander:
All's true that is mistrusted: that false villain
Whom I employ'd was pre-employ'd by him:
He has discover'd my design, and... |
Good my lords,
I am not prone to weeping, as our sex
Commonly are; the want of which vain dew
Perchance shall dry your pities: but I have
That honourable grief lodged here which burns
Worse than tears drown: beseech you all, my lords,
Good my lords,
I am not prone to weeping, as our sex
Commonly are; the want of which ... |
Be she honour-flaw'd,
I have three daughters; the eldest is eleven
The second and the third, nine, and some five;
If this prove true, they'll pay for't:
by mine honour,
I'll geld 'em all; fourteen they shall not see,
To bring false generations: they are co-heirs;
And I had rather glib myself than they
Should not produc... |
Camillo's flight,
Added to their familiarity,
Which was as gross as ever touch'd conjecture,
That lack'd sight only, nought for approbation
But only seeing, all other circumstances
Made up to the deed, doth push on this proceeding:
Yet, for a greater confirmation,
For in an act of this importance 'twere
Most piteous to... |
Pray you, Emilia,
Commend my best obedience to the queen:
If she dares trust me with her little babe,
I'll show't the king and undertake to be
Her advocate to the loud'st. We do not know

Commend my best obedience to the queen:

'Tis such as you,
That creep like shadows by him and do sigh
At each his needless heavings, such as you

Do come with words as medicinal as true,
Honest as either, to purge him of that humour
That presses him from sleep.

Take up the bastard;
Take't up, I say; give't to thy crone.
PAULINA:
For ever
Unvenerable be thy hands, if thou
Takest up the princess by that forced baseness
Which he has put upon't!
LEONTES:
He dreads his wife.
PAULINA:
So I would you did; then 'twere past all doubt
You'ld call your children yours.
LEONTES:
A nes... |
I'll not call you tyrant;
But this most cruel usage of your queen,
I'll not call you tyrant;
Not able to produce more accusation
Than your own weak-hinged fancy, something savours
Of tyranny and will ignoble make you,
Yea, scandalous to the world.
LEONTES:
On your allegiance,
Out of the chamber with her! Were I a tyra... |
Take it up.
ANTIGONUS:
I swear to do this, though a present death
Had been more merciful. Come on, poor babe:
Take it up.

To be thy nurses! Wolves and bears, they say
Casting their savageness aside have done

You, my lord, best know,
Who least will seem to do so, my past life
Hath been as continent, as chaste, as true,
As I am now unhappy; which is more
Than history can pattern, though devised
And play'd to take spectators. For behold me

My third comfort
Starr'd most unluckily, is from my breast,
The innocent milk in its most innocent mouth,
Haled out to murder: myself on every post
Proclaimed a strumpet: with immodest hatred
The child-bed privilege denied, which 'longs
To women of all fashion; lastly, hurried
Here to this place, i' the open air, befor... |
Your honours all,
I do refer me to the oracle:
Apollo be my judge!
First Lord:
This your request
Is altogether just: therefore bring forth,
And in Apollos name, his oracle.

O that he were alive, and here beholding
His daughter's trial! that he did but see

Thou wouldst have poison'd good Camillo's honour,
To have him kill a king: poor trespasses,
More monstrous standing by: whereof I reckon
The casting forth to crows thy baby-daughter

Would have shed water out of fire ere done't:
Nor is't directly laid to thee, the death

In my conscience,
The heavens with that we have in hand are angry
And frown upon 's.
ANTIGONUS:
Their sacred wills be done! Go, get aboard;
Look to thy bark: I'll not be long before
I call upon thee.
Mariner:
Make your best haste, and go not
Too far i' the land: 'tis like to be loud weather;
Besides, this place is fa... |
A savage clamour!
Well may I get aboard! This is the chase:
I am gone for ever.
Shepherd:
I would there were no age between sixteen and
three-and-twenty, or that youth would sleep out the
rest; for there is nothing in the between but
getting wenches with child, wronging the ancientry,
stealing, fighting--Hark you now!... |
Now bless thyself: thou mettest with things
dying, I with things newborn. Here's a sight for
Now bless thyself: thou mettest with things

rich by the fairies. This is some chang... |
Besides, the penitent
king, my master, hath sent for me; to whose feeling
sorrows I might be some allay, or I o'erween to
think so, which is another spur to my departure.
POLIXENES:
As thou lovest me, Camillo, wipe not out the rest of
thy services by leaving me now: the need I have of
thee thine own goodness hath made... |
Thou
shalt accompany us to the place; where we will, not
appearing what we are, have some question with the
shepherd; from whose simplicity I think it not
uneasy to get the cause of my son's resort thither.
Prithee, be my present partner in this business, and
lay aside the thoughts of Sicilia.

