Act IV, Scene 6

Street near the city gate.

[Enter ISABELLA and MARIANA]

• Isabella. To speak so indirectly I am loath:
  I would say the truth; but to accuse him so, 2365
  That is your part: yet I am advised to do it;
  He says, to veil full purpose.

• Mariana. Be ruled by him.

• Isabella. Besides, he tells me that, if peradventure
  He speak against me on the adverse side, 2370
  I should not think it strange; for 'tis a physic
  That's bitter to sweet end.

• Mariana. I would Friar Peter—

• Isabella. O, peace! the friar is come.

[Enter FRIAR PETER]

• Friar Peter. Come, I have found you out a stand most fit,
  Where you may have such vantage on the duke,
  He shall not pass you. Twice have the trumpets sounded;
  The generous and gravest citizens
  Have hent the gates, and very near upon 2380
  The duke is entering: therefore, hence, away!

[Exeunt]
