Enter ISABELLA and MARIANA
ISABELLA
      To speak so indirectly I am loath:
      I would say the truth; but to accuse him so,
      That is your part: yet I am advised to do it;
      He says, to veil full purpose.
MARIANA
5     Be ruled by him.
ISABELLA
      Besides, he tells me that, if peradventure
      He speak against me on the adverse side,
      I should not think it strange; for 'tis a physic

MARIANA

ISABELLA

Enter FRIAR PETER
FRIAR PETER

      Where you may have such vantage on the duke,
      He shall not pass you. Twice have the trumpets sounded;

      Have hent the gates, and very near upon
      The duke is entering: therefore, hence, away!
