of this. What, ho! within! come forth!
_Re-enter MARIANA._
I pray you, be acquainted with this maid;
She comes to do you good.
_Isab._ I do desire the like. 50
_Duke._ Do you persuade yourself that I respect you?
_Mari._ 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; 55
The vaporous night approaches.
_Mari._ 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 quests 60
Upon thy doings! thousand escapes of wit
Make thee the father of their idle dreams,
And rack thee in their fancies!
_Re-enter MARIANA and ISABELLA._
Welcome, how agreed?
_Isab._ She'll take the enterprise upon her, father,
If you advise it.
_Duke._ It is not my consent, 65
But my entreaty too.
_Isab._ Little have you to say
When you depart from him, but, soft and low,
'Remember now my brother.'
_Mari._ Fear me not.
_Duke._ Nor, gentle daughter, fear you not at all.
He is your husband on a pre-contract: 70
To bring you thus together, 'tis no sin,
Sith that the justice of your title to him
Doth flourish the deceit. Come, let us go:
Our corn's to reap, for yet our tithe's to sow. [_Exeunt._
