Re´enter MARIANA
I pray you be acquainted with this maid�察�She comes to do you good。
ISABELLA。 I do desire the like。 DUKE。 Do you persuade yourself that I
respect you�拭�MARIANA。 Good friar�察�I know you do�察�and have found it。
DUKE。 Take�察 �then�察 �this your companion by the hand�察�Who hath a story
ready for your ear。 I shall attend your leisure�察 �but make haste�察 �The
vaporous night approaches。 MARIANA。 Will't please you walk aside�拭�
Exeunt MARIANA and ISABELLA DUKE。 O place and greatness� �
Millions of false eyes Are stuck upon thee。 Volumes of report Run with
these false�察 �and most contrarious quest Upon thy doings。 Thousand
escapes of wit Make thee the father of their idle dream�察�And rack thee in
their fancies。
Re´enter MARIANA and ISABELLA
Welcome�察�how agreed�拭 �ISABELLA。 She'll take the enterprise upon
her�察�father�察�If you advise it。 DUKE。 It is not my consent�察�But my entreaty
too。 ISABELLA。 Little have you to say�察�When you depart from him�察�but�察�
soft and low�察 �'Remember now my brother。' MARIANA。 Fear me not。
DUKE。 Nor�察�gentle daughter�察�fear you not at all。 He is your husband on a
pre´contract。 To bring you thus together 'tis no sin�察�Sith that the justice of
your title to him Doth flourish the deceit。 Come�察�let us go�察�Our corn's to
reap�察�for yet our tithe's to sow。 Exeunt

SCENE II。 The prison
Enter PROVOST and POMPEY
PROVOST。 Come hither�察 �sirrah。 Can you cut off a man's head�拭�
POMPEY。 If the man be a bachelor�察�sir�察�I can�察�but if he be a married man�察�
he's his wife's head�察�and I can never cut of a woman's head。 PROVOST。
Come�察 �sir�察 �leave me your snatches and yield me a direct answer。 To´
morrow morning are to die Claudio and Barnardine。 Here is in our prison a
common executioner�察�who in his office lacks a helper�察�if you will take it
on you to assist him�察�it shall redeem you from your gyves�察�if not�察�you shall
have your full time of imprisonment�察 �and your deliverance with an
unpitied whipping�察�for you have been a notorious bawd。 POMPEY。 Sir�察�I
have been an unlawful bawd time out of mind�察�but yet I will be content to
be a lawful hangman。 I would be glad to receive some instructions from
my fellow partner。 PROVOST。 What ho�察 �Abhorson� �Where's Abhorson

Enter ABHORSON
ABHORSON。 Do you call�察 �sir�拭 �PROVOST。 Sirrah�察 �here's a fellow
will help you to´morrow in your execution。 If you think it meet�察�compound
with him by the year�察�and let him abide here with you�察�if not�察�use him for
the present�察�and dismiss him。 He cannot plead his estimation with you�察�he
hath been a bawd。 ABHORSON。 A bawd�察 �sir�拭 �Fie upon him� �He will
discredit our mystery。 PROVOST。 Go to�察�sir�察�you weigh equally�察�a feather
will turn the scale。 Exit POMPEY。 Pray�察 �sir�察 �by your good favour´ for
surely�察�sir�察�a good favour you have but that you have a hanging look´ do
you call�察�sir�察�your occupation a mystery�拭�ABHORSON。 Ay�察�sir�察�a mystery。
POMPEY。 Painting�察�sir�察�I have heard say�察�is a mystery�察�and your whores�察�
sir�察 �being members of my occupation�察 �using painting�察 �do prove my
occupation a mystery�察�but what mystery there should be in hanging�察�if I
should be hang'd�察 �I cannot imagine。 ABHORSON。 Sir�察 �it is a mystery。
POMPEY。 Proof�拭�ABHORSON。 Every true man's apparel fits your thief�此�
if it be too little for your thief�察�your true man thinks it big enough�察�if it be
too big for your thief�察�your thief thinks it little enough�察�so every true man's
apparel fits your thief。

Re´enter PROVOST
PROVOST。 Are you agreed�拭�POMPEY。 Sir�察�I will serve him�察�for I do
find your hangman is a more penitent trade than your bawd�察 �he doth
oftener ask forgiveness。 PROVOST。 You�察�sirrah�察�provide your block and
your axe to´morrow four o'clock。 ABHORSON。 Come on�察 �bawd�察 �I will
instruct thee in my trade�察�follow。 POMPEY。 I do desire to learn�察�sir�察�and I
hope�察�if you have occasion to use me for your own turn�察�you shall find me
yare�察�for truly�察�sir�察�for your kindness I owe you a good turn。 PROVOST。
Call hither Barnardine and Claudio。 Exeunt ABHORSON and POMPEY
Th' one has my pity�察�not a jot the other�察�Being a murderer�察�though he were
my brother。
Enter CLAUDIO
Look�察 �here's the warrant�察 �Claudio�察 �for thy death�察 �'Tis now dead
midnight�察�and by eight to´morrow Thou must be made immortal。 Where's
Barnardine�拭 �CLAUDIO。 As fast lock'd up in sleep as guiltless labour
When it lies starkly in the traveller's bones。 He will not wake。 PROVOST。
Who can do good on him�拭�Well�察�go�察�prepare yourself。 ��Knocking within�А�
But hark�察�what noise�拭�Heaven give your spirits comfort� �Exit CLAUDIO
��Knocking continues�А�By and by。 I hope it is some pardon or reprieve For
the most gentle Claudio。
Enter DUKE�察�disguised as before
Welcome�察 �father。 DUKE。 The best and wholesom'st spirits of the
night Envelop you�察 �good Provost� �Who call'd here of late�拭 �PROVOST。
None�察�since the curfew rung。 DUKE。 Not Isabel�拭�PROVOST。 No。 DUKE。
They will then�察 �ere't be long。 PROVOST。 What comfort is for Claudio�拭�
DUKE。 There's some in hope。 PROVOST。 It is a bitter deputy。 DUKE。 Not
so�察�not so�察�his life is parallel'd Even with the stroke and line of his great
justice�察 �He doth with holy abstinence subdue That in himself which he
spurs on his pow'r To qualify in others。 Were he meal'd with that Which he
corrects�察�then were he tyrannous�察�But this being so�察�he's just。 ��Knocking
within�А �Now are they come。 Exit PROVOST This is a gentle provost�察�
seldom when The steeled gaoler is the friend of men。 ��Knocking within�А�
How now�察�what noise� �That spirit's possess'd with haste That wounds th'
unsisting postern with these strokes。

dawning�察�Provost�察�as it is�察�You shall hear more ere morning。 PROVOST。
Happily You something know�察�yet I believe there comes No countermand�察�
no such example have we。 Besides�察�upon the very siege of justice�察�Lord
Angelo hath to the public ear Profess'd the contrary。
Enter a MESSENGER This is his lordship's man。 DUKE。 And here
comes Claudio's pardon。 MESSENGER。 My lord hath sent you this note�察�
and by me this further charge�察 �that you swerve not from the smallest
article of it�察�neither in time�察�matter�察�or other circumstance。 Good morrow�察�
for as I take it�察 �it is almost day。 PROVOST。 I shall obey him。 Exit
MESSENGER DUKE。 ��Aside�А�This is his pardon�察�purchas'd by such sin
For which the pardoner himself is in�察�Hence hath offence his quick celerity�察�
When it is borne in high authority。 When vice makes mercy�察 �mercy's so
extended That for the fault's love is th' offender friended。 Now�察�sir�察�what
