BOY [sings]

Take, oh | take those^|lips a|way,
T T T
, ,
That so sweet|ly were | forsworn,
,
, ,
___
And those | eyes: the | break of | day
,
, ,
__
Lights that | do mis|lead the | morn;
,
, , __
, __
But my | kisses | bring a|gain,| bring
a|gain,
,
, ,
__ ,
__
Seals of | love, but | sealed in | vain,| sealed
in | vain.
MARIANA
, , ,
, ,
Break^off | thy song,| and haste | thee quick | away,
,
, , ,
,
Here* comes | a man | of com|fort, whose | advice
,
, ,
, ,
Hath of|ten stilled | my brawl|ing dis|content.
, ,
, , ,
I cry | you mer|cy, sir,| and well | could wish
, ,
, , ,
You had | not found | me here | so mus|ical.
, ,
, ,
,
Let me | excuse | me, and | believe | me so,
, ,
, ,
,
My mirth | it much | displeased,| but pleased |
my woe.
DUKE VINCENTIO
'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 inquired for me here
today; much upon this time have I promised here to meet.
MARIANA
You have not been inquired after: I have sat here all day.
[Enter ISABELLA]
DUKE VINCENTIO
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.

Very | well met, and | welcome:|
, ,
, , ,
What is | the news | from this / good dep|uty?
ISABELLA
, ,
, , ,
He hath | a gard|en cir|cummured | with brick,
,
, ,
, ,
Whose west|ern side | is with | a vine|yard backed;
, ,
, ,
,
And to | that vine|yard is | a planch|ed gate,
,
, , 2
, ,
That makes | his op|ening | with this big|ger
key:
,
, ,
, ,
This oth|er doth | command | a lit|tle door,
,
, ,
, ,
Which from | the vine|yard to | the gard|en
leads,
, 2 ,
, ,
There have I | made my | promise,| upon | the
<- ,
x , ,
, ,
Heav||y middle | of the | night, to | call u|pon
him.
DUKE VINCENTIO
, , ,

But shall | you on | your know|ledge find | this
way?
ISABELLA

I have tane | a due,| and war|y note | upon
it,
, 2
, , ,
,
With whis|pering, and / most guilt|y dil|igence,
,
, , ,
2 ,
In ac|tion all | of pre|cept, he did | show me
, T T
The way | twice ore.
DUKE VINCENTIO

Are | there no^oth|er tok||ens
, 2 , , ,

Between | you agreed,| concern|ing her | obser||vance?
ISABELLA
, ,
, 2 , 2
,
No:| none but | only | a repair | in the dark,
,
, , ,
,
And that | I have | possessed | him, my |
most^stay
, ,
, ,
,
Can be | but brief:| for I | have made | him
know,
,
, ,
, ,
I have | a serv|ant comes | with me | along
, ,
, ,
,
That stays | upon | me; whose | persua|sion is,
,
, ,
2
I come | about | my broth|er.
DUKE VINCENTIO
, ,
'Tis well | borne^up.
2 , ,
, , ,
I have not | yet made^|known to | Mari|ana
,
, , ,
,
A word | of this:| what^ho,| within;| come*
forth,
,
, ,
, ,
I pray | you be | acquaint|ed with | this maid,
, ,
,
She comes | to do | you good.
[Enter MARIANA]
ISABELLA

I do | desire | the like. (tri with

Do you per|suade your|self that | I re|spect you?
MARIANA

Good fri/ar, I | know you | do, and | have found
it.

[Exeunt MARIANA and ISABELLA]
DUKE VINCENTIO
, , ,
, ,
Oh place,| and great|ness: mil|lions of / false eyes
,
, , ,
,
Are stuck | upon | thee: vol|umes of | report
,
, ,
, 2 ,
Run with | these^false,| and most | contra|rious quest
,
, , 2 ,
,
Upon | thy do|ings: thous|and escapes | of wit
,
, ,
, ,
Make thee | the fath|er of | their id|le dream,
, , 2
, ,
2 ,
And rack | thee in their | fancies.| Welcome,| how
agreed?
[Enter MARIANA and ISABELLA]
ISABELLA
,

She'll take | the ent|erprise | upon | her
fath||er,
, 2 ,
2
If | you advise | it.
DUKE VINCENTIO
, ,
,
It is | not my | consent,
,
, ,
But my | entrea|ty too.
ISABELLA
,
, ,
Little | have you | to say (tri with prev)
,
, , ,
,
When you | depart | from him,| but soft | and
low,
,
, ,
Remem|ber now | my broth|er.
MARIANA
, ,
Fear | me not.
DUKE VINCENTIO
, ,
, ,
,
Nor gent|le daught|er, fear | you not | at all:
,
, , ,
,
He is | your hus|band on a // pre-contract:
, ,
, ,
,
To bring | you thus | togeth|er 'tis | no sin,
, 2
, ,
, ,
Sith that the | justice | of your | title | to
him
,
, ,
, ,
Doth flour|ish the | deceit.| Come, let | us go.
, ,
, ,
,
Our corn's | to reap,| for yet | our tithe's | to
sow.