I know this man well: he
hath been since an ape-bearer; then a
process-server, a bailiff; then he compassed a
motion of the Prodigal Son, and married a tinker's
wife within a mile where my land and living lies;
and, having flown over many knavish professions, he
settled only in rogue: some call him Autolycus.
Clown:
O... |
Even now I tremble
To think your father, by some accident,
Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates!
How would he look, to see his work so noble
Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how
Should I, in these my borrow'd flaunts, behold
Even now I tremble
To think your father, by some accident,
Should pass this way ... |
You are retired,
As if you were a feasted one and not
The hostess of the meeting: pray you, bid
These unknown friends to's welcome; for it is
A way to make us better friends, more known.
Come, quench your blushes and present yourself
That which you are, mistress o' the feast: come on,
And bid us welcome to your sheep-s... |
You're very welcome.
CAMILLO:
I should leave grazing, were I of your flock,
And only live by gazing.
PERDITA:
Out, alas!
You'd be so lean, that blasts of January
Would blow you through and through.
Now, my fair'st friend,
I would I had some flowers o' the spring that might
Become your time of day; and yours, and your... |
But come; our dance, I pray:
Your hand, my Perdita: so turtles pair,
That never mean to part.
PERDITA:
I'll swear for 'em.
POLIXENES:
This is the prettiest low-born lass that ever
Ran on the green-sward: nothing she does or seems
But smacks of something greater than herself,
Too noble for this place.
CAMILLO:

Follow me, girls.
AUTOLYCUS:
And you shall pay well for 'em.
Will you buy any tape,
Or lace for your cape,
My dainty duck, my dear-a?
Any silk, any thread,
Any toys for your head,
Of the new'st and finest, finest wear-a?
Come to the pedlar;
Money's a medler.
That doth utter all men's ware-a.
Servant:
Master, there is... |
O, hear me breathe my life
Before this ancient sir, who, it should seem,
Hath sometime loved! I take thy hand, this hand,
As soft as dove's down and as white as it,
Or Ethiopian's tooth, or the fann'd
snow that's bolted
By the northern blasts twice o'er.
POLIXENES:
What follows this?
How prettily the young swain seems... |
Pray you once more,
Is not your father grown incapable
Of reasonable affairs? is he not stupid
With age and altering rheums? can he speak? hear?
Know man from man? dispute his own estate?
Lies he not bed-rid? and again does nothing
But what he did being childish?
FLORIZEL:
No, good sir;
He has his health and ampler st... |
And you, enchantment.--
Worthy enough a herdsman: yea, him too,
That makes himself, but for our honour therein,
Unworthy thee,--if ever henceforth thou
These rural latches to his entrance open,
Or hoop his body more with thy embraces,
I will devise a death as cruel for thee
As thou art tender to't.
PERDITA:
Even here ... |
Camillo,
Not for Bohemia, nor the pomp that may
Be thereat glean'd, for all the sun sees or
The close earth wombs or the profound sea hides

As you have ever been my father's honour'd friend,
When he shall miss me,--as, in faith, I ... |
Methinks I see
Leontes opening his free arms and weeping
His welcomes forth; asks thee the son forgiveness,
As 'twere i' the father's person; kisses the hands
Of your fresh princess; o'er and o'er divides him
'Twixt his unkindness and his kindness; the one
He chides to hell and bids the other grow

My clown, who wants but something to
be a reasonable man, grew so in love with the
wenches' song, that he would not stir his pettitoes
till he had both tune and words; which so drew the

Farewell, my friend.
AUTOLYCUS:
Adieu, sir.
FLORIZEL:
O Perdita, what have we twain forgot!
Pray you, a word.
CAMILLO:
FLORIZEL:
Fortune speed us!
Thus we set on, Camillo, to the sea-side.
CAMILLO:
The swifter speed the better.

Sir, you have done enough, and have perform'd

Left his to the worthiest; so his successor
Was like to be the best.

'Tis not a visitation framed, but forced
By need and accident. What train?
Gentleman:
But few,
And those but mean.
LEONTES:
His princess, say you, with him?
Gentleman:
Ay, the most peerless piece of earth, I think,
That e'er the sun shone bright on.

