       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。

       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

       PROVOST。 Are you agreed�拭�POMPEY。 Sir�察�I will serve him�察�for I do
