SONG

Take, O, take those lips away,



That so sweetly were forsworn;

And those eyes, the break of day,



Lights that do mislead the morn;

But my kisses bring again, bring again;



Seals of love, but seal'd in vain, seal'd in vain.

Enter DUKE, disguised as before



MARIANA. Break off thy song, and haste thee quick away;

Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice



Hath often still'd my brawling discontent. Exit BOY

I cry you mercy, sir, and well could wish



You had not found me here so musical.

Let me excuse me, and believe me so,



My mirth it much displeas'd, but pleas'd my woe.

DUKE. 'Tis good; though music oft hath such a charm



To make bad good and good provoke to harm.

I pray you tell me hath anybody inquir'd for me here to-day. Much



upon this time have I promis'd here to meet.

MARIANA. You have not been inquir'd after; I have sat here all day.



Enter ISABELLA

DUKE. I do constantly believe you. The time is come even now. I



shall crave your forbearance a little. May be I will call upon

you anon, for some advantage to yourself.



MARIANA. I am always bound to you. Exit

DUKE. Very well met, and well come.



What is the news from this good deputy?

ISABELLA. He hath a garden circummur'd with brick,



Whose western side is with a vineyard back'd;

And to that vineyard is a planched gate



That makes his opening with this bigger key;

This other doth command a little door



Which from the vineyard to the garden leads.

There have I made my promise



Upon the heavy middle of the night

To call upon him.



DUKE. But shall you on your knowledge find this way?

ISABELLA. I have ta'en a due and wary note upon't;



With whispering and most guilty diligence,

In action all of precept, he did show me



The way twice o'er.

DUKE. Are there no other tokens



Between you 'greed concerning her observance?

ISABELLA. No, none, but only a repair i' th' dark;



And that I have possess'd him my most stay

Can be but brief; for I have made him know



I have a servant comes with me along,

That stays upon me; whose persuasion is



I come about my brother.

DUKE. 'Tis well borne up.



I have not yet made known to Mariana

A word of this. What ho, within! come forth.



Re-enter MARIANA

I pray you be acquainted with this maid;



She comes to do you good.

ISABELLA. I do desire the like.



DUKE. Do you persuade yourself that I respect you?

MARIANA. Good friar, I know you do, and have found it.



DUKE. Take, then, this your companion by the hand,

Who hath a story ready for your ear.



I shall attend your leisure; but make haste;

The vaporous night approaches.



MARIANA. Will't please you walk aside?

Exeunt MARIANA and ISABELLA



DUKE. O place and greatness! Millions of false eyes

Are stuck upon thee. Volumes of report



Run with these false, and most contrarious quest

Upon thy doings. Thousand escapes of wit



Make thee the father of their idle dream,

And rack thee in their fancies.



Re-enter MARIANA and ISABELLA

Welcome, how agreed?



ISABELLA. She'll take the enterprise upon her, father,

If you advise it.
