| ACT IV SCENE VI | 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, | |
| | That is your part: yet I am advised to do it; | |
| | He says, to veil full purpose. | 5 |
| MARIANA | Be ruled by him. | |
| ISABELLA | Besides, he tells me that, if peradventure | |
| | He speak against me on the adverse side, | |
| | I should not think it strange; for 'tis a physic | |
| | That's bitter to sweet end. | 10 |
| 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; | 15 |
| | The generous and gravest citizens | |
| | Have hent the gates, and very near upon | |
| | The duke is entering: therefore, hence, away! | |
| | Exeunt. | |
