Fields without the town
Charles Knight, 1851
- Enter Duke in his own habit and Friar Peter.
Duke
1 - 10- 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,
- Though sometimes you do blench from this to that,
- As cause doth minister. Go call at Flavio’s 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.
Friar Peter
11- It shall be speeded well.
- Exit.
- Enter Varrius.
Duke
12 - 14- 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.
