MISTRESS OVERDONE: |
I am too sure of it: and it is for getting Madam |
Julietta with child. |
LUCIO: |
Believe me, this may be: he promised to meet me two |
hours since, and he was ever precise in |
promise-keeping. |
Second Gentleman: |
Besides, you know, it draws something near to the |
speech we had to such a purpose. |
First Gentleman: |
But, most of all, agreeing with the proclamation. |
LUCIO: |
Away! let's go learn the truth of it. |
MISTRESS OVERDONE: |
Thus, what with the war, what with the sweat, what |
with the gallows and what with poverty, I am |
custom-shrunk. |
How now! what's the news with you? |
POMPEY: |
Yonder man is carried to prison. |
MISTRESS OVERDONE: |
Well; what has he done? |
POMPEY: |
A woman. |
MISTRESS OVERDONE: |
But what's his offence? |
POMPEY: |
Groping for trouts in a peculiar river. |
MISTRESS OVERDONE: |
What, is there a maid with child by him? |
POMPEY: |
No, but there's a woman with maid by him. 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, |
but that a wise burgher put in for them. |
MISTRESS OVERDONE: |
But shall all our houses of resort in the suburbs be |
pulled down? |
POMPEY: |
To the ground, mistress. |
MISTRESS OVERDONE: |
Why, here's a change indeed in the commonwealth! |
What shall become of me? |
POMPEY: |
Come; fear you not: good counsellors lack no |
clients: though you change your place, you need not |
change your trade; I'll be your tapster still. |
Courage! there will be pity taken on you: you that |
have worn your eyes almost out in the service, you |
will be considered. |
MISTRESS OVERDONE: |
What's to do here, Thomas tapster? let's withdraw. |
POMPEY: |
Here comes Signior Claudio, led by the provost to |
prison; and there's Madam Juliet. |
CLAUDIO: |
Fellow, why dost thou show me thus to the world? |
Bear me to prison, where I am committed. |
Provost: |
I do it not in evil disposition, |
But from Lord Angelo by special charge. |
CLAUDIO: |
Thus can the demigod Authority |
Make us pay down for our offence by weight |
The words of heaven; on whom it will, it will; |
On whom it will not, so; yet still 'tis just. |
