Reading edition

IV. 5 Scene V. Fields without the town.

Enter Duke in his own habit, and Friar Peter.

Duke. These letters at fit time deliver me: Giving letters. The provost knows our purpose and our plot. The matter being afoot, keep your instruction, And hold you ever to our special drift; 5 Though sometimes you do blench from this to that, As cause doth minister. Go call at Flavius’ house, And tell him where I stay: give the like notice To Valentius, Rowland, and to Crassus, And bid them bring the trumpets to the gate; But send me Flavius first.

10 Fri. P.

It shall be speeded well. Exit.

Enter Varrius.

Duke. I thank thee, Varrius; thou hast made good haste: Come, we will walk. There’s other of our friends Will greet us here anon, my gentle Varrius.

Exeunt.
