       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

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。

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

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

       PROVOST。 There he must stay until the officer Arise to let him in�察�he

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 

news�拭�PROVOST。 I told you�此�Lord Angelo�察�belike thinking me remiss in 

mine     office�察  �awakens     me    with    this  unwonted      putting´on�察   �methinks 

strangely�察  �for   he   hath  not   us'd   it   before。  DUKE。   Pray   you�察  �let's  hear。 

PROVOST。 ��Reads�А�'Whatsoever you may hear to the contrary�察�let Claudio 

be executed by four   of the   clock�察 �and�察�in   the afternoon�察 �Barnardine。  For 

my better satisfaction�察�let me have Claudio's head sent me by five。 Let this 

be duly performed�察�with a thought that more depends on it than we must 

yet deliver。 Thus fail not to do your office�察�as you will answer it at your 

peril。' What say you to this�察�sir�拭�DUKE。 What is that Barnardine who is to 

be   executed   in   th'   afternoon�拭  �PROVOST。   A   Bohemian   born�察  �but   here 

nurs'd   up   and   bred。   One   that   is   a   prisoner   nine   years   old。   DUKE。   How 

came it that the absent Duke had not either deliver'd him to his liberty or 

executed him�拭�I have heard it was ever his manner to do so。 PROVOST。 

His friends still wrought reprieves for him�察�and�察�indeed�察�his fact�察�till now 

in   the   government     of   Lord  Angelo�察  �came   not     to  an  undoubted     proof。

he    to  be  touch'd�拭   �PROVOST。        A   man   that  apprehends      death   no   more 

dreadfully   but     as  a  drunken     sleep�察 �careless�察  �reckless�察   �and   fearless�察 �of 

what's   past�察  �present�察  �or   to   come�察  �insensible   of   mortality   and   desperately 

mortal。 DUKE。 He wants advice。 PROVOST。 He will hear none。 He hath 

evermore had the liberty of the prison�察�give him leave to escape hence�察�he 

would not�察�drunk many times a day�察�if not many days entirely drunk。 We 

have very oft awak'd him�察�as if to carry him to execution�察�and show'd him 

a seeming warrant for it�察�it hath not moved him at all。 DUKE。 More of him 

anon。 There is written in your brow�察�Provost�察�honesty and constancy。 If I 

read it not truly�察�my ancient skill beguiles me�察�but in the boldness of my 

cunning I will lay myself in hazard。 Claudio�察�whom here you have warrant 

to execute�察�is no greater forfeit to the law than Angelo who hath sentenc'd 

him。 To make you understand this in a manifested effect�察�I crave but four 

days'    respite�察  �for  the  which    you    are  to  do   me   both   a  present    and   a 

dangerous courtesy。 PROVOST。 Pray�察�sir�察�in what�拭�DUKE。 In the delaying 

death。 PROVOST。 Alack� �How may I do it�察�having the hour limited�察�and 

an   express   command�察  �under   penalty�察  �to   deliver   his   head   in   the   view   of 

Angelo�拭�I may make my case as Claudio's�察�to cross this in the smallest。 

DUKE。 By the vow of mine order�察�I warrant you�察�if my instructions may 

be your guide。 Let this Barnardine be this morning executed�察�and his head 

borne     to  Angelo。    PROVOST。        Angelo     hath   seen   them    both�察  �and   will 

discover the favour。 DUKE。 O�察�death's a great disguiser�察�and you may add 

to it。   Shave   the   head   and   tie the   beard�察  �and   say  it   was   the desire   of   the 

penitent to be so bar'd before his death。 You know the course is common。 

If anything fall to you upon this more than thanks and good fortune�察�by the 

saint   whom   I   profess�察  �I   will   plead   against   it   with   my   life。   PROVOST。 

Pardon me�察�good father�察�it is against my oath。 DUKE。 Were you sworn to 

the   Duke�察  �or   to   the   deputy�拭  �PROVOST。   To   him   and   to   his   substitutes。 

DUKE。 You will think you have made no offence if the Duke avouch the 

justice of your dealing�拭�PROVOST。 But what likelihood is in that�拭�DUKE。 

Not a resemblance�察�but a certainty。 Yet since I see you fearful�察�that neither 

my   coat�察  �integrity�察  �nor   persuasion�察  �can   with   ease   attempt   you�察  �I   will   go 

further than I meant�察�to pluck all fears out of you。 Look you�察�sir�察�here is the 

hand and seal of the Duke。 You know the character�察�I doubt not�察�and the

signet is not strange to you。 PROVOST。 I know them both。 DUKE。 The 

contents of this is the return of the Duke�察�you shall anon over´read it at 

your pleasure�察�where you shall find within these two days he will be here。 

This is a thing that Angelo knows not�察�for he this very day receives letters 

of strange tenour�察�perchance of the Duke's death�察�perchance entering into 

some     monastery�察    �but�察 �by   chance�察   �nothing    of  what   is  writ。  Look�察   �th' 

unfolding star calls up the shepherd。 Put not yourself into amazement how 

these things should be�此�all difficulties are but easy when they are known。 

Call your   executioner�察�and off with   Barnardine's head。 I   will give   him  a 

present shrift�察�and advise him for a better place。 Yet you are amaz'd�察�but 

this   shall   absolutely   resolve   you。   Come   away�察  �it   is   almost   clear   dawn。

ginger was not much in request�察�for the old women were all dead。 Then is
