DUKE VINCENTIO: |
What's he? |
Provost: |
His name is Barnardine. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
I would thou hadst done so by Claudio. |
Go fetch him hither; let me look upon him. |
ESCALUS: |
I am sorry, one so learned and so wise |
As you, Lord Angelo, have still appear'd, |
Should slip so grossly, both in the heat of blood. |
And lack of temper'd judgment afterward. |
ANGELO: |
I am sorry that such sorrow I procure: |
And so deep sticks it in my penitent heart |
That I crave death more willingly than mercy; |
'Tis my deserving, and I do entreat it. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Which is that Barnardine? |
Provost: |
This, my lord. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
There was a friar told me of this man. |
Sirrah, thou art said to have a stubborn soul. |
That apprehends no further than this world, |
And squarest thy life according. Thou'rt condemn'd: |
But, for those earthly faults, I quit them all; |
And pray thee take this mercy to provide |
For better times to come. Friar, advise him; |
I leave him to your hand. What muffled fellow's that? |
Provost: |
This is another prisoner that I saved. |
Who should have died when Claudio lost his head; |
As like almost to Claudio as himself. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
LUCIO: |
'Faith, my lord. I spoke it but according to the |
trick. If you will hang me for it, you may; but I |
had rather it would please you I might be whipt. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Whipt first, sir, and hanged after. |
Proclaim it, provost, round about the city. |
Is any woman wrong'd by this lewd fellow, |
As I have heard him swear himself there's one |
Whom he begot with child, let her appear, |
And he shall marry her: the nuptial finish'd, |
Let him be whipt and hang'd. |
LUCIO: |
I beseech your highness, do not marry me to a whore. |
Your highness said even now, I made you a duke: |
good my lord, do not recompense me in making me a cuckold. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Upon mine honour, thou shalt marry her. |
Thy slanders I forgive; and therewithal |
Remit thy other forfeits. Take him to prison; |
And see our pleasure herein executed. |
LUCIO: |
Marrying a punk, my lord, is pressing to death, |
whipping, and hanging. |
DUKE VINCENTIO: |
Slandering a prince deserves it. |
She, Claudio, that you wrong'd, look you restore. |
Joy to you, Mariana! Love her, Angelo: |
I have confess'd her and I know her virtue. |
Thanks, good friend Escalus, for thy much goodness: |
There's more behind that is more gratulate. |
Thanks, provost, for thy care and secrecy: |
We shill employ thee in a worthier place. |
Forgive him, Angelo, that brought you home |
The head of Ragozine for Claudio's: |
The offence pardons itself. Dear Isabel, |
I have a motion much imports your good; |
Whereto if you'll a willing ear incline, |
What's mine is yours and what is yours is mine. |
So, bring us to our palace; where we'll show |
What's yet behind, that's meet you all should know. |
SLY: |
I'll pheeze you, in faith. |
Hostess: |
A pair of stocks, you rogue! |
SLY: |
