MEASURE FOR MEASURE

Act 4 Scene 5

(Enter the Duke, in his own habit, and Friar Peter)
l1l	Duke	 These letters at fit time deliver me.
l2l		The Provost knows our purpose and our plot.
l3l		The matter being afoot, keep your instruction,
l4l		And hold you ever to our special drift,
l5l		Though sometimes you do blench from this to that
l6l		As cause doth minister. Go call at Flavio’s house,
l7l		And tell him where I stay. Give the like notice
l8l		To Valentinus, Rowland, and to Crassus,
l9l		And bid them bring the trumpets to the gate.
l10l		But send me Flavius first.
	Friar	It shall be speeded well.
		( 10B Exit)
l11l		(Enter Varrius)
		Duke	 I thank thee, Varrius# thou hast made good haste.
l12l		Come, we will walk. There’s other of our friends
l13l		Will greet us here anon. My gentle Varrius!
		(Exeunt)
