SCENE III。 A prison
Enter�察�severally�察�DUKE�察�disguised as a FRIAR�察�and PROVOST
DUKE。 Hail to you�察�Provost� �so I think you are。 PROVOST。 I am the
Provost。 What's your will�察�good friar�拭�DUKE。 Bound by my charity and
my blest order�察�I come to visit the afflicted spirits Here in the prison。 Do
me the common right To let me see them�察 �and to make me know The
nature of their crimes�察 �that I may minister To them accordingly。
PROVOST。 I would do more than that�察�if more were needful。
Enter JULIET
Look�察�here comes one�察�a gentlewoman of mine�察�Who�察�falling in the
flaws of her own youth�察�Hath blister'd her report。 She is with child�察�And he
that got it�察 �sentenc'd´ a young man More fit to do another such offence
Than die for this。 DUKE。 When must he die�拭�PROVOST。 As I do think�察�
to´morrow。 ��To JULIET�А �I have provided for you�察 �stay awhile And you
shall be conducted。 DUKE。 Repent you�察 �fair one�察 �of the sin you carry�拭�
JULIET。 I do�察 �and bear the shame most patiently。 DUKE。 I'll teach you
how you shall arraign your conscience�察�And try your penitence�察 �if it be
sound Or hollowly put on。 JULIET。 I'll gladly learn。 DUKE。 Love you the
man that wrong'd you�拭 �JULIET。 Yes�察 �as I love the woman that wrong'd
him。 DUKE。 So then�察 �it seems�察 �your most offenceful act Was mutually
committed。 JULIET。 Mutually。 DUKE。 Then was your sin of heavier kind
than his。 JULIET。 I do confess it�察�and repent it�察�father。 DUKE。 'Tis meet so�察�
daughter�察�but lest you do repent As that the sin hath brought you to this
shame�察 �Which sorrow is always toward ourselves�察 �not heaven�察 �Showing
we would not spare heaven as we love it�察�But as we stand in fear´ JULIET。
I do repent me as it is an evil�察�And take the shame with joy。 DUKE。 There
rest。 Your partner�察 �as I hear�察 �must die to´morrow�察�And I am going with
instruction to him。 Grace go with you� �Benedicite� �Exit JULIET。 Must die
to´morrow� �O�察�injurious law�察�That respites me a life whose very comfort Is
still a dying horror� �PROVOST。 'Tis pity of him。 Exeunt

SCENE IV。 ANGELO'S house
Enter ANGELO
ANGELO。 When I would pray and think�察�I think and pray To several
subjects。 Heaven hath my empty words�察�Whilst my invention�察�hearing not
my tongue�察�Anchors on Isabel。 Heaven in my mouth�察�As if I did but only
chew his name�察 �And in my heart the strong and swelling evil Of my
conception。 The state whereon I studied Is�察�like a good thing being often
read�察�Grown sere and tedious�察�yea�察�my gravity�察�Wherein´ let no man hear
me´ I take pride�察�Could I with boot change for an idle plume Which the air
beats for vain。 O place�察�O form�察�How often dost thou with thy case�察�thy
habit�察�Wrench awe from fools�察�and tie the wiser souls To thy false seeming� �
Blood�察�thou art blood。 Let's write 'good angel' on the devil's horn�察�'Tis not
the devil's crest。
Enter SERVANT
How now�察 �who's there�拭 �SERVANT。 One Isabel�察 �a sister�察 �desires
access to you。 ANGELO。 Teach her the way。 ��Exit SERVANT�А�O heavens� �
Why does my blood thus muster to my heart�察�Making both it unable for
itself And dispossessing all my other parts Of necessary fitness�拭�So play
the foolish throngs with one that swoons�察 �Come all to help him�察 �and so
stop the air By which he should revive�察�and even so The general subject to
a well´wish'd king Quit their own part�察�and in obsequious fondness Crowd
to his presence�察�where their untaught love Must needs appear offence。
Enter ISABELLA How now�察 �fair maid�拭�ISABELLA。 I am come to
know your pleasure。 ANGELO。 That you might know it would much
better please me Than to demand what 'tis。 Your brother cannot live。
ISABELLA。 Even so� �Heaven keep your honour� �ANGELO。 Yet may he
live awhile�察 �and�察 �it may be�察 �As long as you or I�察 �yet he must die。
ISABELLA。 Under your sentence�拭�ANGELO。 Yea。 ISABELLA。 When�拭�I
beseech you�察�that in his reprieve�察�Longer or shorter�察�he may be so fitted
That his soul sicken not。 ANGELO。 Ha� �Fie�察�these filthy vices� �It were as
good To pardon him that hath from nature stol'n A man already made�察�as to
remit Their saucy sweetness that do coin heaven's image In stamps that are
forbid�察�'tis all as easy Falsely to take away a life true made As to put metal

in restrained means To make a false one。 ISABELLA。 'Tis set down so in
heaven�察 �but not in earth。 ANGELO。 Say you so�拭�Then I shall pose you
quickly。 Which had you rather´ that the most just law Now took your
brother's life�察 �or�察 �to redeem him�察 �Give up your body to such sweet
uncleanness As she that he hath stain'd�拭 �ISABELLA。 Sir�察 �believe this�此 �I
had rather give my body than my soul。 ANGELO。 I talk not of your soul�察�
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。 ISABE
