Text Appearing Before Image:
fit. Nay, friar, I am a kind of burr; I shall stick. (^Exeunt. Scene IV.—Enter Angelo and Escalus. Escal. Every letter he hath writ hath disvouchdother. Anz. In most uneven and distracted manner. Hisactions show much like to madness. Pray Heaven hiswisdom be not tainted ! And why meet him at thegates, and re-deliver our authorities there ? Escal. I guess not. Aug. And why should we proclaim it in an hour be-fore his entering, that if any crave redress of injustice,they should exhibit their petitions in the street.? Escal. He shows his reason for that: to have a de-spatch of complaints, and to deliver us from devices here-after, which shall then have no power to stand againstus. Aug. Well, I beseech you, let it be proclaimd.Betimes i the morn Ill call you at your house.Give notice to such men of sort and suitAs are to meet him. Escal. I shall, sir : fare you well. \^Exit. Aug. Good-night.—This deed unshapes me quite, makes me unpregnantAnd dull to all proceedings. A deflowerd maid!
Text Appearing After Image:
MEASURE FOR MEASURE 65 And by an eminent body that enforced The law against it! But that her tender shame Will not proclaim against her maiden loss, How might she tongue me ? Yet reason dares her ?— no :For my authority bears a credent bulkThat no particular scandal once can touchBut it confounds the breather. He should have lived,Save that his riotous youth, with dangerous sense.Might in the times to come have taen revengeBy so receiving a dishonoured lifeWith ransom of such shame. Would yet he had lived !Alack, when once our grace we have forgot.Nothing goes right; we would, and we would not. \Exit. Scene V.—Enter Duke, in his own habit, and Friar Peter. Duke. The letters at fit time deliver me. \ Giving letters.The Provost knows our purpose and our plot.The matter being afoot, keep your instruction,And hold you ever to our special drift;Though sometimes you do blench from this to that.As cause doth minister. Go, call at Flavins house,And tell him where I stay ; give the like no
