In your close patience. |
ISABELLA: |
O, I will to him and pluck out his eyes! |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
You shall not be admitted to his sight. |
ISABELLA: |
Unhappy Claudio! wretched Isabel! |
Injurious world! most damned Angelo! |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
This nor hurts him nor profits you a jot; |
Forbear it therefore; give your cause to heaven. |
Mark what I say, which you shall find |
By every syllable a faithful verity: |
The duke comes home to-morrow; nay, dry your eyes; |
One of our convent, and his confessor, |
Gives me this instance: already he hath carried |
Notice to Escalus and Angelo, |
Who do prepare to meet him at the gates, |
There to give up their power. If you can, pace your wisdom |
In that good path that I would wish it go, |
And you shall have your bosom on this wretch, |
Grace of the duke, revenges to your heart, |
And general honour. |
ISABELLA: |
I am directed by you. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
This letter, then, to Friar Peter give; |
'Tis that he sent me of the duke's return: |
Say, by this token, I desire his company |
At Mariana's house to-night. Her cause and yours |
I'll perfect him withal, and he shall bring you |
Before the duke, and to the head of Angelo |
Accuse him home and home. For my poor self, |
I am combined by a sacred vow |
And shall be absent. Wend you with this letter: |
Command these fretting waters from your eyes |
With a light heart; trust not my holy order, |
If I pervert your course. Who's here? |
LUCIO: |
Good even. Friar, where's the provost? |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Not within, sir. |
LUCIO: |
O pretty Isabella, I am pale at mine heart to see |
thine eyes so red: thou must be patient. I am fain |
to dine and sup with water and bran; I dare not for |
my head fill my belly; one fruitful meal would set |
me to 't. But they say the duke will be here |
to-morrow. By my troth, Isabel, I loved thy brother: |
if the old fantastical duke of dark corners had been |
at home, he had lived. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Sir, the duke is marvellous little beholding to your |
reports; but the best is, he lives not in them. |
LUCIO: |
Friar, thou knowest not the duke so well as I do: |
he's a better woodman than thou takest him for. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Well, you'll answer this one day. Fare ye well. |
LUCIO: |
Nay, tarry; I'll go along with thee |
I can tell thee pretty tales of the duke. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
You have told me too many of him already, sir, if |
they be true; if not true, none were enough. |
LUCIO: |
I was once before him for getting a wench with child. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Did you such a thing? |
LUCIO: |
Yes, marry, did I but I was fain to forswear it; |
they would else have married me to the rotten medlar. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Sir, your company is fairer than honest. Rest you well. |
LUCIO: |
By my troth, I'll go with thee to the lane's end: |
if bawdy talk offend you, we'll have very little of |
it. Nay, friar, I am a kind of burr; I shall stick. |
ESCALUS: |
Every letter he hath writ hath disvouched other. |
