my lord�察�be good to me�察�your honour is accounted a merciful man�察�good
my lord。 ESCALUS。 Double and treble admonition�察�and still forfeit in the
same kind� �This would make mercy swear and play the tyrant。 PROVOST。
A bawd of eleven years' continuance�察 �may it please your honour。 MRS。
OVERDONE。 My lord�察 �this is one Lucio's information against me。
Mistress Kate Keepdown was with child by him in the Duke's time�察 �he
promis'd her marriage。 His child is a year and a quarter old come Philip
and Jacob�察�I have kept it myself�察�and see how he goes about to abuse me。
ESCALUS。 That fellow is a fellow of much license。 Let him be call'd
before us。 Away with her to prison。 Go to�察 �no more words。 ��Exeunt
OFFICERS with MISTRESS OVERDONE�А�Provost�察�my brother Angelo
will not be alter'd�此�Claudio must die to´morrow。 Let him be furnish'd with
divines�察�and have all charitable preparation。 If my brother wrought by my
pity�察 �it should not be so with him。 PROVOST。 So please you�察 �this friar
hath been with him�察 �and advis'd him for th' entertainment of death。
ESCALUS。 Good even�察�good father。 DUKE。 Bliss and goodness on you� �
ESCALUS。 Of whence are you�拭�DUKE。 Not of this country�察�though my
chance is now To use it for my time。 I am a brother Of gracious order�察�late
come from the See In special business from his Holiness。 ESCALUS。
What news abroad i' th' world�拭�DUKE。 None�察�but that there is so great a
fever on goodness that the dissolution of it must cure it。 Novelty is only in
request�察�and�察�as it is�察�as dangerous to be aged in any kind of course as it is
virtuous to be constant in any undertaking。 There is scarce truth enough
alive to make societies secure�察 �but security enough to make fellowships
accurst。 Much upon this riddle runs the wisdom of the world。 This news is
old enough�察�yet it is every day's news。 I pray you�察�sir�察�of what disposition
was the Duke�拭 �ESCALUS。 One that�察 �above all other strifes�察 �contended
especially to know himself。 DUKE。 What pleasure was he given to�拭�
ESCALUS。 Rather rejoicing to see another merry than merry at anything
which profess'd to make him rejoice�察�a gentleman of all temperance。 But
leave we him to his events�察�with a prayer they may prove prosperous�察�and
let me desire to know how you find Claudio prepar'd。 I am made to
understand that you have lent him visitation。 DUKE。 He professes to have
received no sinister measure from his judge�察�but most willingly humbles

himself to the determination of justice。 Yet had he framed to himself�察�by
the instruction of his frailty�察�many deceiving promises of life�察�which I�察�by
my good leisure�察�have discredited to him�察�and now he is resolv'd to die。
ESCALUS。 You have paid the heavens your function�察�and the prisoner the
very debt of your calling。 I have labour'd for the poor gentleman to the
extremest shore of my modesty�察 �but my brother justice have I found so
severe that he hath forc'd me to tell him he is indeed Justice。 DUKE。 If his
own life answer the straitness of his proceeding�察�it shall become him well�察�
wherein if he chance to fail�察�he hath sentenc'd himself。 ESCALUS。 I am
going to visit the prisoner。 Fare you well。 DUKE。 Peace be with you� �
Exeunt ESCALUS and PROVOST
He who the sword of heaven will bear Should be as holy as severe�察�
Pattern in himself to know�察�Grace to stand�察�and virtue go�察�More nor less to
others paying Than by self´offences weighing。 Shame to him whose cruel
striking Kills for faults of his own liking� �Twice treble shame on Angelo�察�
To weed my vice and let his grow� �O�察 �what may man within him hide�察�
Though angel on the outward side� �How may likeness�察 �made in crimes�察�
Make a practice on the times�察 �To draw with idle spiders' strings Most
ponderous and substantial things� �Craft against vice I must apply。 With
Angelo to´night shall lie His old betrothed but despised�察�So disguise shall�察�
by th' disguised�察 �Pay with falsehood false exacting�察�And perform an old
contracting。 Exit

Scene I。 The moated grange at Saint Duke's
Enter MARIANA�察�and BOY singing
SONG
Take�察�O�察�take those lips away�察�That so sweetly were forsworn�察�And
those eyes�察 �the break of day�察 �Lights that do mislead the morn�察 �But my
kisses bring again�察�bring again�察�Seals of love�察�but seal'd in vain�察�seal'd in
vain。
Enter DUKE�察�disguised as before
MARIANA。 Break off thy song�察 �and haste thee quick away�察 �Here
comes a man of comfort�察 �whose advice Hath often still'd my brawling
discontent。 Exit BOY I cry you mercy�察�sir�察�and well could wish You had
not found me here so musical。 Let me excuse me�察�and believe me so�察�My
mirth it much displeas'd�察�but pleas'd my woe。 DUKE。 'Tis good�察 �though
music oft hath such a charm To make bad good and good provoke to harm。
I pray you tell me hath anybody inquir'd for me here to´day。 Much upon
this time have I promis'd here to meet。 MARIANA。 You have not been
inquir'd after�察�I have sat here all day。
Enter ISABELLA
DUKE。 I do constantly believe you。 The time is come even now。 I
shall crave your forbearance a little。 May be I will call upon you anon�察�for
some advantage to yourself。 MARIANA。 I am always bound to you。 Exit
DUKE。 Very well met�察�and well come。 What is the news from this good
deputy�拭 �ISABELLA。 He hath a garden circummur'd with brick�察 �Whose
western side is with a vineyard back'd�察�And to that vineyard is a planched
gate That makes his opening with this bigger key�察 �This other doth
command a little door Which from the vineyard to the garden leads。 There
have I made my promise Upon the heavy middle of the night To call upon
him。 DUKE。 But shall you on your knowledge find this way�拭�ISABELLA。
I have ta'en a due and wary note upon't�察�With whispering and most guilty
diligence�察 �In action all of precept�察 �he did show me The way twice o'er。
DUKE。 Are there no other tokens Between you 'greed concerning her
observance�拭�ISABELLA。 No�察�none�察�but only a repair i' th' dark�察�And that I
have possess'd him my most stay Can be but brief�察�for I have made him
know I have a servant comes with me along�察�That stays upon me�察�whose
