IV.

ISABELLA's second interview with ANGELO.

"ANG. Plainly conceive, I love you.

ISAB. My brother did love Juliet; And you tell me that he shall die for it.

ANG. He shall not, Isabel, if you give me love. ISAB. I know, your virtue hath a licence in it, Which seems a little fouler than it is,

To pluck on others.

ANG. Believe me, on mine honour,

My words express my purpose.

ISAB. Ha! little honour to be much believed,

And most pernicious purpose! Seeming, seeming!—
I will proclaim thee, Angelo.”

Oh, faithless coward! Oh, dishonest wretch!

Die !-perish! Might but my bending down
Reprieve thee from thy fate, it should proceed:
I'll pray a thousand prayers for thy death,
No word to save thee."

ACT III. S. 1.

(The Duke, disguised as a friar, about to enter the cell,

VI.

The Duke proposing to MARIANA to take the place of ISABEL, and to meet ANGELO.

"DUKE. I pray you, be acquainted with this maid; She comes to do you good.

ISAB. She'll take the enterprise upon her, father,

If you advise it.

"DUKE.

We shall advise this wronged maid

to stead up your appointment, join your place."

ACT III. S. 1.

VIII.

The Duke persuading the Provost to send the head of BARNARDINE to ANGELO, instead of the head of CLAUDIO.

"DUKE. By the vow of mine order, I warrant you, if my instructions may be your guide. Let this Barnardine be this morning executed, and his head borne to Angelo. I will go further than I meant, to pluck all fears out of you. Look you, sir, here is the hand and seal of the Duke."

"PRO.

ACT IV. S. 2.

Here in the prison, father,

There died this morning, of a cruel fever,

One Ragozine, a most notorious pirate,

A man of Claudio's years; his beard, and head,
Just of his colour. What, if we do omit
This reprobate, till he were well inclined;
And satisfy the deputy with the visage
Of Ragozine, more like to Claudio."

ACT IV. S. 3.

The dead body of RAGOZINE is seen through the open door of his cell. ABHORSON is instructing the Clown in the "mysteries" of execution.

XII.

The Duke, having passed sentence upon ANGELO, pardoned CLAUDIO, and offered his hand to ISABEL, orders LUCIO to marry MRS. KATE KEEPDOWN, who"was with child by him in the Duke's time; he promised her marriage: his child is a year and a quarter old, come Philip and Jacob."

ACT III. S. 2.

"DUKE (to ANG.) Go, take her (Mariana) hence, and marry her instantly.

Do you the office, friar; which consummate,

Return him here again.

The Provost unmuffles the prisoner that he saved,

That should have died when Claudio lost his head;

As like almost to Claudio, as himself.

DUKE. If he be like your brother, (TO ISAB.) for his sake Is he pardon'd; and for your lovely sake,

Give me your hand, and say, you will be mine,

He is my brother too.

To LUCIO.

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."