And hath he too
Exposed this paragon to the fearful usage,
At least ungentle, of the dreadful Neptune,
To greet a man not worth her pains, much less
The adventure of her person?
FLORIZEL:
Good my lord,
She came from Libya.
LEONTES:
Where the warlike Smalus,
That noble honour'd lord, is fear'd and loved?

I am sorry,
Most sorry, you have broken from his liking
Where you were tied in duty, and as sorry
I am sorry,
Most sorry, you have broken from his liking
Your choice is not so rich in worth as beauty,
That you might well enjoy her.
FLORIZEL:
Dear, look up:
Though Fortune, visible an enemy,
Should chase us with my fath... |
Our king, being ready to leap out of
himself for joy of his found daughter, as if that

joy were now become a loss, cries 'O, thy mother,
thy mother!' then asks Bohemia forgiveness; then
embraces his son-in-law; then again worries he his
daughter with clipping her; now he thanks the ... |

Here come those I have done good to against my will,
and already appearing in the blossoms of their fortune.

Come, boy; I am past moe children, but thy... |
All my services
You have paid home: but that you have vouchsafed,
With your crown'd brother and these your contracted
Heirs of your kingdoms, my poor house to visit,
It is a surplus of your grace, which never
My life may last to answer.
LEONTES:
O Paulina,
We honour you with trouble: but we came
To see the statue of o... |
Lady,
Dear queen, that ended when I but began,
Give me that hand of yours to kiss.
PAULINA:
O, patience!
The statue is but newly fix'd, the colour's Not dry.
CAMILLO:
My lord, your sorrow was too sore laid on,
Which sixteen winters cannot blow away,
So many summers dry; scarce any joy
Did ever so long live; no sorrow... |
If you can behold it,
I'll make the statue move indeed, descend
And take you by the hand; but then you'll think--
Which I protest against--I am assisted
By wicked powers.

Good Paulina,
Lead us from hence, where we may leisurely
Each one demand an answer to his part
Perform'd in this wide gap of time since first
Good Paulina,
Lead us from hence, where we may leisurely
Each one demand an answer to his part
We were dissever'd: hastily lead away.

Escalus.

Once more, fare you well.

The heavens give safety to your purposes!
Once more, fare you well.
ANGELO:
ESCALUS:
Lead forth and bring you back in happiness!
DUKE:
I thank you. Fare you well.

I shall desire you, sir, to give me leave
To have free speech with you; and it concerns me

where Madam Mitigation comes! I
have purchased as many diseases under her roof as come to--
Second Gentleman:
To what, I pray?
LUCIO:
Judge.
Second Gentleman:
To three thousand dolours a year.
First Gentleman:
Ay, and more.
LUCIO:
A French crown more.

Thou art always figuring diseases in me; but ... |
You have
not heard of the proclamation, have you?
MISTRESS OVERDONE:
What proclamation, man?
POMPEY:
All houses in the suburbs of Vienna must be plucked down.
MISTRESS OVERDONE:
And what shall become of those in the city?
POMPEY:
They shall stand for seed: they had gone down too,
You have

But it chances
The stealth of our most mutual entertainment
With character too gross is writ on Juliet.
LUCIO:
With child, perhaps?
CLAUDIO:
Unhappily, even so.

Or whether that the body public be
A horse whereon the governor doth ri... |
Now, as fond fathers,
Having bound up the threatening twigs of birch,
Only to stick it in their children's sight

Gentle Isabella,
Turn you the key, and know his business of him;
You may, I may not; you are yet unsworn.
When you have vow'd, you must not speak with men
But in the presence of the prioress:
Then, if you speak, you must not show your face,
Or, if you show your face, you must not speak.
He calls again; I pray you, answ... |
Fewness and truth, 'tis thus:
Your brother and his lover have embraced:
As those that feed grow full, as blossoming time
That from the seedness the bare fallow brings
To teeming foison, even so her plenteous womb
Expresseth his full tilth and husbandry.
ISABELLA:
Some one with child by him? My cousin Juliet?
LUCIO:

Alas, this gentleman
Whom I would save, had a most noble father!
Let but your honour know,
Whom I believe to be most strait in virtue,
That, in the working of your own affections,
Had time cohered with place or place with wishing,
Or that the resolute acting of your blood
Alas, this gentleman
Whom I would save, had a m... |
Sir, he must die.
ESCALUS:
Be it as your wisdom will.
ANGELO:
Where is the provost?
Provost:
Here, if it like your honour.
ANGELO:

Bring him his confessor, let him be prepared;
For that's the utmost of his pilgrimage.
