How now� �what's the news with you�拭 �POMPEY。 Yonder man is

OVERDONE。 But shall all our houses of resort in the suburbs be pull'd
down�拭 �POMPEY。 To the ground�察 �mistress。 MRS。 OVERDONE。 Why�察�
here's a change indeed in the commonwealth� �What shall become of me�拭�
POMPEY。 Come�察�fear not you�此�good counsellors lack no clients。 Though
you change your place you need not change your trade�察�I'll be your tapster
still。 Courage�察�there will be pity taken on you�察�you that have worn your
eyes almost out in the service�察�you will be considered。 MRS。 OVERDONE。
What's to do here�察 �Thomas Tapster�拭 �Let's withdraw。 POMPEY。 Here
comes Signior Claudio�察�led by the provost to prison�察�and there's Madam
Juliet。 Exeunt
Enter PROVOST�察 �CLAUDIO�察 �JULIET�察 �and OFFICERS�察 �LUCIO
following
CLAUDIO。 Fellow�察�why dost thou show me thus to th' world�拭�Bear
me to prison�察 �where I am committed。 PROVOST。 I do it not in evil
disposition�察 �But from Lord Angelo by special charge。 CLAUDIO。 Thus
can the demigod Authority Make us pay down for our offence by weight
The words of heaven�此�on whom it will�察�it will�察�On whom it will not�察�so�察�yet
still 'tis just。 LUCIO。 Why�察�how now�察�Claudio�察�whence comes this restraint�拭�
CLAUDIO。 From too much liberty�察 �my Lucio�察 �liberty�察�As surfeit is the
father of much fast�察 �So every scope by the immoderate use Turns to
restraint。 Our natures do pursue�察 �Like rats that ravin down their proper
bane�察�A thirsty evil�察�and when we drink we die。 LUCIO。 If I could speak
so wisely under an arrest�察�I would send for certain of my creditors�察�and yet�察�
to say the truth�察�I had as lief have the foppery of freedom as the morality
of imprisonment。 What's thy offence�察 �Claudio�拭 �CLAUDIO。 What but to
speak of would offend again。 LUCIO。 What�察�is't murder�拭�CLAUDIO。 No。
LUCIO。 Lechery�拭�CLAUDIO。 Call it so。 PROVOST。 Away�察�sir�察�you must
go。 CLAUDIO。 One word�察�good friend。 Lucio�察�a word with you。 LUCIO。
A hundred�察 �if they'll do you any good。 Is lechery so look'd after�拭�
CLAUDIO。 Thus stands it with me�此�upon a true contract I got possession
of Julietta's bed。 You know the lady�察�she is fast my wife�察�Save that we do
the denunciation lack Of outward order�察 �this we came not to�察 �Only for
propagation of a dow'r Remaining in the coffer of her friends。 From whom
we thought it meet to hide our love Till time had made them for us。 But it

chances The stealth of our most mutual entertainment�察�With character too
gross�察 �is writ on Juliet。 LUCIO。 With child�察 �perhaps�拭 �CLAUDIO。
Unhappily�察�even so。 And the new deputy now for the Duke´ Whether it be
the fault and glimpse of newness�察�Or whether that the body public be A
horse whereon the governor doth ride�察�Who�察�newly in the seat�察�that it may
know He can command�察�lets it straight feel the spur�察�Whether the tyranny
be in his place�察�Or in his eminence that fills it up�察�I stagger in。 But this new
governor Awakes me all the enrolled penalties Which have�察�like unscour'd
armour�察�hung by th' wall So long that nineteen zodiacs have gone round
And none of them been worn�察�and�察�for a name�察�Now puts the drowsy and
neglected act Freshly on me。 'Tis surely for a name。 LUCIO。 I warrant it is�察�
and thy head stands so tickle on thy shoulders that a milkmaid�察�if she be in
love�察�may sigh it off。 Send after the Duke�察�and appeal to him。 CLAUDIO。
I have done so�察�but he's not to be found。 I prithee�察�Lucio�察�do me this kind
service�此�This day my sister should the cloister enter�察�And there receive her
approbation�察�Acquaint her with the danger of my state�察�Implore her�察�in my
voice�察�that she make friends To the strict deputy�察�bid herself assay him。 I
have great hope in that�察�for in her youth There is a prone and speechless
dialect Such as move men�察�beside�察�she hath prosperous art When she will
play with reason and discourse�察�And well she can persuade。 LUCIO。 I pray
she may�察 �as well for the encouragement of the like�察 �which else would
stand under grievous imposition�察 �as for the enjoying of thy life�察 �who I
would be sorry should be thus foolishly lost at a game of tick´tack。 I'll to
her。 CLAUDIO。 I thank you�察�good friend Lucio。 LUCIO。 Within two hours。

