our compell'd sins Stand more for number than for accompt。 ISABELLA。
How say you�拭 �ANGELO。 Nay�察 �I'll not warrant that�察 �for I can speak
Against the thing I say。 Answer to this�此�I�察�now the voice of the recorded
law�察 �Pronounce a sentence on your brother's life�察 �Might there not be a
charity in sin To save this brother's life�拭�ISABELLA。 Please you to do't�察�
I'll take it as a peril to my soul It is no sin at all�察�but charity。 ANGELO。
Pleas'd you to do't at peril of your soul�察�Were equal poise of sin and charity。
ISABELLA。 That I do beg his life�察�if it be sin�察�Heaven let me bear it� �You
granting of my suit�察�If that be sin�察�I'll make it my morn prayer To have it
added to the faults of mine�察�And nothing of your answer。 ANGELO。 Nay�察�
but hear me�察�Your sense pursues not mine�察�either you are ignorant Or seem
so�察�craftily�察�and that's not good。 ISABELLA。 Let me be ignorant�察�and in
nothing good But graciously to know I am no better。 ANGELO。 Thus
wisdom wishes to appear most bright When it doth tax itself�察 �as these
black masks Proclaim an enshielded beauty ten times louder Than beauty
could�察�display'd。 But mark me�此�To be received plain�察�I'll speak more gross´
Your brother is to die。 ISABELLA。 So。 ANGELO。 And his offence is so�察�
as it appears�察 �Accountant to the law upon that pain。 ISABELLA。 True。
ANGELO。 Admit no other way to save his life�察�As I subscribe not that�察�nor
any other�察�But�察�in the loss of question�察�that you�察�his sister�察�Finding yourself
desir'd of such a person Whose credit with the judge�察�or own great place�察�
Could fetch your brother from the manacles Of the all´binding law�察 �and
that there were No earthly mean to save him but that either You must lay
down the treasures of your body To this supposed�察�or else to let him suffer´
What would you do�拭�ISABELLA。 As much for my poor brother as myself�察�
That is�察�were I under the terms of death�察�Th' impression of keen whips I'd
wear as rubies�察�And strip myself to death as to a bed That longing have
been sick for�察�ere I'd yield My body up to shame。 ANGELO。 Then must

your brother die。 ISABELLA。 And 'twere the cheaper way�此�Better it were
a brother died at once Than that a sister�察�by redeeming him�察�Should die for
ever。 ANGELO。 Were not you�察 �then�察 �as cruel as the sentence That you
have slander'd so�拭�ISABELLA。 Ignominy in ransom and free pardon Are
of two houses�此�lawful mercy Is nothing kin to foul redemption。 ANGELO。
You seem'd of late to make the law a tyrant�察�And rather prov'd the sliding
of your brother A merriment than a vice。 ISABELLA。 O�察�pardon me�察�my
lord� �It oft falls out�察�To have what we would have�察�we speak not what we
mean�此 �I something do excuse the thing I hate For his advantage that I
dearly love。 ANGELO。 We are all frail。 ISABELLA。 Else let my brother
die�察�If not a fedary but only he Owe and succeed thy weakness。 ANGELO。
Nay�察�women are frail too。 ISABELLA。 Ay�察�as the glasses where they view
themselves�察�Which are as easy broke as they make forms。 Women�察 �help
heaven� �Men their creation mar In profiting by them。 Nay�察 �call us ten
times frail�察�For we are soft as our complexions are�察�And credulous to false
prints。 ANGELO。 I think it well�察�And from this testimony of your own sex�察�
Since I suppose we are made to be no stronger Than faults may shake our
frames�察�let me be bold。 I do arrest your words。 Be that you are�察�That is�察�a
woman�察 �if you be more�察 �you're none�察 �If you be one�察 �as you are well
express'd By all external warrants�察�show it now By putting on the destin'd
livery。 ISABELLA。 I have no tongue but one�察 �gentle�察 �my lord�察 �Let me
intreat you speak the former language。 ANGELO。 Plainly conceive�察�I love
you。 ISABELLA。 My brother did love Juliet�察�And you tell me that he shall
die for't。 ANGELO。 He shall not�察�Isabel�察�if you give me love。 ISABELLA。
I know your virtue hath a license in't�察�Which seems a little fouler than it is�察�
To pluck on others。 ANGELO。 Believe me�察 �on mine honour�察 �My words
express my purpose。 ISABELLA。 Ha� �little honour to be much believ'd�察�
And most pernicious purpose� �Seeming�察 �seeming� �I will proclaim thee�察�
Angelo�察�look for't。 Sign me a present pardon for my brother Or�察�with an
outstretch'd throat�察�I'll tell the world aloud What man thou art。 ANGELO。
Who will believe thee�察 �Isabel�拭 �My unsoil'd name�察 �th' austereness of my
life�察 �My vouch against you�察 �and my place i' th' state�察 �Will so your
accusation overweigh That you shall stifle in your own report�察�And smell
of calumny。 I have begun�察�And now I give my sensual race the rein�此�Fit thy

consent to my sharp appetite�察 �Lay by all nicety and prolixious blushes
That banish what they sue for�察�redeem thy brother By yielding up thy body
to my will�察 �Or else he must not only die the death�察 �But thy unkindness
shall his death draw out To ling'ring sufferance。 Answer me to´morrow�察�Or�察�
by the affection that now guides me most�察�I'll prove a tyrant to him。 As for
you�察�Say what you can�此�my false o'erweighs your true。 Exit ISABELLA。
To whom should I complain�拭�Did I tell this�察�Who would believe me�拭�O
perilous mouths That bear in them one and the self´same tongue Either of
condemnation or approof�察 �Bidding the law make curtsy to their will�察�
Hooking both right and wrong to th' appetite�察�To follow as it draws� �I'll to
my brother。 Though he hath fall'n by prompture of the blood�察�Yet hath he
in him such a mind of honour That�察�had he twenty heads to tender down
On twenty bloody blocks�察�he'd yield them up Before his sister should her
body stoop To such abhorr'd pollution。 Then�察 �Isabel�察 �live chaste�察 �and�察�

Angelo's request�察�And fit his mind to death�察�for his soul's rest。 Exit
