ACT IV SCENE VI | Street near the city gate. | |
| Enter ISABELLA and MARIANA. | |
ISABELLA | To speak so indirectly I am loath: | |
| I would say the truth; but to accuse him so, | |
| That is your part: yet I am advised to do it; | |
| He says, to veil full purpose. | 5 |
MARIANA | Be ruled by him. | |
ISABELLA | Besides, he tells me that, if peradventure | |
| He speak against me on the adverse side, | |
| I should not think it strange; for 'tis a physic | |
| That's bitter to sweet end. | 10 |
MARIANA | I would Friar Peter-- | |
ISABELLA | O, peace! the friar is come. | |
| Enter FRIAR PETER. | |
FRIAR PETER | Come, I have found you out a stand most fit, | |
| Where you may have such vantage on the duke, | |
| He shall not pass you. Twice have the trumpets sounded; | 15 |
| The generous and gravest citizens | |
| Have hent the gates, and very near upon | |
| The duke is entering: therefore, hence, away! | |
| Exeunt. | |