SCENE III。 A monastery
Enter DUKE and FRIAR THOMAS
DUKE。 No�察�holy father�察�throw away that thought�察�Believe not that the
dribbling dart of love Can pierce a complete bosom。 Why I desire thee To
give me secret harbour hath a purpose More grave and wrinkled than the
aims and ends Of burning youth。 FRIAR。 May your Grace speak of it�拭�
DUKE。 My holy sir�察�none better knows than you How I have ever lov'd
the life removed�察�And held in idle price to haunt assemblies Where youth�察�
and cost�察�a witless bravery keeps。 I have deliver'd to Lord Angelo�察�A man
of stricture and firm abstinence�察 �My absolute power and place here in
Vienna�察�And he supposes me travell'd to Poland�察�For so I have strew'd it in
the common ear�察�And so it is received。 Now�察�pious sir�察�You will demand of
me why I do this。 FRIAR。 Gladly�察�my lord。 DUKE。 We have strict statutes
and most biting laws�察 �The needful bits and curbs to headstrong steeds�察�
Which for this fourteen years we have let sleep�察�Even like an o'ergrown
lion in a cave�察 �That goes not out to prey。 Now�察 �as fond fathers�察 �Having
bound up the threat'ning twigs of birch�察�Only to stick it in their children's
sight For terror�察 �not to use�察 �in time the rod Becomes more mock'd than
fear'd�察 �so our decrees�察 �Dead to infliction�察 �to themselves are dead�察 �And
liberty plucks justice by the nose�察 �The baby beats the nurse�察 �and quite
athwart Goes all decorum。 FRIAR。 It rested in your Grace To unloose this
tied´up justice when you pleas'd�察�And it in you more dreadful would have
seem'd Than in Lord Angelo。 DUKE。 I do fear�察�too dreadful。 Sith 'twas my
fault to give the people scope�察�'Twould be my tyranny to strike and gall
them For what I bid them do�察�for we bid this be done�察�When evil deeds
have their permissive pass And not the punishment。 Therefore�察�indeed�察�my
father�察�I have on Angelo impos'd the office�察�Who may�察�in th' ambush of my
name�察�strike home�察�And yet my nature never in the fight To do in slander。
And to behold his sway�察�I will�察�as 'twere a brother of your order�察�Visit both
prince and people。 Therefore�察 �I prithee�察 �Supply me with the habit�察 �and
instruct me How I may formally in person bear me Like a true friar。 Moe
reasons for this action At our more leisure shall I render you。 Only�察�this
one�此�Lord Angelo is precise�察�Stands at a guard with envy�察�scarce confesses

That his blood flows�察 �or that his appetite Is more to bread than stone。
Hence shall we see�察 �If power change purpose�察 �what our seemers be。

Enter ISABELLA and FRANCISCA
ISABELLA。 And have you nuns no farther privileges�拭�FRANCISCA。
Are not these large enough�拭 �ISABELLA。 Yes�察 �truly�察 �I speak not as
desiring more�察 �But rather wishing a more strict restraint Upon the
sisterhood�察�the votarists of Saint Clare。 LUCIO。 �А�Within�А�Ho� �Peace be in
this place� �ISABELLA。 Who's that which calls�拭 �FRANCISCA。 It is a
man's voice。 Gentle Isabella�察�Turn you the key�察�and know his business of
him�此�You may�察 �I may not�察 �you are yet unsworn�察�When you have vow'd�察�
you must not speak with men But in the presence of the prioress�察�Then�察�if
you speak�察�you must not show your face�察�Or�察�if you show your face�察�you
must not speak。 He calls again�察�I pray you answer him。 Exit FRANCISCA
