ELBOW: |
For being a bawd, for being a bawd. |
LUCIO: |
Well, then, imprison him: if imprisonment be the |
due of a bawd, why, 'tis his right: bawd is he |
doubtless, and of antiquity too; bawd-born. |
Farewell, good Pompey. Commend me to the prison, |
Pompey: you will turn good husband now, Pompey; you |
will keep the house. |
POMPEY: |
I hope, sir, your good worship will be my bail. |
LUCIO: |
No, indeed, will I not, Pompey; it is not the wear. |
I will pray, Pompey, to increase your bondage: If |
you take it not patiently, why, your mettle is the |
more. Adieu, trusty Pompey. 'Bless you, friar. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
And you. |
LUCIO: |
Does Bridget paint still, Pompey, ha? |
ELBOW: |
Come your ways, sir; come. |
POMPEY: |
You will not bail me, then, sir? |
LUCIO: |
Then, Pompey, nor now. What news abroad, friar? |
what news? |
ELBOW: |
Come your ways, sir; come. |
LUCIO: |
Go to kennel, Pompey; go. |
What news, friar, of the duke? |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
I know none. Can you tell me of any? |
LUCIO: |
Some say he is with the Emperor of Russia; other |
some, he is in Rome: but where is he, think you? |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
I know not where; but wheresoever, I wish him well. |
LUCIO: |
It was a mad fantastical trick of him to steal from |
the state, and usurp the beggary he was never born |
to. Lord Angelo dukes it well in his absence; he |
puts transgression to 't. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
He does well in 't. |
LUCIO: |
A little more lenity to lechery would do no harm in |
him: something too crabbed that way, friar. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
It is too general a vice, and severity must cure it. |
LUCIO: |
Yes, in good sooth, the vice is of a great kindred; |
it is well allied: but it is impossible to extirp |
it quite, friar, till eating and drinking be put |
down. They say this Angelo was not made by man and |
woman after this downright way of creation: is it |
true, think you? |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
How should he be made, then? |
LUCIO: |
Some report a sea-maid spawned him; some, that he |
was begot between two stock-fishes. But it is |
certain that when he makes water his urine is |
congealed ice; that I know to be true: and he is a |
motion generative; that's infallible. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
You are pleasant, sir, and speak apace. |
LUCIO: |
Why, what a ruthless thing is this in him, for the |
rebellion of a codpiece to take away the life of a |
man! Would the duke that is absent have done this? |
Ere he would have hanged a man for the getting a |
hundred bastards, he would have paid for the nursing |
a thousand: he had some feeling of the sport: he |
knew the service, and that instructed him to mercy. |
