MARIANA: |
No, my lord. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
A widow, then? |
MARIANA: |
Neither, my lord. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Why, you are nothing then: neither maid, widow, nor wife? |
LUCIO: |
My lord, she may be a punk; for many of them are |
neither maid, widow, nor wife. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Silence that fellow: I would he had some cause |
To prattle for himself. |
LUCIO: |
Well, my lord. |
MARIANA: |
My lord; I do confess I ne'er was married; |
And I confess besides I am no maid: |
I have known my husband; yet my husband |
Knows not that ever he knew me. |
LUCIO: |
He was drunk then, my lord: it can be no better. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
For the benefit of silence, would thou wert so too! |
LUCIO: |
Well, my lord. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
This is no witness for Lord Angelo. |
MARIANA: |
Now I come to't my lord |
She that accuses him of fornication, |
In self-same manner doth accuse my husband, |
And charges him my lord, with such a time |
When I'll depose I had him in mine arms |
With all the effect of love. |
ANGELO: |
Charges she more than me? |
MARIANA: |
Not that I know. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
No? you say your husband. |
MARIANA: |
Why, just, my lord, and that is Angelo, |
Who thinks he knows that he ne'er knew my body, |
But knows he thinks that he knows Isabel's. |
ANGELO: |
This is a strange abuse. Let's see thy face. |
MARIANA: |
My husband bids me; now I will unmask. |
This is that face, thou cruel Angelo, |
Which once thou sworest was worth the looking on; |
This is the hand which, with a vow'd contract, |
Was fast belock'd in thine; this is the body |
That took away the match from Isabel, |
And did supply thee at thy garden-house |
In her imagined person. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Know you this woman? |
LUCIO: |
Carnally, she says. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Sirrah, no more! |
LUCIO: |
Enough, my lord. |
ANGELO: |
My lord, I must confess I know this woman: |
And five years since there was some speech of marriage |
Betwixt myself and her; which was broke off, |
Partly for that her promised proportions |
Came short of composition, but in chief |
For that her reputation was disvalued |
In levity: since which time of five years |
I never spake with her, saw her, nor heard from her, |
Upon my faith and honour. |
